The data logger includes terminals that are configurable for pulse input as shown in the
following image.
Table 6-2: Pulse input terminals and the input types they can measure
Input Type Pulse Input Terminal
High-frequency
C (all)
U (all)
Low-level AC
U (even numbered terminals)
Switch-closure
P1
P2
C (all)
U (all)
Using the PulseCount() instruction, U and C terminals are configurable for pulse input to
measure counts or frequency. Maximum input frequency is dependent on input voltage. If pulse
input voltages exceed the maximum voltage, third-party external-signal conditioners should be
employed. Do not measure voltages greater than 20 V.
NOTE:
Conflicts can occur when a control port pair is used for different instructions (TimerInput
(), PulseCount(), SDI12Recorder(), WaitDigTrig()). For example, if C1 is used
for SDI12Recorder(), C2 cannot be used for TimerInput(), PulseCount(), or
WaitDigTrig().
