Type Description
Dual pulse input 1
[1]
High impedance High speed USM counter input, pulse counting.
Trigger level 0.5 V. Max. level 30 V. Frequency range
0 ... 5 kHz (4 x dual pulse) or 0 ... 10 kHz (4 x single
pulse).
Compliant with ISO6551, IP252 and API 5.5.
True Level A implementation.
Digital input 16
[1]
High impedance Digital status input, or test inputs. Update cycle
0.5 ms for 2 inputs, for others 250 ms max.
Digital output 16
[1]
Open Collector Update cycle for relays etc. (0.5 A DC). Rated output
100 V, @24 V. Update rate at cycle time.
Test output 1
[1]
Open Collector Two contiguous pulse outputs, for test applications.
One output corresponds to the highest value of the
dual pulse inputs and the other output corresponds
to the difference between the dual input pulses. The
outputs are On-Off-HighZ.
Pulse output 4
[1]
Open Collector Max. 500 Hz
[1]
Total number of digital inputs + digital outputs + pulse inputs + density inputs+
measured value inputs = 16.
