Product Overview

The IC695HSC304 is a precision pulse-processing interface for the PACSystems RX3i, offering four independent 32-bit counter channels for high-frequency signal detection. It plays a key role in applications like velocity measurement, position tracking, and flow totalization by interfacing with encoders and flow meters. Supplied in 100% Brand New condition, it ensures accurate timing and signal integrity for advanced motion and process control.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

• High-Frequency Signal Processing: Handles pulses up to 1.5 MHz, enabling precise tracking of high-speed machinery and encoders.

• Deterministic Hardware Outputs: High-speed outputs allow immediate actions (e.g., firing solenoids or halting motors) based on counter values, bypassing CPU latency.

• Versatile Encoder Support: Supports A/B Quadrature, pulse-direction, and clock-up/clock-down signals for compatibility with various encoders.

• Comprehensive Digital Filtering: Built-in filters eliminate electrical bounce and noise for stable counts in harsh environments.

• Dynamic Reconfiguration: Counter parameters (preset values, modes) are configurable via PAC Machine Edition software, no hardware adjustments needed.

FAQs

Does this module require a specific slot in the RX3i rack?
Yes, it uses the PCI bus and must be installed in a PCI-capable slot on the RX3i Universal Backplane.

Can I use this module to calculate velocity and position?
Yes, it supports frequency measurement for calculating the rate of incoming pulses, ideal for tachometer and flow rate applications.

Is an external power supply required for the encoder?
Yes, the module needs an external power supply for the encoders. The backplane only powers the module’s internal logic.

What is the advantage of using differential inputs?
Differential inputs provide improved noise immunity, especially over long cable runs, helping prevent false counts from electromagnetic interference.
