Product Overview

The IC695HSC308 is a high-performance, universal high-speed counter module designed for the GE PACSystems RX3i platform. It features eight independent 5VDC differential or 12/24VDC single-ended counter channels capable of processing high-frequency pulse inputs. This module is ideal for applications requiring precise velocity measurements, turbine flowmeter monitoring, and material handling positioning. We provide this unit as 100% brand new, original factory-sealed hardware to ensure maximum system integrity.

Engineering Advantages

• Ultra-Fast Signal Processing: The module hardware can process input frequencies up to 1.5 MHz, enabling extreme precision in high-speed bottling lines and CNC machining where standard I/O modules may fall short due to slower sampling rates.

• Flexible Input Logic: Each channel can be configured for a variety of modes, including Type A, Type B, and Type C (Quadrature) counting. This versatility allows the module to interface with nearly any industrial encoder or proximity sensor without needing additional signal converters.

• Integrated Hardware Interrupts: The IC695HSC308 can trigger immediate CPU interrupts based on programmable count matches or rollovers. This bypasses the standard PLC scan cycle, ensuring near-instantaneous response times for safety-critical or high-precision cutoff operations.

• Enhanced Noise Immunity: The module utilizes advanced differential input circuitry to reject common-mode electromagnetic interference. This ensures signal clarity in environments near large variable frequency drives (VFDs) or motors, which are typically electrically noisy.

FAQs

1. Does this module require a specific backplane?
Yes, the IC695HSC308 must be installed in an RX3i Universal Backplane. It uses the PCI bus for high-speed data transfer and is incompatible with older 90-30 style expansion racks.

2. Can I use this module for quadrature encoder feedback?
Yes, the module can be configured for A/B Quadrature mode, allowing it to track both position and direction of rotation for motion control applications.

3. How do I configure the 5V vs. 24V input levels?
Input voltage levels can be set through the Proficy Machine Edition software configuration and by wiring to the appropriate terminals on the module’s front connector. No physical jumpers are required.

4. Does the module support "On-the-Fly" preset changes?
Yes, the RX3i CPU can send new count presets or configuration parameters to the module during runtime, enabling the machine to adapt to different product sizes or recipes without stopping.
