B&R X67DC1198
2 incremental or SSI encoder inputs 5 V 2 digital channels, 24 V per connection, configurable either as inputs or outputs 4 AB counters on the digital inputs Pulse width modulation of the digital outputs Encoder power supply 5 V and 24 V integrated in encoder connection The possibilities are almost endless with this digital counter module. Connectors 1 and 3 are 12-pin M12 connectors. Each of these can be used to connect 1 incremental encoder or SSI encoder with 5 V differential signals. In addition, there are 2 digital channels available on the same output which, when configured as inputs, can be used with incremental encoders with status outputs (e.g. alarms). When configured as outputs, they act as preset and count direction switching functions when used together with SSI encoders, for example. 2 more sockets and 2 more configurable digital channels are available on female connectors 2 and 4. The inputs can be used as latch, gate, or home enable switches, while the outputs can be used as comparator outputs, for example.
