• Avoid routing control (signal) cables in parallel with or in close vicinity of power and supply cables. • Avoid close vicinity of devices generating high level of electromagnetic and/or pulse interference (high power loads, loads with phase or group power regulation). MD150E – pulses and velocity counter (02.06.2014)
MD150E can define signal frequency and scale counted values into required unites (rpm, rps, mm, m, deg, etc.) With two relay outputs the user is able to set thresholds as desired. MD150E is also equipped with additional input for resetting counter state.
Protective signal (230V version) 2.3 Power supply MD150E counter is available in two versions of power supply – low voltage (12…36 VDC) and high voltage ( 85…260V AC) supplied directly from mains electricity ~230V. For ~230V version on 13 (V+) clamp is available +15V voltage, which can be used for supplying sensor.
CLOCK/DIRECTION signals for controlling servomotors and stepper motor drivers For controlling servomotors and stepper motor drivers often are used CLOCK/DIR signals. This signal can be connected directly to MD150E counter, then it can be used for direct indication of motor position/velocity.
Way of connection external signals to MD150E counter depends on used sensor output type. Below are shown exemplary ways of connection. Picture. 1 Connection of +5V encoder with output RS422 type Picture.
CAUTION: Appearing of blinking measured value on display preceded by C means overfilling of result value (the result don’t fit in 6 position display). To display older part of the result press utton. MD150E – pulses and velocity counter (02.06.2014)
3.2 Example of parameter change After correct connection of external elements and switching power supply on MD150E counter is ready for operation with previously used settings, and in case of first operation – with factory settings. 1. P1 In order to enter programming mode, press .

This mode is designed mostly for use with external devices or with sensors with mentioned above signals. Picture. 6 Meaning of A/B external signals in dependence on input mode (7. In parameter). MD150E – pulses and velocity counter (02.06.2014)
-99.9999 up to 99.9999. 4.3 Measurement of pulses frequency (velocity) MD150E counter provides readout of counted pulses frequency, which allows e.g. to define rotational or linear speed of measured object with build-in sensor generating pulses. To provide correct velocity indication in set units (e.g..
Cycle counter state (L) is not saved. 4.7 Relay outputs and operation modes MD150E counter has two relay outputs PK1 and PK2, which can be turned on/off in dependence on counter state and operation mode. For configuration relay outputs you can use parameters listed below: 1.

This mode is dedicated for application in cutting machines for counting length and number of cut elements. Picture. 7 Example of length measurement application with MD150E used for counting material cut offs in a production line. Mode 4 (nodE 4) – Absolute controlled by velocity Activation of PK1 and PK2 outputs follows when velocity counter exceed (pulses frequency) values settings.
(e.g. high interference of power grid) the communication may not be possible. RS485 (MODBUS-RTU) interface MD150E counter is equipped with RS485 interface. It can be used for connection with PLC controller, HMI panel or other device supporting MODBUS-RTU protocol. MD150E – pulses and velocity counter (02.06.2014)
