3.8 ADAM-4080/4080D Counter/Frequency Input Modules

ADAM-4080/4080D Counter/frequency input module has two 32-bit
counter input channels (counter 0 and counter 1) with built-in programma-
ble timer for frequency measurement. These cost-effective modules let you
monitor counter/frequency data as measurements are taken.
Front Panel LED Indicator (ADAM-4080D only)
The 5-digit LED display of the ADAM-4080D lets you monitor its counter
data right at the source. The module's LED display shows counter values as
well as high-low alarm messages as a counter exceeds its programmed limits
(direct display).
Another option is to display data send by the host computer. The module
first sends counter data to the host computer for conversion or calculation.
The host computer sends the data back to the ADAM-4080D and the
module shows it on the module's LED display (remote display).
Signal Input Mode
The ADAM-4080/4080D provides separate terminals for photo isolated
input and non-isolated input to simplify wiring. Opto-isolated input
provides 2500 V
After you make the physical connections, program the module to identify
which of its two sets of input terminals it should activate (isolated or non-
isolated terminals).
Programmable Digital Filter
The ADAM-4080/4080D module includes a unique programmable digital
filter to reject noise on the input lines. You can specify separate time
constants, such as minimum signal width at high level and minimum signal
width at low level, to provide stable output readings.
Programmable Threshold
When the ADAM-4080/4080D is programmed for non-isolated input you
can set a high and low trigger level. Like the programmable digital filter, the
programmable threshold rejects noise on the input lines and provides stable
input readings
