ADAM-4080 Module Features For Precision Pulse Signal Processing
Dual Independent 32-Bit Counter Channels With Overflow Support
- The ADAM-4080 features 2 independent counters with a massive maximum count of 4,294,967,295.
- Each channel includes a 1-bit overflow flag to ensure continuous tracking of pulse data.
- This high capacity makes it ideal for long term accumulation in production and flow monitoring.
High Speed Frequency Measurement And Configurable Gate Times
- The module supports frequency measurement across a wide range from 5 Hz to 50 kHz.
- It features programmable built-in gate times of either 1 second or 0.1 second for measurement precision.
- This flexibility allows for both high resolution speed monitoring and fast response rate detection.
Integrated Alarm Outputs For Autonomous Threshold Control
- The ADAM-4080 provides 2 open collector digital outputs rated to 30 V and 30 mA.
- Integrated alarm comparators on each channel allow for automatic output triggering.
- This enables the module to act as a local controller for batch completion or over-speed protection.
Robust Signal Protection And Programmable Noise Filtering
- The module offers 2,500 Vrms isolation voltage to protect the network from field transients.
- A programmable digital noise filter can be set between 2 µs and 65 ms to ensure signal integrity.
- These features support reliable operation in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Local Programmable LED Readout For Field Diagnostics
- A built-in 5-digit LED display provides local monitoring capabilities directly on the module.
- The display can be programmed to show data from either Channel 0 or Channel 1.
- This reduces the need for external handheld diagnostic tools during installation and maintenance.
Flexible Input Signal Compatibility For Diverse Sensor Interfacing
- The module supports both isolated (3.5-30 V) and non-isolated pulse input levels.
- Non-isolated input thresholds are programmable to match logic levels of 0.8 V to 5.0 V.
- This ensures seamless interfacing with TTL logic, dry contacts, and high-voltage industrial sensors.
