Red Lion Controls C48CP105 C48C (2PPSLBSNKSER)

Description

The C48CP105 is a dual preset counter with solid-state outputs. The solid-state outputs are NPN current sinking, open-collector transistor outputs. This model has an additional output configured as a prescaler output. The Prescaler Output is useful for providing a lower frequency scaled pulse train to a PLC or another external totalizing counter. The Prescaler Output provides a programmable width output pulse for every count or every 10 counts registered on the display.

The C48C features a 7 segment, 2 line by 6 digit backlit LCD display. For the backlit versions, the main display line is red and shows the count value. The smaller secondary display line is green and can be used to view the prescaler value, preset values, or output time values.

The C48C offers a choice of nine programmable counting modes for use in applications requiring bi-directional, anti-coincidence, and quadrature counting. The unit may be programmed to register counts on both edges of the input signal providing frequency doubling capability. DIP switches are used for input configuration set-up and to provide a Program Disable function.

Four front panel push-buttons are used for programming the operating modes and data values, changing the viewed display, and performing user programmable functions, e. g. reset, etc. The C48C can be configured for one of two numeric data entry methods, digit entry or automatic scrolling. The digit entry method allows for the selection and incrementing of digits individually. The automatic scrolling method allows for the progressive change of one through all digit positions by pressing and holding the “up” or “down” button.

The Program Disable DIP switch, a user-programmable code value, and an external user input selected for Program Disable can be utilized to provide multi-level protection against unauthorized changes to data values and unit configuration.

The C48 Counter has programmable User Inputs and a programmable front panel function key. The user inputs can be configured as sinking (active low) or sourcing (active high) inputs via a single plug jumper.

The RS-485 serial communication interface provides two-way communication between a C48 and other compatible equipment such as a printer, PLC, HMI, or a host computer. In multipoint applications (up to thirty-two), the address number of each C48 on the line can be programmed from 0 to 99. Data from the C48 can be interrogated or changed, and alarm output(s) may be reset by sending the proper command code via serial communications. PC software, SFC48, allows for easy configuration of controller parameters. These settings can be saved to disk for later use or used for multi-controller down loading. On-line help is provided within the software.

Optional programming software (SFC48) is available to program all unit configuration parameters. The software allows unit configurations to be created, uploaded, downloaded, and saved to a file for later use or multi-unit programming.

The unit is constructed of a lightweight, high impact plastic case with a textured front panel and a clear display window. The front panel meets NEMA 4X/IP65 specifications when properly installed. Multiple units can be stacked horizontally or vertically. Modern surface-mount technology, extensive testing, plus high immunity to noise interference makes the C48 Counters extremely reliable in industrial environments.
