4.7.1 ADAM-5080 4-channel Counter/Frequency Module

With ADAM-5080 4-Channel Counter/Frequency Module, users can select either counter or frequency mode for data output. ADAM-5080 offers users a variety of very flexible and versatile applications such as below:

Counter Mode or Frequency Mode

If you want to measure the number of input signals for totalizer function, you may use counter mode to measure quantities such as movement and flow quantity. Alternatively, you can also select frequency mode to calculate the instantaneous differential of quantities such as rotating speed, frequency or flow rate, and present them in specific engineering formats.

Up/Down or Bi-direction Function

When operating in counter mode, you can choose either the Up/Down function or the Bi-direction function for different application purposes. The counter will count up or down according to your applications. This counting function helps users obtain the most accurate data.
