OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

FP-QUAD-510

4-Axis, Quadrature Input Module

These operating instructions describe the installation, features, and
characteristics of the FP-QUAD-510. For details on configuring
and accessing the FP-QUAD-510 over a network, refer to the user
manual forthe particular FieldPoint network module you are using
with the FP-QUAD-510.

Features

The FP-QUAD-510 is a FieldPoint quadrature input module with
the following features:
Four independent 32-bit position counters with individual
PhaseA, Phase B, and Index input terminals
Velocity measurement capabilities
Programmable reset on index mode
Sinking inputs, compatible with TTL or differential devices
Inputs protected to ±250VDC
Hot plug and play operation
2,500 Vrms input-to-output isolation
Double insulated for 250V safe working voltage

Power Requirement

The FP-QUAD-510 is powered via the local backplane bus from
the FieldPoint network module. The FP-QUAD-510 is a
high-power consumption module and requires more than the
nominal power allocated to an I/O module from the network
module. In some applications, this could limit the number of I/O
modules that you can connect to a single network module.
