AEG AS-584L-231
- Product Introduction: AEG AS-584L-231 is a dedicated high-speed counter module for the Modicon 584 series industrial PLCs, designed for precise counting and position measurement of high-speed industrial processes and motion control applications. The module features multiple high-speed counter channels with support for incremental encoders and pulse input signals, and offers a wide range of counting modes and high input frequency capabilities. It integrates seamlessly with Modicon 584 series PLC chassis, with direct backplane bus communication for real-time data transfer, and provides comprehensive signal conditioning and protection features for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. It is a key component for motion control, material handling, packaging and production line counting applications requiring high precision and fast response.
- Technical Specifications:
- Number of Channels: 4 independent high-speed counter channels (isolated from each other and from backplane bus)
- Input Signal Type: Differential TTL/RS-422 (for incremental encoders), single-ended TTL; NPN/PNP transistor input (configurable)
- Maximum Input Frequency: 500 kHz per channel (differential input), 100 kHz per channel (single-ended input)
- Counting Range: 32-bit signed integer (-2,147,483,648 to +2,147,483,647) per channel, no rollover limit with software reset

- Functional Features:
- 4 independent high-speed counter channels with 500 kHz maximum differential input frequency enable precise counting and position measurement of high-speed industrial processes and motion control applications
- 32-bit signed integer counting range per channel provides ultra-large counting capacity, eliminating the need for frequent software reset in long-duration counting applications
- Quadrature encoder support with 1x/2x/4x multiplication configurable enables high-precision position measurement for motion control systems (conveyors, robotic arms, packaging machinery)
- Multiple configurable counting modes (up/down, gate count, preset count) adapt to a wide range of industrial counting and position control requirements, with flexible trigger conditions
- High-voltage isolation (1500 V AC channel-to-channel, 2500 V AC channel-to-backplane) prevents electrical interference and ground loops from affecting counting accuracy, ensuring reliable operation in noisy industrial environments
- 4 integrated relay outputs for preset count trigger and alarm signaling, enabling direct control of external equipment (e.g., stop/start, sorting, alarm) without additional I/O modules
- Support for both 5 V DC differential TTL/RS-422 and 24 V DC NPN/PNP transistor inputs, compatible with almost all industrial incremental encoders and pulse sensors
- Real-time backplane bus communication with Modicon 584 series CPU (<1 ms latency) ensures instant data transfer and fast response to counting and position changes
- Signal conditioning and protection features (overvoltage, reverse polarity, ESD protection) for input channels, preventing damage from electrical surges and faulty sensor wiring
- Easy configuration and programming with Modicon 584 series dedicated software, featuring pre-built function blocks for counting modes and preset triggers, reducing programming time
- Rugged industrial design with wide operating temperature range (-25°C to +70°C), suitable for harsh industrial environments including cold storage, high-temperature production lines and outdoor control stations
