Dedicated Hardware Support: Provides a specialized base for timer/counter plug-in modules, ensuring optimal electrical connectivity and signal integrity for timing/counting operations
Backplane Integration: Leverages the Series 90-30 PLC backplane to transmit timing/counting data directly to the CPU, eliminating the need for external wiring and reducing signal interference
Slot-Saving Design: Occupies only 1 slot in the PLC I/O rack, maximizing space for other I/O modules in compact control cabinets
Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Supports easy installation of compatible timer/counter plug-ins; no complex configuration is needed to recognize the base module via the PLC CPU
Rugged Construction: Built to withstand industrial environmental conditions (temperature fluctuations, humidity), ensuring long-term operational reliability
Application Scenarios
Manufacturing Assembly Lines: Used in automated assembly processes (e.g., automotive parts assembly, electronics manufacturing) to track production cycles via counting (e.g., number of parts processed) or control task timing (e.g., duration of a welding process)
Material Handling Systems: Integrates with conveyor belts, robotic arms, or sorting equipment to count the number of items transported or set time intervals for equipment activation (e.g., conveyor start/stop timing)
Packaging Machinery: Enables precise counting of packaged products (e.g., bottles, boxes) or controls the timing of sealing, labeling, or filling operations to ensure consistent packaging quality
Process Control in Utilities: Applied in water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, or small-scale power distribution systems to count operational cycles (e.g., pump starts) or time control sequences (e.g., valve opening durations)
Food and Beverage Production: Used in packaging or processing lines to count product units (e.g., cans, bags) or time heating/cooling cycles, ensuring compliance with production standards
