6.  Pulse output

The BA564G Counter has an opto-isolated solid state
pulse output.  The output is an open collector having
the following electrical parameters: 

Ron

=

60

 + 3V

Roff

=

1M

Imax

=

10mA

The output pulse may be a synchronous duplicate of
Input A or Input b for re-transmission applications, or it
may be derived from the total display.   When derived
from the total display the output pulse frequency may
be divided and the output pulse width defined. 

The retransmitted RTx annunciator on the instrument
display  shows the  status of the retransmitted pulse
output.    Annunciator  activation  depends  upon  the
setting  of  

5ource

  in  the  pulse  output  configuration

menu.

6.1  System design

The Counter’s pulse output is a passive circuit i.e. not
powered,  but  it  is  totally  isolated  from  all  other
Counter circuits.  The terminals P1 and P2 may be
connected  to  any  other  instrument  with  an  open
collector pulse input.   

Fig 9 shows how to produce a voltage pulse output
that could be used to drive a safe area counter.    The
positive  terminal  of  the  pulse  output  circuit  P1  is
connected to the Counter’s positive supply terminal 1.
When an output pulse occurs and the open collector
output ‘closes’, P2 is connected to P1 and the pulse
current flows through resistor R1.  The current flowing
in  the  circuit is  determined by R1 which should be
chosen to limit the pulse output current to less than
10mA.   For a 24V supply R1 should be greater than
2,200

.  

Fig 9  Generating voltage pulse output

6.2  Configuration

The  pulse  output is  configured  via  the  

PuL5E  oP

sub-menu in the configuration menu as shown in
Fig 9.

This  sub-menu  allows  the  source  of  the  output
pulse  to  be  selected.    For  re-transmission
applications  the  output  pulse  may  be  a
synchronous duplicate of the pulse at Input A or at
Input b by selecting  

dirECt A

 or  

dirECt b

 in the

5ourCE

 sub-function.

Selecting 

5CALEd

 derives the output pulse from the

total  display  and  introduces  two  additional
functions,  

diVidE

 and  

durAtion

 to the sub-menu

allowing the output pulse frequency to be divided
and the output pulse width (duration) to be defined.

If  the  

diVidE

 and  

durAtion

 functions  are

configured  such  that  the  output  pulse  frequency
with the specified pulse width can not be output in
real time, the number of pulses will be stored and
transmitted at the maximum possible speed.

When the total display is reset to zero or the power
supply to the BA564G Counter is disconnected or
turned off, any stored pulses will not be retained
