Interval Counter Input
Purpose
With an interval counter, you can measure the number of intervals (continuous
counter from 0 to 255) and the duration of an interval.
You can use this data to calculate a speed, for example, if you know the path cov-
ered during the interval.
You can also acquire signals from simple rotary sensors and determine the rota-
tional speed from the interval duration.
Alternatively, you can use the number of intervals to measure positions or the num-
ber of intervals per time unit to measure speeds.
Principle
You can acquire the following with the interval counter input:
•
Number of intervals
•
Duration of an interval
