Omron Industrial Automation NX-CT High-Speed Counter Units

Omron Industrial Automation NX-CT High-Speed Counter Units are high-speed counters ideal for edge control, achieving high-speed response and high-resolution performance. The Omron Industrial NX-CT features a Counter Comparison function with detection within 1μs. Lightning-fast edge control processes signals instantly within the unit. These high-speed counter units can reduce waste and loss on production sites caused by control delays. The NX-CT also helps maximize added value in production environments.

Features

  • Counter match output with < 1μs detection performance, realizing high-speed edge control independent of a system's scan time
  • Advance time for precisely adjusting the output timing by correcting for the target device’s operation delays
  • Counter logging
    • Collects the count data of fast-moving workpieces
    • Logs up to 4096 data entries
  • Pulse-width modulation (PWM) output synchronizes the control pulse signal output with target matching
  • Switchable between three-phase (Phase A/Phase B/Phase Z), two-channel mode and single-phase, six-channel mode
  • Counter noise filter configurable per channel
