P20: Fast counters

4/8 multimode fast counters
16 in + 16 out digital optoisolated
event-driven
IPC bus

  • Management of 16 optoisolated digital inputs + 16 outputs, usable as general purpose I/O and as fast counting channels (2 inputs in pair).
  • Management of 8 fast counting channels: each single channel can be configured by SW according to one of the following 3 modes:
    • Incremental Encoder Counting (PHA, PHB);
    • UP/DOWN count (PULSE, DIR);
    • UP count (PULSE, ENAB).
  • Use of a DSP microprocessor to allow high acquisition rates.
  • Acquisition and counting parameters modifiable by software.
  • Up to eight P20 cards can be installed simultaneously, for a total of 64 fast counters.
  • Possibility of customized Firmware.

Leomatic supplies the P20 boards with a Software Library that allows to manage all their potentialities and to realize the interface for the applications. The supplied software also includes some "demo" source files that illustrate the use of the library in various programming languages.

Leomatic is available to realize customized versions of the fast counting and I/O management Firmware.
