Hello,
Just curious, Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a pulse converter?? Let me clear that up a little, I need to count product going down a conveyor at a rate of 1250 a minute (20 PPS).
I am working with a SLC 5/04 and my input(From A Prox)is going to an AC Input card, as it sits right now my input ON/Off time is larger than my scantime (34 Msec). I really only need a pulse every 10 or 20 items, do they make a stand alone unit that can count at high speed then give you a pulse out every so many counts (10 or 20 In = 1 Out). AC is all I have to work with in this location so switching to a high speed DC input is not an option and I am trying not to purchase a micrologix PLC just to convert the pulses to send to the main 5/04 PLC. First time messing with a high speed application. Thanks
