allen bradley counter?

matlark · Sep 2, 2011

Hello, I am looking for an allen bradley counter that does not need a plc to function. It will be counting 24VDC 250ms pulses... lets say after 100 pulses the counter turns on a light. I looked at the allen bradley site but couldn't find anything.
thanks

This is the only AB Counter I could find.

You might want to look at Red Lion, as that is more up their alley.

Thanks, that might work. Unfortuneately I have to stay with allen bradley.

I find it hard to believe you have to buy something from AB if what they offer isn't what you need. I've never seen a spec with a preferred vendor list that didn't give you some wiggle room.

Fortunately in this case it looks like the product sthompson pointed out will achieve the desired function, though possibly a great overkill.

I love the bid specs provided by the vendor of a product that define the function so narrowly that only the vendor's product can be used.

There may be some wiggle room on the manuf (ab preferred) but it must be UL rated. AB is preferred so thats what I try to get.
