Hi all,
I have another thread that has evolved from the original subject into a new question so I thought I'd start a new topic.
I want to be able to count about 1000 pulses over 9 seconds.
Would this be possible using a 314C-2DP? This PLC reports that it has a speed of 0.1ms/1000 instructions. It also has "4 channel counting and measuring with incremental encoders 24V (60Khz)" not sure what that last bit means fully but am I right in thinking that if it ends up not being fast enough I could somehow configure 4 built in high-speed counters to do the job??
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I know that scan time is dependant on program size, the program isn't particularly large (I know that's not very descriptive!!)
Many thanks for any suggestions/pointers you can give me
