Common Questions

  • Max frequency? 50 kHz per channel.
  • Channels? 4.
  • Manufacturer? Spectrum Controls (Allen-Bradley Encompass partner).

Mounting Steps

  1. Insert the module into an available SLC 500 chassis slot.
  2. Configure the module ID in RSLogix 500 I/O configuration.
  3. Wire encoder or flowmeter signals to the terminal block.
  4. Set filter jumpers if required for noise reduction.
  5. Download the program and verify counter operation.

Buying Advice

  • Confirm power supply capacity for the additional backplane load.
  • Use for high-speed pulse counting or flow measurement applications.
  • Consider 1746SC-CTR8 if more channels are needed later.
