Technical Specifications

Information About 140EHC20200

The 140EHC20200 module, a constituent of the Modicon Quantum series, serves as a high-speed counter module, designated to handle frequencies reaching 500,000 Hz. It operates within the Modicon Quantum automation platform, designed to facilitate precise counting and monitoring tasks in industrial automation systems.

Functionally, the module features two channels for counting inputs, accommodating incremental or quadrature signals. With its capability to manage frequencies up to 500,000 Hz, the module ensures efficient and accurate processing of high-frequency signals, enabling real-time monitoring and control of diverse industrial processes.

Regarding input specifications, the module accepts discrete input voltages below 30 volts, operating in either incremental or quadrature modes. It exhibits an input resistance of 10 kiloohms for discrete inputs, ensuring compatibility and reliability across various input signal types.

The module provides four discrete output channels utilizing Field Effect Transistors (FETs) as output components. Output voltage characteristics include 0 volts in the switch-off state and 0.4 volts in the switch-on state for DC signals. The module can handle a load current of up to 0.5 amperes, while maintaining a maximum leakage current of 0.4 milliamperes in the off state.

In terms of protection mechanisms, the module incorporates a 36-volt transorb for discrete output protection. It offers isolation between channels and the bus, providing a level of protection against electrical faults and disturbances. The module is equipped with safeguards against output field power loss and features output short-circuit protection through a 2.5-ampere blown fuse mechanism.

For power dissipation, the module's total power dissipation is determined by adding 4 to 0.4 times the total module load current. It requires a bus current of 650 milliamperes and an external power supply ranging from 19.2 to 30 volts for operation.

The module is designed with local signaling capabilities, utilizing two LEDs to indicate channel status. It is marked with the CE certification, indicating conformity with European Union safety standards.
