ADAM-5081 high speed quadrature encoder and counter module is for use with ADAM-5550 series Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs).

(Cincinnati, Ohio – 5/11/08) – Advantech introduces the ADAM-5081, a high speed quadrature encoder and counter module for use with the ADAM-5550 series Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs). The ADAM-5081 has a high isolation of 2,500 VDC, a high speed frequency mode (5 Hz ~ 1 MHz), and a counter code at 1 MHz. There’s also an advanced digital filter to eliminate noise and interference (1 ~ 65000ì sec) which ensures accurate data collection and transmission. The ADAM-5081 features four counter modes (up/down, bi-directional, up and A/B phase modes), which counts precise data units in minute detail.

The frequency mode of the ADAM-5081 supports up to eight channels and can control a wider range of electromagnetic wave status under certain conditions.The ADAM-5081 supports four digital output channels, which can be triggered by a preset counter value, and can watch the position encoder of the machine while doing the position comparing. Once the preset value is reached, the system requires a digital output signal to trigger the camera. With built-in DO channels already in the ADAM-5081, the respond speed is maximized.For applications requiring high speed data collection with high accuracy, such as facility automation and machine automation, and the ability to withstand harsh environments, the ADAM-5081 module is the optimum choice.
