Omron introduces H7BX Multi-Function Counter

September 23, 2008 -- Omron Electronics meets machine builders' counting and positioning needs with a single H7BX multi-function counter that delivers simple preset and batch counting functions as well as advanced dual counter and tachometer functions. It fits standard DIN cutouts with a front panel measuring 72 x 72 mm and shallow mounting depth of 100 mm. The large, 6-digit highly visible backlit LCD display can be set to change color (red/green) when status changes enabling operators to check output status at a distance. User settings are simplified with a key for each digit on the IP54 rated front panel. Basic function setup via internal DIP switches, and 5-level key access protection with panel indicator discourage unauthorized setting changes. The counters comply with UL, CSA and RoHS standards and have CE marking. Omron's H7BX provides a total and preset counter, batch counter, dual counter, and tachometer. It accepts a wide range of inputs--NPN/PNP (multi-inputs), 2-wire DC sensors--for increment, decrement, command, individual, and quadrature operation modes. All models provide both contact output rated 3 A at 250 VDC/30 VDC, and NPN transistor output rated 100 mA max. at 30 VDC. The main display PV height is 13.5mm and SV height is 9.5mm. The display can be set for green or red and it can be programmed to change when a specific value is reached. The set value range can be selected as -99999 to 999999 or 0 to 999999. The multi-function H7BX counter with dual counter and tachometer is available from stock with list price of $299. A 4-function counter without dual counter and tachometer is available at $289.
