About the D4-HSC
D4-HSC is a high speed counter module manufactured by Automation Direct, Facts Engineering, and Koyo. A member of the DirectLogic 405 family, this module is designed to interface with programmable logic controllers from the same series. The module features high speed up and down counting abilities that work with the PLCs central processing unit (CPU) module. An intelligent module, this I/O device features 16 assigned X input points and 32 assigned Y output points. This module works asynchronously with the PLC’s CPU, providing rapid response and control to the user.
A number of features are integrated into D4-HSC, providing the user with a tailored experience. As a counter, the device can count as low as -8,388,608 and as high as 8,388,607. Seven control inputs are available for the user to select, as well as four external motor control output modes. User control inputs for the module include IN A, IN B, IN Z, LD, RST, LATCH, C.INH, DUN, LS1, and LS2. Motor controls include clockwise, counter-clockwise, decelerate, and equal. The counter can also perform basic multiplication, allowing for x1, x2, and x4 commands.
Following all installation and storage parameters will prevent the module from incurring any accidental or preventable damages. A temperature sensitive device, the module requires a controlled enviornment. When oeprating, ambient temperatures can safely range from 32℉ to 140℉, or 0℃ to 60℃. Storage temperatures can also affect the module and should be monitored. These temperatures can safely range as low as -4℉, or -20℃, and as high as 158℉, or 70℃. A complete wiring and installation guide is available in the series manual and device datasheet. Automation Direct and Koyo provided original technical support for D4-HSC.
