The IP482 Counter/Timer Module from Acromag, Inc. features ten 16-bit TTL counters, making it suitable for a variety of counting and timing applications. It supports both internal and external triggering, allowing for synchronization with specific events. The module can operate with selectable internal clock frequencies of 0.5, 1, 2, 4, or 8 MHz for 8 MHz carrier operation, and 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32 MHz for 32 MHz carrier operation. The minimum input event and pulse measurement times are 125 ns for 8 MHz and 31.25 ns for 32 MHz, providing flexibility in timing accuracy. The module is compliant with ANSI/VITA 4 specifications and offers a front panel SCSI-3 connector for field I/O. It operates within a temperature range of 0 to 70¬8C or -40 to 85¬8C for extended versions, making it suitable for various environmental conditions. The IP482 is designed for ease of configuration, with most settings managed through a single register.
Several models with a variety of configurations provide up to ten counter/timer channels for counting events, generating waveform control signals, measuring pulse-widths or periodic rates, and monitoring operations.
Support for internal or external triggering simplifies the synchronization of operations to specific events. Counter functions can use internally generated clocks or an externally supplied clock.
