Bachmann CNT204/H Counter Module

Product Description

The CNT204/H (Order Number: 00012290-20) is a high-speed counter and position module for the Bachmann M1 system, designed for precision frequency measurement, phase-shift detection, and incremental encoder tracking. It features four independent counter channels, with two optimized for encoder inputs, and provides hardware-level synchronization and ultra-high-resolution timing for rapid pulse trains beyond standard digital inputs.

Technical Specifications

Application

Used in wind turbine rotor speed monitoring, yaw position tracking, pulse-based flow measurement, and high-speed packaging machinery requiring precise synchronization between multiple axes.

FAQ

Why is 42 ns timing resolution important?
It allows detection of extremely small timing differences and phase shifts, critical for monitoring rotating equipment and ensuring precise motion synchronization.

Does it support RS422 encoder signals?
The CNT204/H is optimized for 24V HTL signals. RS422 (5V) requires verification of sub-variants or use of a signal converter.
