DESCRIPTION

MTC-4002 is a fast counters and interrupts handler card designed
to be used in simple applications as well as complex real-time
controls.
It is a logic programmable versatile card. It has a generic counters
group and other more specifics that cover a wide range of
applications. It can still be targeted for specific applications on
request.
This card can be used to complement the control of one or more
MTC-4011 through the bus. This is useful in applications that
require rigorous control of position, speed or shift registers.
Multiple cards can be connected to the same rack.
The setup is done in a simple and intuitive way using graphical
software. The access to the counters and fast I/Os is done from
CoDeSys programming environment (www.3s-software.com)
using function blocks.

Summary of benefits:
Shift register oriented eight counter groups
One counter with eight latched registers
One counter with tracking and one output
One counter with tracking and double output
1 bit Shift Register with four delayed outputs
Twelve interruption sources

APPLICATION
The MTC-4002 is mainly used in applications that require accuracy on signal counting and a quick
response in real time. Note the flexibility and ease of configuration.
