The DI0, DI1 (counter 1) and the DI2, DI3 (counter 2) binary inputs can be set - in addition to the function of standard inputs - to one of the special functions, allowing the connection of a positioning incremental encoder, application of fast counters, measuring the period and phase shift (e.g. for the phase-locking of a generator in small hydro plants ), etc.

Individual functions are described in detail in the documentation TXV 004 10, here is a Table with an overview of examples of specific terminal connections.

Wiring notes:

  1. The inputs are implemented with a common terminal - (N.B.: the GND terminal!). The terminal is galvanically connected with the negative power supply terminal and the signal ground of the TCL2, CIB and CH1 interface).

  2. The inputs require a connection of the sensor with the pulse output (eliminating flickers).

Wiring notes:

  1. The inputs are implemented with a common terminal - (N.B.: the GND terminal!). The terminal is galvanically connected with the negative power supply terminal and the signal ground of interface TCL2, CIB and CH1).

  2. The inputs require a connection of the sensor with the pulse output (with avoiding flickers).

 

 

Fig. 3 An example of connecting incremental encoders (counter 1 and counter 2)

 

Wiring notes:

  1. The inputs are implemented with a common terminal - (N.B.: the GND terminal!). The terminal is galvanically connected with the negative power supply terminal and the signal ground of interface TCL2, CIB and CH1).

  2. The module is designed to connect incremental encoders (rotary, linear) with an output of 24 V (it cannot be connected to sensors with 5 V output!). In this mode, only both tracks of the sensor are captured. A zero pulse and the measuring probe (the capture input) cannot be evaluated.
