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.

Fig. 1 An example of connecting a sensor with a pulse output (for counter 1 and counter 2)
Wiring notes:
-
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).
-
The inputs require a connection of the sensor with the pulse output (eliminating flickers).

Wiring notes:
-
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).
-
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:
-
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).
-
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.
