Description:
Counters are
automation electromechanical, mechanical, or electronic devices used to totalize events and actuate contacts at a preset count. Many counters operate using voltage pulses or switch closures. In some instances, the counters might have a special control input for resetting to zero or a specific number. If the counter is designed to add and subtract items from the total, it might be designed with more features for controlling the count direction. Counters' output can be in the form of a simple display (indicating the totals) or a switching action (predetermined counting). In advanced designs, the counters' output can be electrical signals or even printouts. In the case of electronic counters, all the components are solid and they support high-speed inputs. They utilize logic levels and electrical pulses that support counting at high speeds. They also have a display LED and chip microcomputers for counting and totalizing functions.
