The KL1512 Bus Terminal is a 2-channel up or down counter and transports the counter value electrically isolated to the higher-level automation device. The pulses for the two counters are set via the inputs; the counting direction can be changed to down by register. The signal states of the inputs are indicated by light emitting diodes.
Special features:
- suitable for simple counting tasks with counting frequencies up to 1 kHz, such as the connection of a flow meter
- two up or down counters
