The Advantech APAX-5080 counter module is the latest module to join the APAX series of products and features up to eight channels and hot-swappable functionality. With its 4/8 counter channels, the APAX-5080 is capable of simultaneously taking counts from multiple sources using any of its five operating modes (up, up/down, frequency, pulse/direction, and A/B phase modes), therefore saving hardware installation costs and providing greater scalability.

The flexibility of the APAX-5080 is enhanced with the additional benefit of four DI counter gates to define when a counter is enabled and four DO alarm output channels triggered by a specific counter value, so that the APAX-5080 can be configured to send an alarm message when certain criteria are met.

To reduce the risk of downtime in critical operations, the APAX-5080 module is designed to be hot swappable. It is easily configured using Microsoft Windows CE, Linux and SoftLogic software.
