Quadrature encoder and counter module

The ADAM-5081 is a high-speed quadrature encoder and counter module for use with the ADAM-5550 series programmable automation controllers (PACs) form Advantech. The ADAM-5081 has a high isolation of 2500 VDC, a high-speed frequency mode (5 Hz–1 MHz), and a counter code at 1 MHz. There’s also an advanced digital filter to eliminate noise and interference (1–65,000 µs) which ensures accurate data collection and transmission.

The ADAM-5081 features four counter modes (up/down, bi-directional, up and A/B phase modes), which counts precise data units in minute detail. The frequency mode of the ADAM-5081 supports up to eight channels and can control a wider range of electromagnetic wave status under certain conditions.

The ADAM-5081 supports four digital output channels, which can be triggered by a preset counter value, and can watch the position encoder of the machine while doing the position comparing. Once the preset value is reached, the system requires a digital output signal to trigger the camera. With built-in DO channels already in the ADAM-5081, the respond speed is maximised.

The ADAM-5081 module is designed for applications requiring high-speed data collection with high accuracy, such as facility automation and machine automation.
