INPUT SPECIFICATIONS
■ Sensor Excitation
MODEL: R3–PA4A[1][2]
Voltage: 12 V DC ±10 %
Current: 15 mA
Current limiting circuit: Approx. 30 mA
■MAXIMUM FREQUENCY: 100 kHz
ORDERING INFORMATION
• Code number: R3-PA4A[1][2]
Specify a code from below for each of [1] and [2].
(e.g. R3-PA4AW/Q)
Minimum pulse width requirement: 5 μsec. for both ON and
OFF
■DIVIDING RATIO: 1 – 50000 (programmable using the
R3CON PC Configurator software; factory setting ‘1’)
Firmware Version 0.04 or lower versions do not have this
feature. Confirm the firmware version using the R3CON.
■COUNT RANGE: 1 – 100 000 000 (0 at reset)
Count at overflow: Reset and restart at ‘1.’
Min. and max. pulse range selectable using the R3CON PC
Configurator Software. Refer to the R3CON Users Manual for
detailed information.
• Specify the specification for option code /Q
(e.g. /C01/SET)
NO. OF CHANNELS
4A: 4 channels, high speed totalized pulse input
[1] COMMUNICATION MODE
S: Single
Recount start value at over flow: 0 or 1
Maximum count: 1000 – 800 000 000
■DETECTING LEVEL
W: Dual
[2] OPTIONS
blank: none
Detecting level: 15 – 100 %
(of voltage across the terminals)
/Q: With options (specify the specification)
Factory setting: 50 % (programmable using the R3CON PC
Configurator software)
Note 1. Each channel has three sets of input terminals.
Input terminal 1: 2 – 5, 7 – 10, 12 – 15, 17 – 20
Input terminal 2: 3 – 5, 8 – 10, 13 – 15, 18 – 20
Input terminal 3: 4 – 5, 9 – 10, 14 – 15, 19 – 20
Note 2. Gain 1 or Gain 2 selectable with the side DIP SW.
Note 3. Measured as 0 % below 15 % of the range.
■THRESHOLD
SPECIFICATIONS OF OPTION: Q (multiple selections)
COATING (For the detail, refer to M-System's web site.)
/C01: Silicone coating
/C02: Polyurethane coating
/C03: Rubber coating
EX-FACTORY SETTING
/SET: Preset according to the Ordering Information Sheet
(No. ESU-8387)
Pulse logic is detected by comparing input pulse voltage
and the detecting level. Detecting ‘Rise’ or ‘Sink’ can be
switched by using the R3CON PC Configurator software;
factory setting ‘Rise’)
