Pulse Output Count: The pulse output count (COUNT) is programmable from 0.000001 to 9999999. PV and math channels generate a frequency equal to the PV or math value divided by the Count value. Rate pulses are generated at a rate of one output pulse per Count value. Total and grand total pulses are generated for every total or grand total increment selected (e.g. Count value of 100 will generate one pulse every time the total is incremented by 100 units).
Pulse rate retransmission outputs one to one for input pulses, up to maximum output speed. Count is not used for retransmitting outputs.
Pulse Output Pulse Width: Unless otherwise stated, pulses are 50% duty cycle for required frequency.
A pulse rate retransmit output will generate 100 to 130 μs pulses at the falling edge of every input pulse.
Pulse Output Maximum Frequency: 5 kHz, pulse width at 50% duty cycle. If the outputs exceed 5 kHz, the scanner will display pUlse OVERRNG
Quadrature Output: Output set to quadrature will lag the other pulse output by 90° (1/4 duty cycle) at output frequency. Minimum 1 Hz
Timer Output: Programmable on and off time, repeating cycle. Minimum period 0.1 second, maximum 100,000 seconds. Minimum pulse time 0.01 second, maximum 10,000 seconds.

Applications

Modbus Scanner Example 1: Master Tank Level Indicator

The following example shows just one possible use for the PD6730X. The PD6730X is set up for Master mode and is polling the Modbus transmitters. In this application, we have a system consisting of (4) MTS M-Series multivariable tank level gauges connected to a PD6730-AX0-I-L displaying product level and interface level in feet and inches, and the average temperature in °F. The tank level indicator displays the level and interfaces for each tank as the PVs are scanned.

Modbus Scanner Example 2: Snooper Flowmeter Display

In this application, a system consisting of (2) Modbus enabled flowmeters are connected to a SCADA system operated out of a control room. A Modbus PLC polls the data out of the flowmeters. A PD6730-AX0-I-2 has been added to the system as a Modbus Snooper, to provide the operators an easy to read field display near the flow lines. The scanner displays one flow rate on the top display, and one on the bottom display. Each has an alternating tag and unit for clear identification.
