TSX-CTM-100
Telemecanique 1 Channel Fast Counter Module

The Telemecanique TSXCTM100 is a single channel fast counter module which is now obsolete. The module is capable of performing predefined data processing functions and making decisions according to the information received. It is designed for use in all TSX Series 7 PLCs (except the TSX 47-10) for applications that require rapid counting functions (up to 40 KHz) such as the counting of parts or events, or the measurement of lengths, speeds, times. The counter module was superseded by the TSXCCM100 which offered all the features of the TSXCTM100 and added electronic cam functionality.

After the module has been initialized and received its parameters, it can operate completely independently of the user program in the PLC. However, where necessary, the operation of the module can be synchronized with the execution of the user program by means of:

• The Register interface, which exchanges input words (IW) and output words (OW) with the CPU on each cycle of the task in which the module is configured
• The generation of Interrupts (IT) to the CPU, which have the effect of jumping the scan to the Interrupt task, which has the highest priority.

The Telemecanique TSXCTM100 incorporates the following functions

• Counter function
• Up/Down counter function
• Timer function
• Position Measurement Function
• Tachometer function
