Overview
The Durant 1700-401 is a solid-state counter module engineered for reliable batch counting and count control in PLC-based automation systems. As a dedicated counter peripheral, this module provides accurate count accumulation with preset registers and programmable relay outputs for process control and machine monitoring. The module is built with solid-state construction for durability in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features
- Counts up to 999,999 and down to -99,999 with internal overflow handling
- Two programmable preset registers (P1 and P2) for batch and totalizer applications
- Dual relay outputs with independent pulsed or latched mode operation
- Flexible reset modes: Reset to Zero or Reset to P1
- External reset input and front-panel reset button
- Low-speed dual inputs for count and direction control
- Maximum signal cable length support up to 30 metres
- Solid-state design for reliable operation in industrial settings
