2.4 Connection terminals
2.4.4.2 Connect digital counter inputs
Only possible on base devices.
Base devices with DC and UC voltage come with special counting and measuring
functions on inputs I1 to I4.
These functions are connected directly to function blocks.
The following applies to EASY-E4-UC-...:
The voltage supplied to the EASY-E4-UC-... must be a DC
voltage, since only DC signals will be processed.
You can process the following:
l
4 individual high-speed counter signals (one single counting direction), I1, I2, I3,
I4
l
2 incremental counters, I1, I2 and I3, I4
l
Frequencies I1, I2, I3, I4

Input cable length
Strong interference on long cables can result in inputs reach-
ing their switching level. Please do not exceed the maximum
cable lengths specified in the technical data for the con-
nected, shielded sensors.
