Description

The IC697HSC700 is a high-performance High-Speed Counter (HSC) module designed for the GE Fanuc Series 90-70 programmable logic controller system. This single-slot module is engineered to interface high-speed switching signals, providing precise counting and processing capabilities for demanding industrial applications. It supports multiple operating modes, including Type A, D, and E, with a maximum frequency capability of 200 kHz in standard modes and up to 800 kHz in Type E Quad B mode.

Features

• Twelve (12) single-ended or differential logic inputs (positive logic).
• Four (4) positive logic output channels with short-circuit protection.
• Supports 5 VDC or 10-30 VDC input voltage ranges.
• Configurable input filtering (2.5 µs high-frequency or 12.5 ms low-frequency) to mitigate signal bounce and electrical noise.
• Integrated LED status indicators for Module OK and individual output circuit monitoring.
• Continuous internal health diagnostics for counting and processing circuits.

Applications

• Turbine flowmeter monitoring and meter proving.
• Velocity measurement for conveyor systems and rotating equipment.
• Motion and position control in automated assembly lines.
• Robotics technology for monitoring joint rotation angles and speeds.
• Automotive manufacturing processes, including welding and painting automation.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guidelines

• Ensure the PLC system is powered down before inserting or removing the module from the baseplate.
• The module must be installed in an available I/O slot on a Series 90-70 CPU baseplate, expansion baseplate, or remote baseplate.
• Use shielded cabling for high-speed input signals to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Route signal cables away from high-voltage power lines and high-EMI sources.
• Ensure proper grounding of the module chassis to the system backplane to maintain signal integrity.
• Requires Series 90-70 IC697CPU with firmware version 5.0 or later.

FAQ

What software is required to configure the IC697HSC700?

The module is compatible with Logicmaster 90-70 (version 5.0x or later), VersaPro Professional Edition, and Proficy Machine Edition Logic Developer PLC Professional Edition.

What do the LED indicators signify?

The 'MODULE OK' LED indicates that the module has successfully completed its power-up self-tests. The '01-04' LEDs provide real-time visual status of the four output circuits.

Can this module handle high-frequency noise?

Yes, the module features user-configurable input filters. You can select between high-frequency (2.5 µs) or low-frequency (12.5 ms) filtering to prevent electrical interference or signal bounce from affecting count accuracy.
