The CNT204/H (Order Number: 00012290-20) is a high-speed counter and position module for the Bachmann M1 system, designed for precision frequency measurement, phase-shift detection, and incremental encoder tracking. It features four independent counter channels, with two optimized for encoder inputs, and provides hardware-level synchronization and ultra-high-resolution timing for rapid pulse trains beyond standard digital inputs.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Counter Channels | 4 (two with incremental encoder support) |
| Encoder Interface | A/B tracks for 2 channels |
| Timing Resolution | 42 ns (period and differential measurement) |
| Measurement Modes | Frequency, period, counter, phase-shift |
| Signal Synchronization | Hardware-integrated across channels |
| Encoder Power | Provided via module front connectors |
| Diagnostics | LED per input for status and activity |
| Isolation | 500 V RMS field-to-system bus |
| Operating Temperature | −30°C to +60°C |
Used in wind turbine rotor speed monitoring, yaw position tracking, pulse-based flow measurement, and high-speed packaging machinery requiring precise synchronization between multiple axes.
Why is 42 ns timing resolution important?
It allows detection of extremely small timing differences and phase shifts, critical for monitoring rotating equipment and ensuring precise motion synchronization.
Does it support RS422 encoder signals?
The CNT204/H is optimized for 24V HTL signals. RS422 (5V) requires verification of sub-variants or use of a signal converter.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
