Counters & Rate Panel Meters

PAXC

The PAXC (PAX Counter Panel Meter) offers many features and performance capabilities to suit a wide range of industrial applications. The optional Plug-in Setpoint Alarm Cards allow the opportunity to configure the meter for alarms if that is a requirement. The meter employs a bright 14mm LED display. The unit is available with a red sunlight readable or standard green LED display. The intensity of the display can be adjusted from dark room applications up to sunlight readable, making it ideal for viewing in bright light applications. The PAXC meter accepts digital inputs from a variety of sources including switch contacts, outputs from CMOS or TTL circuits and all standard RLC sensors. The meter can accept directional, uni-directional or Quadrature signals simultaneously. The maximum input signal varies up to 34 KHz depending on the count mode function configurations programmed. Each input signal can be independently scaled to various process values. The meter provides three different display indications. These include Counter A, Counter B, and Counter C. Counter A and Counter B indicate the corresponding input count value. Counter C indicates the sum or difference between Counter A and Counter B values. Annunciators indicate which display is being shown. The front panel keys and three user inputs are programmable to perform various meter functions. One function includes exchanging parameter lists, allowing double the number of programmable setpoint, scale factor and count load values.The meter can have up to four setpoint outputs, determined by the Plug-in cards. The Plug-in cards provide dual FORM-C relays (5 A), quad FORM-A relays (3 A) or either quad sinking or quad sourcing open collector logic outputs. The outputs can be assigned to any of the three displays. The outputs can also be independently configured to suit a variety of control and alarm requirements. Once the meters have been initially configured, the parameter list may be locked out from further modification in its entirety or only the setpoint values can be made accessible.The meter has been specifically designed for harsh industrial environments. With a NEMA 4X/IP65 sealed bezel and extensive testing to meet CE requirements, the meter provides a tough yet reliable application solution.
