The 376B is available as a Single Preset or a Dual Preset Counter. The
Dual Preset Counter can be set as a Batch Counter. Both the Single Preset
and the Dual Preset versions have an internal Totalizing Counter which
will accumulate counts over numerous cycles. The 376B can be set up
for Interval
HIGH SPEED COUNTING: The Single Preset 376B counts at a maximum
frequency of 10 kHz. In addition to its high speed capabilities, a
debounce circuit can be enabled to limit the count frequency to 100 Hz.
COUNTING MODES: The 376B is available as a Single Preset or a Dual
Preset Counter. The Dual Preset Counter can be set as a Batch Counter.
Both the Single Preset and the Dual Preset versions have an internal
Totalizing Counter which will accumulate counts over numerous cycles.
The 376A can be set up for Interval Counting Mode using a separate Start
Signal, and can also be set up for Count with Inhibit Mode.
INPUTS/OUTPUTS: Two count inputs are available with the 376B. These inputs
can be set to count Uni-and Bi-directionally. They can also be set to accept
Quadrature inputs and can multiply the quadrature signals X1, X2 and X4. Input 2
also operates as the Start input in Interval Mode and as the inhibit input in Count
with Inhibit Mode.
These two inputs can be set to accept Current Sinking or Sourcing signals, and there is a
High/Low Threshold (Bias) setting allowing the input of TTL level signals. Digital Counter

OPERATOR PANEL AND HOUSING: The 376B operator panel is
dust and water tight and measures a compact 72 mm2. The panel
features a high intensity blue vacuum fluorescent display. The dis-
play uses 8 digits for its English language operator prompts and 6
digits to display the count value. For operator use, there are 4
snap action keys which allow the operator to easily view Process
Count, Batch Count, Totalizer Count, Presets, Scale Factor,
Output Settings and Decimal Point position. The 376B can be set
to lock out various displays from the operator. One key is dedicat-
ed to Resetting the Counter. This key can also be locked out.
SET-UP: Set-up of the 376B is accomplished using 16 DIP switch-
es which are located inside the unit. These DIP switches give a
visual indication of how the Counter is set-up, and eliminate the
use of complex programming codes. Field replacement of the unit
is quick. To replace a unit, remove the old unit from its housing,
set the DIP switches in the new unit to the same positions, and
plug the new unit in. It’s that simple.
AUXILIARY POWER SUPPLY: To power sensor and encoder
inputs, a regulated 12 VDC auxiliary power supply is provided.
This supply can provide 120 mA of current, and is short circuit
protected.

\\\ OPERATION \\\ DIMENSIONS (INCHES/MILLIMETERS)

The Series 376B Preset Counter is a predetermining counter that
will count high speed unidirectional, bi-directional, or quadrature
input signals, and will activate an output when the predetermined
preset value is reached. The unit is available in both Single and
Dual Preset models, and includes an internal totalizer. Also, the
376B counter will operate as a Batch Counter using the second
preset as a Batch Preset. The Series 376B comes with a variety of
counting modes. The operation of each counting mode is
described below.
COUNT UP FROM ZERO TO A GIVEN PRESET: The Output in the
Counter is activated when the Count equals the Preset. In the
Dual Preset Model, the Counter counts up from zero and Output
1 is activated when Preset 1 is reached and Output 2 is activated
when Preset 2 is reached.
COUNT DOWN FROM A PRESET TO ZERO: When Reset is
pressed, the Counter is set to the Preset Value. When the Count
Value equals zero, the Output is activated. In the Dual Preset
Model, the Counter counts down from the High Preset value and
activates one Output when it reaches the Low Preset Value; the
other Output is activated when the Counter counts down from
\\\ WIRING
the Low Preset Value and reaches zero.
INTERVAL MODE: In this mode, the Counter will not begin
counting until Input 2 is turned ON, indicating a Start Signal.
Once the Start Signal is received, the Output will turn ON and
the Counter will count. The Out- put will then turn OFF at the
preset or zero. The Start Signal must be activated each time the
process is reset, even when the Counter is set to Auto Reset
BATCH MODE - DUAL PRESET MODELS ONLY: In the Batch
Mode, Input 1 is the Count input and will turn ON at Preset 1.
Each time Output 1 turns ON, the Batch Counter will record a
Single/Dual Preset Counter // 376B Series

count. When the Batch Counter value equals the value in Preset
2, Output 2 will turn ON. The Batch Mode must be Manually
Reset (unless T2 is set to 00.00 (.5 w/AR) for Auto Reset).
TIMED OUTPUTS: The Outputs can be delayed before turning
OFF by setting time delay values for each output. Once the Preset
is reached, a time delay, according to the time value set, will
occur before the outputs turn OFF. This value can range from
0.00 SEC (OFF at Preset) to 99.99 SEC (Latched ON). In addition,
the outputs can also be set to turn OFF upon reaching the preset
for the other output in the Dual Preset Model.
SCALE FACTOR: A Prescale value can be set to allow viewing and
setting counts using real units of measure. The Prescale value is a
multiplier which is applied to the count in-put(s) to determine the
count display and preset values. The Prescale value can be set
from 0.00001 to 9.99999. In addition, the decimal point can be
set on the display to any one of 6 positions.
