Ken/Dirk, Not to beat a dead horse, but you could use PLB logic in the FBM241 to avoid the CP BPC issue. Pulse capture resolution (using PLB counters) is then up to the processing speed of the PLB logic (5-10msec?) and the actual FBM hardware/software...

We'll use a 207 instead.

The I/O resolution is subject to the CP's BPC. If you are running 100ms then your minimum reliable "capture" of those pulses is possibly 5 or less per second.

I'll probably buy a 207 card, I need approx. 10pulse/sec ( 10hz) Joe, I have plenty of 241's in stock, but no 207/206 and I don't need very high frequency pulses so I was wondering if a 241 could handle that. Probably not, otherwise they wouldn't have developed a 207/206 :-) Too bad, no savings today..... thanks Dirk -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Terry Doucet Sent: dinsdag 17 april 2012 14:38 To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] FBM241 - input pulse rate Dirk, The PSS for the FBM241 does not contain any information regarding the pulse rate or duration (timing) of the ON or the OFF state. Not sure if I have the latest PSS. You may want to check. I would only use it for slow changing signals as in ON for many seconds or OFF for many seconds. The FBM206 and FBM207 are the recommended IO for pulse input signals.

I know FBM206 has an input pulse rate of 10hz to 25khz, Can I presume the 241 is 0-10hz? > Thanks, > > Dirk > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > _ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys > Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
