ABB 64009486 NPCT-01C; PULSE COUNT/TIMER

Weight: The net weight of the product is about 1kg. The relatively light weight facilitates the installation, handling, and maintenance of the equipment, reducing the difficulty and labor intensity of manual operation.

Functional Features

Accurate pulse counting function

Capable of accurately counting various types of pulse signals, including square waves, sine waves, and other shaped pulse signals. On automated production lines, it can be used to count the quantity of products. For example, in the packaging production line, precise control of the quantity of packaged products is achieved by counting the pulses generated by the products passing through the detection points, ensuring that the quantity of each batch of products is accurate and error free.

Flexible timing function

Users can flexibly set the timing according to their actual needs through programming or setting relevant parameters. There are various timing modes, which can achieve single timing and trigger an action once the set time is reached; It can also achieve periodic timing, triggering corresponding operations in a loop according to the set time interval. In the maintenance and upkeep of industrial equipment, periodic scheduled tasks can be set, and the self inspection program of the equipment can be started regularly to promptly detect potential faults and hidden dangers.

Reliable system integration capability

The module was designed with full consideration for compatibility with other industrial equipment and systems, and can seamlessly integrate with ABB's various automation control systems and third-party equipment. It can easily connect to mainstream control systems such as PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and DCS (Distributed Control System), and interact and collaborate with other devices through standard communication interfaces and protocols. In a large-scale industrial automation project, NPCT-01C can work together with PLC to complete complex production process control tasks, improving the operational efficiency and reliability of the entire system.

Complete self diagnostic function

Equipped with a self diagnostic mechanism, capable of real-time monitoring of one's own work status. Once abnormalities are detected, such as abnormal input signals, output relay faults, internal circuit overheating, etc., the module will promptly issue alarm messages through indicator lights or communication interfaces to notify operators for maintenance and handling. This feature greatly improves the maintainability of the equipment, reduces production interruption time caused by module failures, and lowers the production losses of the enterprise.

Application Fields

Manufacturing industry

In the field of automobile manufacturing, it is used for automated control of production lines. For example, in the assembly process of automotive parts, by counting the pulses generated by the actions of the assembly robot, the assembly quantity and sequence of parts can be accurately controlled to ensure assembly quality. Meanwhile, by utilizing the timing function, the running rhythm of the equipment can be controlled, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the production line.

In the electronic manufacturing industry, it is possible to control the component mounting equipment on the electronic product production line. Monitor the number of actions of the mounting head through pulse counting to ensure that each component can be accurately mounted on the circuit board; Utilize the timing function to control the preheating, welding and other process time of the equipment, ensuring the production quality of electronic products.

Energy industry

In the field of power generation, NPCT-01C can be used to monitor the operating status of generators. By counting the pulses generated by the rotation of the generator, the speed of the generator is calculated, and the operation of the generator is monitored in real time. At the same time, the timing function can be used to control the regular inspection and maintenance tasks of power generation equipment, ensuring the stability and reliability of power supply.

In the petrochemical industry, it is used for controlling the chemical production process. For example, in the process of chemical reactions, by setting precise timing, controlling the addition time of raw materials and reaction time, the smooth progress of chemical reactions and the stability of product quality can be ensured. At the same time, the pulse counting function is used to monitor the material conveying equipment on the production line and count the amount of material conveyed.

Transportation and Communications

In the field of rail transit, it can be used for train operation control systems. By counting the pulses generated by the rotation of the train wheels, the precise measurement of the train's travel distance and speed provides important data support for the automatic driving and safe operation of the train. At the same time, the timing function is used to control the signal light switching, door opening and closing operations of the train, ensuring the safety and efficiency of train operation.
