Eaton Ambassador Counter Complete Guide

Rate output: Act when the rate reaches the set point A1 or A2.

Output operation mode:

NORMAL: Connected when receiving a pick up signal, disconnected when receiving a release signal.

REVERSE: opposite to NORMAL.

LATCHED: When receiving a pick up signal, turn on and hold until receiving a release signal.

PULSED: It is turned on when receiving a pick up signal and automatically disconnected after the programmed pulse time.

Conduction delay time: A delay of 0.00 to 99.99 seconds can be set.

Preset event actions: For count outputs, no action (NA), pick up (PU), or release (DO) can be selected for each preset (P1-P4), batch preset (PB), output control event (OCTL1/2), and reset count event (RS C).

Rate alarm action: For rate output, A1 HI, A1 LO, A2 HI, A2 LO can be selected, as well as output continuous mode (Disabled, FOLLOW, LATCHED, PULSED).

4.3.5 Display Screen Selection

BCH&TXT (Batch Count+Text)

TOT&TXT (accumulator+text)

CNT&Pc (main count+current preset)

CNT&P1/P2/P3/P4 (main count+preset 1/2/3/4)

BCH&Pb (Batch Count+Batch Preset)

CNT&RATE (Main Count+Rate)

RATE&A1/A2 (Rate+Alarm Setpoint 1/2)

C SCALER (Counting scaling factor)

C DEC PT (counting decimal points)

4.3.6 Custom Text

Customizable display text of up to 8 characters for main count, rate, batch count, and accumulator, with options including letters A-Z, numbers 0-9, spaces, commas, dashes, decimal points, or slashes.

4.3.7 Serial Communication Configuration

ID Number: Assign a unique two digit ID (00-99) to each counter.

Baud rate: selectable from 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19200.

Parity check: None, Odd check, Even check.

Transmission delay: 2 ms or 100 ms.

Host/printer mode: Select HOST PORT (respond to host commands) or PRINTER PORT (transfer when printing input).

4.3.8 Serial Output List

You can choose which data to send when printing input or host commands: count, batch count, accumulator, rate, etc P1-P4、PB、A1、A2、C SCALER、C DEC PT。

4.3.9 Other Options

Reset button function: It can be disabled or set to edge/level reset main counter, batch counter, accumulator, display counter, or all counters.

Printing key function: enabled or disabled.

Load default values: You can load default programs separately (restoring all program items to factory settings) and default running data (resetting all counters and presets to zero).

Foot/inch control special function

Models 57601-415 (green display) and 57601-465 (red display) are designed specifically for foot/inch applications and have the following features:

5.1 Main counter display

The main counter displays six digits: the first four digits show feet, the last two digits show inches, and the middle is separated by a fixed decimal point. Internal counting is measured in inches and converted to display in feet and inches. The counter overflows to zero at 120000 counts and overflows to 119999 at 0.

5.2 Counting Presets

The preset values are also entered in feet and inches, with a range of 0000-9999 feet and 00-11 inches. Programmable presets include P1, P2, P3, and warning alerts (Pw). There is a fixed zero preset used to reset to the preset number mode and reset to the overload value of zero mode, which cannot be changed.

The warning value must not exceed the final preset (Pf). The final preset can be P1, P2, or P3. The preset values do not need to be arranged in numerical order, and different presets can be set to the same value.

5.3 Rate meter

The foot/inch model does not have a speedometer function, so there is no speed alarm.

5.4 Counting scaling factor

The scaling factor value must be the number of inches represented by each pulse. For example, when using a 300 PPR encoder and a 12 inch circumference measuring wheel, the scaling factor is 12/300=0.0400.

5.5 Pre warning Tracking

The warning value will automatically track the final preset value. When a new final preset is entered, the warning value will change at the same interval. For example, if the warning is set to 10.00 and the final preset is set to 250.00, the warning will occur at 240.00. If the final preset is changed to 300.00, the warning will automatically change to occur at 290.00.

5.6 Error messages

When the warning value is greater than the final preset value, an error message "ERROR Pw>Pf" will be displayed.

Operation mode

6.1 Operation Mode Navigation

In operation mode, the operator can use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through all screens set to "display". Press the SELECT key to edit the preset value currently displayed (if allowed). When editing presets, use the SELECT key to move the flashing digits, use the up/down arrow keys to change the values, and press the ENTER key to save.

6.2 Reset Counter

According to the setting of program option 80, the operator can reset the counter using the RST/CLR keys. Note: The availability of the reset function depends on the programming configuration.
