    Digital Counter Up/Down Input Modes

    Mode A: Up (addition)

    INA counts up. INB is GATE function. When INB is high level (or shorted with +12V), INA input is forbidden.

    Digital counter up down mode A

    Mode B: Up/down (addition or subtraction)

    INA counts up. INB is a count-down control function. When INB is high level, INA turns count-up into count-down.

    Digital counter up down mode B

    Mode C: Up/down (addition and subtraction)

    INA counts up, INB counts down.

    Digital counter up down mode C

    Mode D: Up/down (for encoder)

    INA signal leads INB signal (count-up). INA signal lags INB signal (count-down). It is often used for encoder or grating input.

    FAQs

    Q1: What is a digital counter?

    A1: Counting is one of the simplest and most basic operations. In digital logic and computing, a counter is the logic circuit that implements this operation. In digital systems, a counter mainly counts the number of pulses for measurement, counting, control, and other functions. It also has a frequency division function. A digital counter consists of a basic counting unit and some control gates. The counting unit consists of a series of various flip-flops with the function of storing information. These flip-flops include RS flip-flops, T flip-flops, D flip-flops and JK flip-flops. Counters are widely used in digital systems. For example, in the controller of an electronic computer, the next instruction is taken out sequentially by counting the instruction address. The operation unit records the number of additions and subtractions when multiplication and division operations are performed. A counter can be used to indicate the operating status of a product. In general, it is mainly used to indicate how many copies of the product have been folded and sorted. Its main indicator lies in the number of bits of the counter, commonly 3 and 4 bits. Obviously, a 3-digit counter can display up to 999 and a 4-digit counter can display up to 9999.

    Q2: How to choose a digital counter?

    A2: Choosing a digital counter involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your specific needs and requirements. Here are some key considerations to help you make an informed decision:

    1. The choice of the built-in crystal oscillator.
    2. The resolution of the digital counter.
    3. Large screen touch design.
    4. The counter has more measurement functions.
    5. Internal crystal oscillator calibration function.
    6. The communication interface of the counter should be as many as possible.
    7. Wide measuring range

    Q3: What are the Types of Counters?

    A3: Counters are electronic devices used to count occurrences of input signals or events. They come in various types, each designed for specific counting applications. Here are some common types of counters:

    • According to whether the flip-flops in the counter are flipped at the same time, the counter can be divided into two types: synchronous counter and asynchronous counter.
    • According to the increase and decrease of numbers in the counting process, the counters can be divided into addition counters, subtraction counters, and reversible counters. It is an up counter that keeps increasing with the clock signal, and a down counter that keeps decreasing. A counter that can be incremented or decremented is called a reversible counter.

    The most commonly used is the first one because it allows people to know at a glance what triggering method this counter is so that designers can design circuits.

    Tips: Digital counter applications in traffic signal control

    Digital counter is widely used to control traffic lights, it can be used to count pulses, and then control traffic lights regularly, which can realize a simple, stable and reliable timing control function.

    Performs well
    The digital counter performs well, counts up/down with no problem, and can easily switch between quantity, batch, and length counting modes. The 8-bit parameters make it very flexible and can be used for various counting tasks, which is very useful for me.

    Great digital counter at a great price
    I installed this 8 digit counter on 2 of my senior knitting machines. The digital counter works great. I did test the unit out and it worked great.
