High-Speed I/O Modules
High-speed I/O modules are PLC expansion modules that count or generate high-frequency pulse signals that standard digital modules cannot capture. The high-speed input side is used to read encoder and counter pulses for position, length and speed measurement, while the high-speed output side is used to give pulse commands to stepper and servo drives. The category includes, from the Delta Electronics AX-5 series, the AX-502HC10-0A 2-channel 500 kHz high-speed input module and the AX-502PU01-0A 2-channel 500 kHz high-speed output module. Select the channel count and maximum pulse frequency according to the application, the sink or source signal structure according to the circuit of the encoder or drive, and the module family according to your PLC. Standard digital I/O modules are not a substitute for these modules; pulses at the kHz level cannot be tracked completely by the PLC scan cycle.
