Equipped with two independent 32-bit counter channels, this field-level module is engineered for decentralized automation tasks requiring precise position, frequency, or pulse detection. Its IP67-rated construction allows for direct mounting on machinery, eliminating the need for protective control cabinets and minimizing field-wiring runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis module features two counter inputs capable of processing signal frequencies up to 100 kHz, alongside two auxiliary gate inputs and two up\/down direction switches. Built-in industrial M12 screw-type connectors ensure secure, vibration-resistant connections for sensors and actuator signals, while the integrated B-coded M12 T-connector facilitates straightforward PROFIBUS network daisy-chaining without external splitters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo high-speed 32-bit counter channels supporting
