Operating directly in harsh industrial environments without a protective control cabinet, this device integrates two 32-bit high-speed counter channels capable of processing input frequencies up to 100 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe module incorporates two counter inputs, two gate inputs, and two up\/down direction switches. This configuration allows flexible pulse processing, direction detection, and counting gate control. Field signals are connected via standard M12 screw-type connectors, while the integrated sensor supply provides short-circuit protected power directly to the connected encoders or proximity sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommunication with the higher-level controller is established using Modbus RTU or ASCII protocols over an RS485 physical interface. Device configuration, including address and baud rate selection, can be performed using local address selection switches or the KS2000 commissioning software. The physical design features a compact polyamide housing with IP65, IP66, and IP67 protection ratings, enabling direct on-machine mounting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual-channel high-speed counting with 32-bit counter depth per channel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n
