Omron H7CX-AWSD1-N H7CX Multifunction Counter/Tachometer

Description

Designed for precise process monitoring and control, the Omron H7CX-AWSD1-N is a highly versatile, ultra-compact multifunction digital counter and digital tachometer engineered for industrial automation environments. This 6-digit, panel-mount instrument integrates multiple operational modes—including preset counter, batch counter, dual counter, and tachometer functionality—into a single standardized unit. The device features factory-configured 2-stage setting control, a highly legible negative transmissive LCD display with dynamic color-change status backlighting, and robust screw terminals for secure field wiring. Operating on a low-voltage AC/DC power supply, it offers high-speed input response capabilities and reliable solid-state transistor outputs to handle fast switching applications seamlessly.

Features

• Multifunctional Operation: Seamlessly configurable as a 1-stage counter, 2-stage counter, total preset counter, batch counter, dual counter, or tachometer.
• 2-Stage Control: Equipped with dual-stage output settings to manage multi-step process thresholds and pre-warn indicators.
• High-Contrast Display: Features a 6-digit negative transmissive LCD with configurable color changing (Red, Green, Orange) to reflect output status.
• Flexible Input Modes: Supports both NPN and PNP inputs with wide input frequency ranges to match various sensor types.
• Industrial Protection: IP66 NEMA 4X equivalent front panel protection ensures dust and water resistance in harsh plant environments.
• Flexible Power Compatibility: Accepts low-voltage inputs including 12 to 24 VDC and 24 VAC at 50/60 Hz.

Applications

• Packaging and Bottling: Precise batch counting, high-speed container monitoring, and packaging line control.
• Material Processing: Cut-to-length systems, winding machines, and precise sheet metal stamping counts.
• Conveyor and Sorting Systems: Real-time part tracking and sorting gate activation.
• Rotational Diagnostics: Motor, pump, and turbine RPM monitoring using the integrated tachometer modes.

Installation Guidelines

• Panel Cutout: Prepare a standard 45 x 45 mm square panel cutout for mounting the 1/16 DIN housing. Use the supplied mounting bracket to secure the unit from the rear.
• Wiring Safety: Ensure all power is disconnected before connecting the screw terminals. Use M3.5 self-rising screws and crimp terminals suitable for the wire gauge.
• Sensor Input Routing: Route input signal lines (from proximity sensors, encoders, or limit switches) separately from high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference.
• Environmental Protection: To maintain the IP66 water-resistant rating on the front panel, ensure the waterproof packing gasket is properly seated before inserting the unit into the panel.
