Product Description:

The C342-3462 timer and controller, from the Danaher Timers and Controllers lineup, shows up when panel space is tight but reliable control is required. This model uses a 1/32 DIN size (24 x 48 mm), balancing small footprint with a display big enough to check at a distance. A bright 8-digit LCD display stretches across the front panel, with 7.0 mm digit height making readout simple in busy areas. The 12-24 VDC power supply covers the most common setups for industrial lines, adding flexibility if the system already juggles different voltages. Input types can be toggled between NPN or PNP, all depending on other equipment already running nearby.

A timer for this sort of environment benefits from an IEC IP65 panel rating — panels take a beating, either from stray liquids or dust in the air, so sealing helps keep the board inside safe. For operators who need accuracy, this device reaches up to 7.5 kHz input frequency, especially important with high-speed machines where missing a single beat can mess up the entire run. There’s also a 30 Hz max contact closure input for setups making more use of slower relay signals. With nonvolatile RAM on hand, counts and times hang around even if the power gets knocked out by mistake. With panel mounting, everything stays lined up and solid, so operators won’t end up with a crooked controller halfway into a shift.

With all the electronics protected up front, there’s less chance of anything slipping past or getting shorted. Compact gear like this lives in places where space doesn't go to waste; most lines prefer 1/32 DIN for this sort of job. The C342-3462 doesn’t get complicated on settings, keeping the controls straightforward so operators won’t deal with complicated adjustments on the fly. Between the flexible inputs and simple wiring, most installations don’t slow down.
