Product Description:

The MP100S00 is an electronic counter/controller produced by Danaher for the Timers and Controllers series. Intended for industrial automation panels, it monitors high-speed sensor or encoder pulses, evaluates counts against stored setpoints, and energizes solid-state outputs to drive downstream devices. By integrating counting and timing functions in one enclosure, it replaces discrete tachometers and relay logic on packaging lines, conveyor systems, and assembly equipment.

Two differential signal inputs allow the unit to register pulses at up to 40 kHz, so fine-resolution encoders are tracked without loss. Its memory provides a counting range of 6 decades with polarity handling, supporting forward and reverse counts. External reset or control commands must persist for at least 25 ms to be recognized, while internal comparison operations use a 320 µs reference pulse for timing integrity. Process values appear on a red LED display with characters measuring 0.6 in tall, providing clear visibility through protective windows. For sequencing, the controller offers 4 independent preset limits that can energize the NPN transistor outputs. Power consumption for the electronics and display remains within a 20 VA budget, minimizing heat inside the enclosure.

An auxiliary supply rail provides 12 VDC at up to 120 mA, powering proximity switches or photoelectric sensors directly from the counter. Actuation outputs are rated for 28 VDC at a 100 mA sink current, allowing direct connection to standard PLC input cards. The molded bezel carries a NEMA 4 rating, preventing dust ingress and resisting washdown fluids common in food or beverage plants. Data exchange with supervisory systems occurs through an RS-422 ASCII serial interface, providing noise-resistant communication over long distances. The assembly weighs 2.5 lb (1.13 kg), so it mounts securely in standard panel cutouts without additional support hardware.
