• This application shows how to measure and calculate length of rolled film by the number of generated pulse and roll diameter from a rotary encoder. The rotary encoder is connected to a rolling shaft on a film production line.
• The TM-4370 Reversible Counter can compensate the number of generated pulse so that an appropriate unit can be set up on a display.
• Connecting it to the PLC by using comparator output enables output of command signal to cut a film or to send an alert to a signal tower.
• Continuous recording can be performed via analog output signal to see fluctuation of rolling up film length.
• Connecting the TM-4370 to a PC via RS-232C interface enables storing the measured data and so on.
