100 Hz counter input - What is the pulse per Min maximum?

Hello,

 

I have a Micro 1400 with 6 100 Hz pulse counter inputs.

 

I have flowmeters that produce 0-250,000 ppm

 

If 100 Hz means 100 pulses/sec (6k ppm), then I need to do something about the flowmeter, like spec a new one? Or am I missing something?

 

Many Thanks,

 

Tim

This one is so good … we couldn't think of a title good enough!

Tim, just a little confusion in your considerations... :smileywink:

 

Micrologix 1400 has up to 6 High Speed Counter, right, but the frequency is 100 Khz !

 

Hope this helps…

Yes, 100 khz! Looks like that is 6 million pulses per minute! so my 250,000 is fine I guess!

 

Thanks,
