Description
The 186729C-01 FP-CTR-502 8 Channel Counter Input Module from National Instruments provides functionality without disrupting FieldPoint bank activity. With safety mechanisms to disable outputs in case of a short circuit, this module ensures proper protection for connected devices.
186729C-01 FP-CTR-502 8 Channel Counter Input Module (Not for New Design) National Instruments FP-CTR-502 Counter Module, also known as Part Number: 777518-502, is designed to be mounted on a FieldPoint backplane to provide functionality to the module without disrupting the activity of the FieldPoint bank. It is important to note that when connecting the FP-CTR-502 output to a remotely controlled sourcing-input device, the voltage applied to the VOUT terminal by the external device should not exceed the voltage level of the power supply connected to the FP-CTR-502. In the event of a short circuit on an output channel, the module will disable the output. Additionally, if an output that is in the ON state is disabled by the safety mechanism, the status indicator for that channel will remain lit but the output transistor will be turned off. The FP-CTR-502 features input channels and one output channel to generate a consistent pulse train with adjustable duty cycle and period. With safety isolation resistance between the I/O channels and the inter-module communication bus, the NI FP-CTR-502 Counter Module ensures proper protection. It is important to ensure that any devices or circuits connected to the module are adequately insulated to prevent contact with hazardous potential. The module is equipped with two green status LEDs, POWER and READY, which light up when the module is installed on a terminal base or backplane and power is applied, indicating its presence to the system module.

Shipping Options:
Next Day Air Early AM - This service is the fastest overnight delivery option available. For most locations the package will be guaranteed by 8:30AM.
Next Day Air – This service guarantees delivery by 10:30AM and is the most frequently used option for overnight shipments.
Next Day Air Saver – This cost saving overnight alternative guarantees delivery by 3PM the next day.
2nd Day Air – For domestic shipments that would take 3-5 days if shipped via Ground, sometimes having the order in 2 days is a great way to go
Ground – Ground is the most inexpensive shipping option provided. Please ask if we are doing a “free domestic ground” shipping promotion on your order. We often provide free ground shipping on larger orders.
Emergency Courier – At times we can help work with a courier service to get the part to your facility during downtimes scenarios. We prefer that the customer sets up the courier but we can be there to make sure the product is handed off to the driver. Please give us a call to see if this is an option on your order.
Please Note: Products listed as “ships today” can ship same-day if an order is placed before 4PM. For larger drives and motors we ask that notification for same-day shipments be provided by 2PM at the latest. For any products listed as “ships in 3-5 days”, please give us a call to see if this can be expedited.
Question:
What is the function of the National Instruments FP-CTR-502 Counter Module?
Answer:
The National Instruments FP-CTR-502 Counter Module is designed to be mounted on a FieldPoint backplane and provides counter input functionality without disrupting the activity of the FieldPoint bank.
Question:
What are the safety features of the NI FP-CTR-502?
Answer:
The safety features of the NI FP-CTR-502 include isolation resistance between the I/O channels and the inter-module communication bus for proper protection and a safety mechanism that disables an output in the event of a short circuit.
Question:
What should the voltage applied to the VOUT terminal not exceed?
Answer:
The voltage applied to the VOUT terminal by an externally controlled sourcing-input device should not exceed the voltage level of the power supply connected to the FP-CTR-502.
Question:
How can one determine if the FP-CTR-502 is receiving power and is ready to operate?
Answer:
The module is equipped with two green status LEDs, POWER, and READY, which light up when the module is installed on a terminal base or backplane and power is applied, indicating that it is ready to operate.
Question:
What is noted about the FP-CTR-502's design status?
Answer:
It is noted that the FP-CTR-502 is 'Not for New Design', meaning it may be approaching the end of its lifecycle or may not be recommended for use in new projects.
