Allen-Bradley 1746-HSCE High-Speed Counter Module

Allen-Bradley 1746-HSCE High-Speed Counter Module is a single-channel counter/encoder card for the SLC 500 family. It accepts inputs from incremental encoders and delivers high-speed counting with the accumulated value written into the PLC input image for real-time feedback and control. The module plugs into an SLC 500 I/O rack backplane and is compatible with SLC 500 processors, with the exception of the 1747-ASB Remote I/O Adapter Module. This configuration makes it a dedicated solution for applications requiring fast, reliable pulse counting and encoder decoding in compact automation layouts. Typical uses include monitoring conveyor speed, counting parts on production lines, and providing precise position or rate feedback for automated indexing or batching tasks. The 1746-HSCE is the standard one-channel option for high-speed counter capability within the SLC 500 family and is designed to operate with RSLogix 500 software.
