The TM PosInput 1 counting and position detection module detects fast signals with high frequencies and returns the counter reading or position and the current speed to the controller. The counter control ensures a precise counter result and rapid response in the system via integrated digital input and output signals. Comprehensive parameterization options provide optimum adaptation to the task at hand and reduce control load.

The module supports position recording with SSI absolute-value encoders with a frame length of 10 to 40 bits. Max. 31 of these bits are position information, the other bits are sensor status information. Single-turn and multi-turn sensors are supported at a clock frequency up to 2 MHz.
