Introduction
Count controls are counters that provide output signal(s) at
preset count value(s). Typical applications include cut-to-
length, batching, filling, mixing and dispensing. Available
from Eaton are a variety of count controls in different sizes,
display types and feature sets.
Application Example
The illustration shows a simple cut-to-length application.
The roll of paper is measured using a measuring wheel and
rotary contactor (or encoder). Once the desired length is
reached, an output signal may be directed to a shear for
activation. Following the cut-off, the count control will reset
to zero and begin measurement of the next piece. Options
such as batch counting, where the number of cut pieces is
counted, are also typical of this application.
