It accepts encoder inputs in open collector or differential line driver format (the latter wired to the 5 V terminal). Maximum count rate hits 50 kHz in 1-phase-1-input mode, and with 2-phase inputs you get 50 kHz at 1x multiplication, 25 kHz at 2x, and 12.5 kHz at 4x. Power is drawn from the PLC backplane at DC 5 V 90 mA — no external supply needed, but it does occupy 8 I/O points in the PLC's address map.","metaTitle":"Mitsubishi FX2N-1HC High-Speed Counter, 50 kHz, EOL","metaDescription":"Mitsubishi FX2N-1HC high-speed counter block. 50 kHz max response, 1 channel, EOL phase.
