Counters / Timers – Devices for precise time and quantity control

Counters / timers are indispensable devices in industrial control and automation systems. They help monitor quantities, operating cycles, and machine operating time, thereby improving production accuracy and efficiency.

What are counters / timers?

• Counters are used to record pulse counts, product quantities, or operating cycles.

• Timers are used to control on/off timing, time delays, or cycle repetition based on preset parameters.
  These two functions can be integrated into a single device, offering easy installation and operation in control panels.

Common types of counters / timers

Currently, counters / timers are available in various designs, including:

• Numeric counters and pulse counters

• ON-delay and OFF-delay timers

• Combined counter–timer units

• Digital timers

• Panel-mounted or DIN-rail-mounted counters
  Each type meets different control requirements in practical applications.

Key advantages of counters / timers

Using high-quality counters / timers offers numerous benefits:

• High accuracy and stable operation

• Flexible settings and easy operation

• Compact design for space efficiency

• Increased system automation

• Reduced errors and optimized processes

Practical applications of counters / timers

Counters / timers are widely used in:

• Automated production lines

• Packaging, stamping, and cutting machines
