Product features -Flexible I/O/High-Speed Counter-

    Fast and stable I/O response

    High-speed response is realized with the hardware performance asynchronous to the CPU and control bus.

    • LD40PD01 is equipped with an external I/O interface and FPGA *1. This feature enables LD40PD01 to perform high-speed control, without being restricted by the CPU scan time and control bus performance. Dedicated configuration tool is also available to pre-check the product operation, further reducing the startup time.
    • I/O response is stable as its processing speed only fluctuates in nanoseconds.
    • *1.Abbreviation of Field Programmable Gate Array. FPGA is an LSI that can be programmed after the manufacture.

    Easy FPGA setup with dedicated configuration tool <sup>*2 </sup>

    The design process associated with FPGA (HDL programming, logic synthesis, timing analysis) is no longer required, drastically reducing the development time. The configuration tool is also useful to pre-check the product operation, further reducing the startup time.

    Supporting versatile applications

    The flexible high-speed I/O control module realizes a wide range of controls including speed measurement, adjusted pulse output, ratio setting/distributed output, PWM control, and cam switch control.

    Pulse adjustment

    • ON/OFF timings are finely adjusted down to 25 ns by using trigger inputs.
    • Fluctuation of ON/OFF operation is minimized down to nanoseconds, enabling highly precise control.

    Speed measurement

    • In addition to ON and OFF width, measurement in different conditions is possible, such as ON timing difference between sensors.
    • The measurement increment of minimum 25 ns realizes highly accurate measurement.

    Delay output

    • Output timing delays are adjusted for each point, minimizing output variations.
