What It Does
- BCD Conversion: Converts BCD information from the DC output ports of a programmable logic controller (PLC) or other industrial controller into human-readable seven-segment digital displays.
- Voltage Rating: The
-24 designation indicates it operates on a 24-volt DC power and signal standard (part of the Model 4161 series which also included 5V and 15V options). - Configurable Interface: On-board PCB (printed circuit board) switches allow technicians to adjust and interface with most programmable controllers. Settings typically include:
- "0" true data levels
- "0" true or "1" true strobe levels
- Strobing of all digits or individual digits
- Decimal & Test Features: The decimal point can be selected via the rear connector and latched with a D.P. strobe line, and a lamp test can also be executed.
