Description

The Honeywell 8C-PCNT02 is a digital counter module used in industrial automation applications. It’s designed to manage and process counting signals, typically from sensors or pulse-generating devices.

Product Name:

Honeywell 8C-PCNT02 Digital Counter Module

Product Description:

The Honeywell 8C-PCNT02 module is designed to receive pulse input signals and perform counting operations in real-time. It typically interfaces with control systems like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) or Distributed Control Systems (DCS), enabling automation systems to monitor events, cycles, or throughput. The counter module may be used in applications that require pulse accumulation, event detection, and totalization, such as machine counting, flow measurement, or process monitoring.

This module is part of Honeywell’s family of industrial controllers and input/output (I/O) systems, and it is engineered for high reliability, precision, and ease of integration with Honeywell’s automation and control systems.
