Product Introduction

Model Interpretation

• 45C = Family code for Reliance Electric Shark XL series I/O modules.

• 982 = High‑speed counter module; “9” denotes special function I/O, “82” denotes 1‑channel 10 kHz counter with 4 presets and 4 transistor outputs.

• No suffix indicates standard revision; compatible with all Shark XL racks.

Technical Parameters

• Inputs: 1 pulse/tachometer/encoder channel (single‑ended or quadrature).

• Max input frequency: 10 kHz.

• Input voltage logic: ON = 0–2 VDC; OFF = 5–12 VDC.

• Input impedance: 10 kΩ.

• Outputs: 4 open‑collector transistor outputs, 10–30 VDC, max 1 A per channel.

• Output delay: ≤1 ms (ON→OFF, OFF→ON).

• Isolation: Opto‑isolated inputs/outputs; 500 VDC dielectric strength (1 minute) between field and logic.

• Presets: 4 software‑configurable count presets.

• Indicators: Power LED, input pulse LED, 4 output status LEDs.

• Operating temperature: -20 °C to +60 °C.

• Storage temperature: -40 °C to +85 °C.

• Humidity: 0–95% RH, non‑condensing.

• Protection class: IP20 (cabinet use).

• Mounting: Shark XL / 45C‑series DIN rail.

• Certification: UL, CE, CSA.

Interface and Communication Configuration

• Backplane connection: Plug‑in to Shark XL rack backplane for power and logic.

• Field wiring: Front‑panel screw terminals for pulse input (A/B/Z for quadrature), common, and 4 transistor outputs.

• Communication: Backplane bus only; no external serial/network ports.

• Compatibility: Shark XL PLC systems; 45C‑series I/O rail (up to 8 modules per rail).

Core Functions

• High‑speed pulse counting (up to 10 kHz) for encoders, tachometers, and flow meters.

• Quadrature decoding for directional position/speed tracking.

• 4 software presets for automatic output triggering at predefined counts.

• Opto‑isolation protects PLC from electrical noise and voltage spikes.

• Transistor outputs drive low‑voltage DC loads (solenoids, relays, indicators).

• LED status enables real‑time diagnostics for input pulses and output states.

Application Scenarios

• Motion control: Conveyor speed monitoring, motor encoder feedback, position limiting.

• Process control: Pulse‑based flow totalization, batch counting, high‑speed event logging.

• Machine tools: Spindle speed monitoring, axis position verification, preset‑based tool changes.

• Packaging: Product counting, cut‑to‑length control, label positioning.

Operation and Maintenance Instructions

• Install on a Shark XL DIN rail and ensure full backplane engagement before powering on.

• Wire pulse/encoder inputs (single‑ended or quadrature) and transistor outputs per terminal diagram.

• Verify input voltage levels (0–2 VDC ON, 5–12 VDC OFF) and output load ratings.

• During operation, monitor LEDs: Power ON, pulse LED flashes with input, output LEDs reflect status.

• Configure presets via PLC software for automatic output activation at target counts.

• Keep the module clean and well‑ventilated to prevent overheating.

• Disconnect system power before removal, inspection, or replacement.

• Do not disassemble internal components; replace the entire module if a permanent fault occurs.

• The unit is discontinued by Reliance Electric; use surplus or refurbished units for replacement.
