Allen-Bradley 1769-HSC | High-Speed Counter/Encoder Module – Compact I/O Series

Overview

The Allen-Bradley 1769-HSC is a high-speed counter (HSC) module for CompactLogix and MicroLogix 1500 systems, designed to handle rapid pulse counting and encoder feedback. It features two counter channels, each supporting quadrature encoder inputs, with the ability to count up to 1 MHz.

Ideal for applications requiring precise position tracking, pulse monitoring, or frequency measurement, the 1769-HSC enables real-time control of motion, flow, and speed.
