Duty cycle is a measure of ON or OFF period as a percentage of total period. Duty cycle is determined by averaging an integral number of periods over a gate time which is selectable from 10 ms to 199.99 s. The same signal is applied to Channels A and B. The meter divides the average pulse width t by the period P between pulses and expresses the ratio t/P in percent. A resolution of 1%, 0.1% or 0.01% is selectable. By selecting leading or falling pulse edges, ON or OFF duty cycle can be displayed.Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a transducer output format where the measured information is provided as duty cycle applied to a constant frequeny, such as 120 Hz. As for duty cycle, the meter divides the average pulse width by the period between pulses over a gate time which is selectable from 10 ms to 199.99 s. It then scales this ratio mathematically to display this ratio in engineering units, such as relative humidity (RH).
The Laureate duty cycle & pulse width modulation meter uses an Extended counter main board and the FR dual-channel signal conditioner board, which accepts signals from 12 mV to 250 Vac, inputs from proximity switches with a PNP or NPN output, TTL or CMOS logic, and contact closures. Jumper selections provide optimum operation for different sensor types and noise conditions. A built-in isolated 5, 10, or 24 Vdc excitation supply can power proximity switches and other sensors.
Designed for system use. Optional plug-in boards for communications and control include Ethernet and other serial communication boards, dual or quad relay boards, and anisolated analog output board. Laureates may be powered from 85-264 Vac or optionally from 12-32 Vac or 10-48 Vdc. The display is available with red or green LEDs. The 1/8 DIN case meets NEMA 4X (IP65) specifications from the front when panel mounted. Any setup functions and front panel keys can be locked out for simplified usage and security. All power and signal connections are via UL / VDE / CSA rated screw clamp plugs.

Applications
| Duty Cycle & Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Modes | |
|---|---|
|
In duty cycle mode, the meter displays ON or OFF time in percent from 0% to 100% of period for repetitive pulse trains. In the illustration, duty cycle in percent is 100 x t/P.In pulse width modulation (PWM) mode, the meter also determines the duty cycle ratio, but then scales this ratio for display in engineering units. |
| Monitoring Laser OperationPM and Speed | |
|
Laureate counters can be programmed to display the duty cycle of a laser, the number of pulses, elapsed time, the number of pulses, the average pulse width in µs, and total energy applied. This data can be transmitted digitally via RS485 or Ethernet. |
