Deck 11: Count Control

Question 1

A typical electromechanical counter is generally available with digital set and readout dials.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

In some counters, the output contacts can be adjusted to perform in a specific manner.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

When the count motor has received the same number of count impulses as set on the dial, the contacts go the ____ condition.

A) counting
B) synchronous
C) counted-out
D) reset

Answer 3

C

Question 4

The electromechanical counter requires a minimum of approximately ____ seconds OFF time between input impulses to reset.

A) 0.5
B) 0.75
C) 2
D) 5

Question 5

The solid-state counter uses CMOS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) integrated circuits for the ___ function.

A) energizing
B) deenergizing
C) counting
D) display

Question 6

When line voltage is applied to the count ____________________, incoming count pulses are not counted.

Question 7

In a typical solid-state counter, three counting modes can be programmed: count directional, ____________________, and quadrature.

Question 8

When the stepping motor is deenergized, the contacts return to the reset condition.

Question 9

The electromechanical control counter is similar to the electromechanical reset timer, except that the synchronous motor of the timer is replaced by a stepping motor. The stepping motor advances one step each time it is ____________________.
