Counters

Precision instruments used to track the frequency of events or the number of items passing through a production line, providing critical data for batching and inventory management.

Red Lion | CUB® & C48 Series

Red Lion is the “industry standard” for digital panel meters and counters in North America. Their CUB series is famous for its compact size and high-visibility displays. They are sourced when a facility needs a reliable, “set-and-forget” counter that can handle high-speed inputs from proximity sensors or encoders.

CUB5

Model Number: CUB5B000

8-digit LCD with red/green backlight; 20 kHz count speed; optional setpoint relay cards.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • Field-installable plug-in cards allow you to add RS232/485 communication or relay outputs at any time.

  • Can act as two separate counters in one unit, each with its own scaling and decimal point settings.

  • The backlight can be programmed to change from green to red when a specific count (setpoint) is reached.

C48

Model Number: C48CS103

1/16 DIN size; 2-line display; programmable for batching and totalizing; NEMA 4X/IP65.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • Supports quadrature inputs (up to 4x resolution) for high-accuracy position or length counting.

  • Uses E2PROM to retain all count values and programming even during a total power failure without needing a battery.

  • Can provide a scaled pulse train to a PLC or another counter, acting as a signal conditioner.

Kübler | Codix Series

Germany-based Kübler is the European leader in counting and process technology. Their Codix series is praised for its “plain text” programming and large, easy-to-read LED digits. They are the primary choice for global OEMs requiring high-speed counting (up to 60 kHz) and robust environmental protection.

Codix 130

Model Number: 6.130.012.852

Self-powered (8-year battery); no external power needed; 8-digit LCD; NPN/PNP/High-voltage inputs.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • Ideal for retrofitting onto existing machines where running new power lines is difficult; operates entirely on internal lithium batteries.

  • Features robust, industrial screw terminals for secure wiring, unlike the “clip” connectors found on cheaper units.

  • Designed for a service life of over 10 years in harsh conditions, with IP65 front-side protection.

Codix 540

Model Number: 6.540.012.0A0

6-digit high-brightness LED (14mm high); 60 kHz count rate; AC or DC supply options.

Key Technical Specifications:

  • Detects incoming pulses just 16ms after power-up, ensuring no counts are lost during simultaneous motor starts.

  • Equipped with large, tactile keys designed to be operated by workers wearing industrial safety gloves.

  • The AC version provides a 24V DC output to power external proximity or photoelectric sensors directly.
