1.5 NPN or PNP INPUTS CONFIGURATION
The “hold” and “reset” inputs can be used with “npn” or “pnp” polarity.
“npn” input: short-circuit JP7 and program the menu item “nInP”=nPn
“pnp” input: short-circuit JP14 and program the menu item “nInP”=PnP
The instruments are delivered with NPN inputs.

2.2 "nUnEr" and “dEnon” FUNCTION (multiplying factor)
It is possible to programme a correction factor, which multiplies or divides the
number pulses received at the input, visualizing them as you desire. The two menu
items that you have to programme mean:
nUnEr
display readout = ______________ * CoEnC * Input pulses
dEnon
For a reading without correction factor is sufficient to set up nUnEr = dEnon, instead
to add corrective constant is necessary to set up “nUnEr” and “dEnon” to get the
desired value.
As described in “CoEnC function” paragraph, it is possible to obtain multiplying
factors using the reading of the encoder’s edges (see paragraph).
Now is shown an applicative example; for the set up instruction see Table 3.
119 pulses/revolution encoder and it is requested a visualisation of 100
digits/revolution display readout
K = _________________
input pulses
Programme “100” at the “nUnEr” item and 119 at the “dEnon” item ( CoEnC = F1).

2.5 “CoEnC” FUNCTION (encoder counting)
The “CoEnC” function gives you the possibility to get readings with major
resolutions using as much as possible the encoder resources.
Infact the bi-directional encoder produces two waves dephased of 90. The reading
of an edge every four allows to visualize the encoder revolution pulses: this function
is obtained with the set up of “CoEnC” = F1 (fig.C). By the “CoEn” set up it is
possible to read two or four edges, getting double or quadruple readings about the
encoder revolution pulses. To double the reading you have to set up “CoEnC” = F2
(fig. B), while to quadruple you have to set up “CoEnC” = F4 (fig. A). See Table 4 to
set up this function.

ME3025_13 03/21 19
2.6 “ PrESEt” FUNCTION (preset)
The “PrESEt” function on the MPCIB396 P6 instrument allows to set up a preset, i.e.
a number which appears every time that the instrument is zeroed.
The “PrESEt” function works with any number between –999999 and +999999 (to
set up the negative sign see “SET UP” paragraph). To set the visualization at the
“PrESEt” value, it is sufficient to press the reset front key (if enabled), or the
terminal reset. To modify this function see Table 4.
2.7 DEFAULT PARAMETERS (dEF)
Some wrong values in menu programming function can cause the “ERR” item to
appear. To reset to factory default parameters you can use the “dEF” function, which
sets up all the programmation parameters at the factory value, eliminating all the
error situation (look the following table).
BE CAREFUL: all previous programmed values will be lost.

2.8 TOTAL COUNTING FUNCTION
By the key it is possible to visualize the total counting on the display. The total
counting is the sum of all the partial counting memorized after a reset. The total
count can be shown on display divided by the value programmed in the “dIUSOn”
menu item. The “In” led switching on means that the display is visualizing the total
counting. To zero this counting it is necessary to put “on” at the “rEStot” menu item

MPCIB 396 P6 mect s.r.l.
ME3025_13 03/21 20
or shorting to ground the terminal 18 or 19 if programmed to this function (see
paragraph “TERMINALS 18 AND 19 CONFIGURATION”). The key can be
disabled setting “OFF” at the “Abtrt” menu item (see “Front key enabling”
paragraph).
2.9 MONODIRECTIONAL PULSE COUNTER FUNCTIONING
Selecting from the programming menu the “tYPE” = “CIn” item, the instrument
works as monodirectional pulse counter. The counting input is terminal 23, while the
second input terminal 21 can be used to select the counting direction (shortcircuited
input at V+ -terminal 17- = Up counting; shortcircuited input at GND -terminal 16- =
Down counting).
2.10 A + B AND A –B FUNCTIONING
Selecting from the programming menu the “tYPE” = “A P B”, the instrument works
as monodirectional pulse counter with double input in add counting mode. The two
used inputs are: input 1 at terminal 23 and input 2 at terminal 21.
Selecting from the programming menu the “tYPE” = “A n B”, the instrument works
as monodirectional pulse counter with double input in subtract counting mode. The
two used inputs are: input 1 at terminal 23 for up counting and input 2 at terminal 21
for down counting.
2.11 MARKER PULSE FUNCTIONING
The fifth encoder wire, called “marker pulse”, is abled to zero the visualization just
when the “hold” terminal is programmed as “marker pulse abilitation”.
When terminal 18 is active, the instrument is abled to zero the visualization when it
receives a pulse on terminal 20 (marker pulse). In this case the reset value is not
consedered in the total counting function.
3.0 ALARMS (option)
The MPCIB396 P6 instrument can be requested with 3 exchange relay.
Alarm 1 can be set up in the following ways:
1. windowed programming two set point (FinES)
2. threshold with programmed set point (SOGLIA)
3. threshold with programmed set point and stop counting (S.Stop)
4. Automatic cycle (up count) with reset of the display when count reaches the
setpoint and switch of the output for a programmable time. (S.AuuP)
5. Automatic cycle (down count): the display is set to the setpoint value when the
count reaches zero and switch of the output for a programmable time
(S.AudO).
Alarms 2 and 3 can be set up in the following ways:
1. windowed programming two set point (FinES)
