1. Specifications
1-1. Abstract
CT08 (16) -ER2 is based on the 8ch counter timer CT08-01D, it is a multifunction machine plus the function
of 2ch encoder counter ER2C-04.Position information and counter information such as when continuously
acquires the count data that depends on the position can be acquired simultaneously.
Set time until 0.000001 seconds to more than 1,000,000 seconds, set number of counts can be set
to any until 1cts ~ 4,294,967Kcts. The case is EIA2. The 16-character × 2-stage LCD display
of larger character size 8 × 5, from among timers and counters and encoder counter,
two channels will be displayed. External communication is a LAN or USB.
In synchronization with the GATE IN signal ON / OFF or internal clock you can collect the data
up to a maximum of 30,000. It can also be used as a counter-timer CT08 (16) -01D.
And it can also be used as an encoder counter ER2C-04.
If you want to collect data in accordance with the timing in timer synchronization and
gate synchronization is a counter-timer function, will be collected at the same time as the counter data
of the data also ch8, ch9 of encoder counter. In the case of the CT16, the data of the encoder counter
will be collected at the same time as the counter data to ch16, ch17.

① Power switch The lamp of the switch is on when the power is on.
② LCD display (16 characters and Two lines)
It can display two items from the following 4 items into the two sections (upper row and lower row).
Count value, Timer value, Preset count value, Timer preset value
③ Input connectors for the Counters. There are CH0 to CH17. (INPUT)
It's possible to set preset value only for CH7.
④ It shows the beginning of count action. LED "ON" means the Counter gate open.
⑤ Reset button.
If the pushing is less than 1 second, the same reset action as power-up is executed
If the pushing is more than 3 seconds, the Counter moves to the firmware version up mode.
Please refer to the section "７．Firmware update" for details.

⑥ Connect TTL level signal (3.3 - 5V) from external unit.
START: When upward edge signal is "ON" ("H"), it starts counting. (INPUT)
Normally (not connected) START signal is "L".
When count mode is selected to "Counter 07 stop" or "Timer stop" and count
value or timer value goes on limit, START can't become true.

STOP: When upward edge signal is "ON" ("H"), counting action stopped. (INPUT)
Normally (not connected) STOP signal is "L".
GATE: When GATE signal goes "L", count action stopped during this level. (INPUT)
When it goes "H", count action starts again.
Normally (not connected) GATE signal is "H".
⑦ TTL (3.3V) output connector while counter is operating.
You can synchronous operation by the highest counter if you connect GATE connector of
other modules.
With inner DIP switches, you can invert logic level on START, STOP, GATE, and RUN
signals. Default setting is "ON" ("H"). If you change corresponding DSW2 switches
on printed-circuit board ON to OFF, they changes "OFF" ("L").

２．Before using
２－１． Select input signal level for count
CT08(16)-ER2 can select count input signal from TTL or NIM on each channels.
If you are going to change input signal settings, remove the screws that hold the top cover and
remove top cover. Regarding CH08-CH15, it is easy to touch the slide switch on input lemo
connector are, and it is easy to change the switch setting. Regarding CH00-CH07,
the slide switches are hidden under the print circuit board. Thus, the print circuit board must be
removed, if the slide switches are required to change the switch setting.
Please ask us to change the switch setting regarding CH00-CH07, if you
have difficulty to change this.
Where a front panel is seen in the front, it is NIM mode, if a slide switch is located to left.
It is TTL mode, if a slide switch is located to right.
It is TTL level at the time of shipping.
２－２．Setting LAN communication
２－２－１．Preparation for setting
To control this one by LAN communication, it's need to some setting items by 10Base-T/100Base-T
communication cable. Setting protocol is telnet protocol by TCP/IP connection.
To connect network by this one, IP address, subnet mask, and Port NO must be set to this unit.
Factory default is "IP address is 192.168.1.123", "sub net mask is 255.255.255.0" and
"Port NO is 7777 ".
When connecting PC directly, it's need to use cross cable. Otherwise using HUB module, it's no need
to use cross cable.
The way of connecting PC directly is as follows.
It's need to set IP address and subnet mask to your PC.
Set IP address to 192.168.1.10, and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, for example.
About the way of setting address to your PC, see your PC manual.
Select MS-DOS prompt and access command "ping" in MS-DOS prompt.

２－２－２．Change setting of network
Once you check connection is correct, enter new IP address and new telnet port NO of CT16-ER2.
(If default NO is OK, you don't have to do this operation.)
Default IP address is 192.168.1.123, and default port number is 7777.
IP address must be changed according to your network system.
If a port number doesn't need change, you may use number 7777.
Let's try connecting test by optional Windows software such as "telnet".
Example test data is "telnet 192.168.1.123 7777" in MS-DOS prompt screen.
( Use default setting, or use the current setting.)
When in telnet operation, send data "VER?" which are expected reply data.
If reply data is like ”1.04 15-05-19 CT08-ER2", then communication line is right.
"Telnet" function contains hardware and software function, when disconnect line, line must be cut off
by "telnet" software operation before hardware disconnection.
Next, please change IP address, port NO., Gate Way, and Sub net mask by telnet.
Change IP address :
IPAxxx_xxx_xxx_xxx
If you need to change IP address to 192.168.1.60, please execute the command as below.
IPA192_168_001_060
Confirm IP address :
IPA?
And return is as follow.
IPA192_168_001_060
Change port number :
PRTxxxx
If you need to change port number to 10999, please execute the command as below.
PRT10999
Confirm port number :
PRT?
And return is as follow.
PRT 10999
If need, you can change sub net mask, and Gate Way address.
After the above changes, CT48-01E is working with new setting, if the one of three is executed.
・ Send the command "RSET"
・ Push RES/FWR switch 1sec at the front panel
・ Power off, and power on after few seconds.
When LAN setting such as IP address became unknown, a setting change by LAN is not possible.
In that case, using USB communication at section 2-3, you can confirm and change.
２－２－３．Turn back PC set data
When PC settings were changed, move to the initial PC settings.
２－２－４．Connecting test
Let's try connecting test by optional Windows software such as "telnet".
Example test data is "telnet 192.168.1.123 7777" in MS-DOS prompt screen.
（IP address number must to be set number preliminary. ）
When in telnet operation, send data "VER?" which are expected reply data.
If reply data is like ”1.04 15-05-19 CT08-ER2", then communication line is right.
"Telnet" function contains hardware and software function, when disconnect line, line must be cut off
by "telnet" software operation before hardware disconnection.

２－３．Setting USB communication
２－３－１．Preparations for setting
Driver software for USB (Universal Serial Bus) operation is downloaded from our web server.
http://www.tsuji-denshi.co.jp/download_file/YS_USBCOM.EXE
By installing this software, connecting is done like a COM port connection.
Switch on a CT48-01E, connect USB cable, then there will be message box that shows "New hardware
device was found (CDC-RS232)". According to PC directions, specify 'the folders of downloaded
driver software.
When the driver software installs are done, open the "Control Panel" ( START → Control Panel),
click the "System" icon. Then property display of system appears. Select the "Device Manager".
Confirm the USB Serial Port (Com*) number in the tree between Port display.
You can see like "YS USB COM Port (COM5)" in port "COM and LPT" in tree.
Select the USB Serial Port (Com*), click Advanced in Port Setting display. It's possible to change
COM Port number. Click the check box Disable PNP □ , it's possible to short operation time in
connecting USB cable again.
You don't need to change RS232C setting like baud rate.
２－３－２． Connecting test
Launch RS-232C communication software such as hyper-terminal including PC.
Set COM port number which is known in previous item, it's need to check communication line is
available or not. In this case It's no need to set baud rate. Send the command data such as "VER?",
then get the reply "1.04 15-05-19 CT08-ER2", there is no problem for communication.
２－４．Connect communication cables
２－４－１．Connect communication cables
Connect the communication cable to USB port or LAN port on rear panel.
There is no need to connect both side, but there will be no problem even if connect both side.
If connected both side, latest command will be valid to the unit.
The Counter accepts 8 LAN connections at the same time.
However, only one connection is available regarding download.
During download, there is no reply message for the speed improvement.
But, the Counter accepts the command to stop download.
During high speed download (hexadecimal download), it may be unable to stop in the middle of run.
Because, the Counter is busy to receive data, and the software may be unable to send the stop
command from the same line. （It becomes easy to occur when COMM monitor is being displayed.）
In this case, you can send the stop command via other software and other LAN/USB port, and stop
the Counter.
２－４－２．Connect count signal
Connect count signal cable to CH0 ～ 15 LEMO connector which are
on front panel. It' s possible to count maximum 16 channel signals.
Before connecting the cable it's need to set signal change switch (TTL side or NIM side), according
to input signal. (See the section 2-1)
２－４－３． Start signal (TTL positive logic)
TTL positive logic signal starts counting action.
The width of start signal pulse must be more than 100ns.
If pulse width is long, please set to "L" before next stop.
It's possible to check the count start status by LED lamp on front panel.
It counts from start signal "ON" to stop signal "ON".
When the start signal is not used, it's possible to start by software commands.
14/43

２－４－４．Stop signal (TTL positive logic)
TTL positive logic signal quits counting action.
The width of stop signal pulse must be more than 100ns.
If pulse width is long, please set to "L" before next start
It's possible to check the count stop status by LED lamp on front panel.
It counts from start signal "ON" to stop signal "ON".
When the stop signal is not used,, it's possible to quit counting by software commands.
２－４－５．Gate signal (TTL positive logic)
Gate signal is TTL positive logic signal.
When gate signal goes "L" counting action stopped during "L" period. *)
When gate signal goes "L" LED lamp is "OFF" during this period.
LED lamp goes "ON" during gate signal is "H" when counter starts.
When gate signal is no connection, gate signal is equal to logic "H", because of internal pull-up.
When gate signal has been changed to "OFF", the count data are stored in memory on synchronous
gate data acquisition mode.
Memory size is about 5MB. Data can be stored up to 30,000 memory addresses for CT08 type,
and stored up to 15,000 memory addresses for CT16 type.
*) On synchronous gate edge data acquisition mode, the counting action continues to work,
even if gate signal goes "L".
２－４－６．Monitor out signal (In counting, TTL positive logic)
Run signal goes "H" when counting action is valid. It means count start and "Gate signal" are
in "H" logic, and LED goes "ON".
It's useful to use more than two counter units. Connecting this line to "Gate signal input" of another
unit, another units go active counting action.
Please see the section "8. Synchronous drive of multi units" for more details.
You can adjust pulse width, if the signal is difficult to use as trigger for other equipment
because of narrow width (<10μs).
