The K3NR Frequency/Rate Meter displays desired values after converting input
pulses.
The K3NR has the following functions.
Operating mode
Function
1
Displays rotational or circumferential speed of a single input.
2 to 5
Displays the calculation results of two rotational inputs.
6
Displays passing time calculated from the frequency and process length of a single input.
7
Counts and displays the number of pulses.
Measurement
The internal system clock counts the ON/OFF time (T) of sensor input or other
input and automatically calculates the frequency. The number of revolutions is
calculated from the result of the frequency multiplied by 60.
Sensor input pulse ON/OFF time (T) =
Frequency (f) =
T
1
• Rotational speed (rpm) = f x 60
• Circumferential speed = Circumference x revolutions
• Passing time = Length of processing/Circumferential speed
• Pulse counting
If there is any pulse input, the input will be automatically converted numerically
and displayed.
Prescaling
The number of input pulses is converted into a desired value.
Enables the K3NR to display the revolutions or rotational speed. It is necessary
to multiply the number of pulses per revolution or circumference by a certain fac-
tor. This factor is called the prescaling value.
Example:
Proximity Sensor
K3NR
rpm = f x 60 x a
f: Input pulse frequency (number of pulses per second)
a: Prescale value
If there are five pulses per rotation, the accurate rotational
speed can be calculated if a = 1/5 (– 0.2=2 x 10–1).
Comparison output patterns can be selected from the standard, level, or zone
output depending on the application.
Refer to Comparative Output Patterns, page 80.
Refer to Linear Output Range, page 83.
BCD Output
A digital data output format where every four binary bits is numerically equivalent
to one decimal digit.
Refer to Section 7 BCD Output.
Refer to the Communications Manual.
HOLD is an external input which is used to stop the A/D process and freeze the
display. The comparative, linear, and BCD outputs are also retained.
Refer to 5-3 External Input Signals for details.

Features
Section 1-1
RESET is an external input to reset the present max./min. values and counting
values. The process value when the RESET is ON is set as the maximum and
minimum values. The counting value is reset to zero. The max./min. values and
counting values can be reset using the front panel keys.
Refer to pages 104 and 105.
Teaching
The K3NR is provided with a teaching function that can set an actual measured
value as a setting value without key input.
This function is useful for setting parameters while checking the operating status
of the K3NR.
The teaching function can be used to set the set and prescaling values. It can be
also used to set the linear output range of the K3NR with a Linear Output Board.
Refer to 6-1 Teaching Function for details.
Output Test
This function is convenient for checking a system to which the K3NR is con-
nected, especially when some inputs cannot be operated. The K3NR simulates
an input to check the output conditions.
Refer to 6-2 Output test for details.
Hysteresis
The established setting value includes a hysteresis setting to prevent “chatter-
ing” of the output when the measured value fluctuates in the vicinity of the setting
values.
Hysteresis is enabled when the measured value is starts to become smaller than
the HH and H setting values and larger than the LL and L setting values.
Refer to Hysteresis, page 78.
Startup Compensation Time
The startup compensation time parameter keeps the measurement operation
from sending an unnecessary output corresponding to instantaneous, fluctuat-
ing input from the moment the K3NR is turned ON until the end of the preset peri-
od.
Refer to Startup Compensation Time, page 74.
Remote/Local Selection
The K3NR can be operated remotely through a host computer or locally with key
inputs.
Remote Mode: For programming remotely by downloading setup parameters
from a host computer via RS-232C, RS-485, or RS-422.
Local Mode:
Programming is performed with the front panel key input.
Refer to Remote/Local Programming, page 86.
Setting process time for averaging measured value prevents the display from
fluctuating due to unstable input.
Refer to Process Time for Averaging Measured Value, page 72.
Auto-Zero Time
The input pulse frequency does not drop to zero perfectly due to the estimated
frequency calculation of the K3NR. Therefore, the K3NR has a function to cali-
brate the frequency to zero forcibly should no input pulse be received for a cer-
tain period. The period during which no pulse is received before the K3TR sets
the frequency to zero is called “auto-zero time.”

Distance
Basic Operation
Measures and displays the input pulse frequency of INA in units of seconds.
By selecting an appropriate prescale value, object passing time D in the range
determined by the prescale value will be displayed. Obtain display value D as
follows:
D (sec) = 1/fA x α
fA: INA input frequency (Hz)
α: prescale value of INA
Rotational speed = Input frequency (f) x (1/No. of pulses (N) per 1 cycle)
Circumferential speed = Circumference of roll (πd) x rotational speed
Passing time = Processing length (L)/Circumferential speed
INB input will be ignored.
Passing time is measured in this mode. Therefore, if the K3NR does not receive
any pulses for a certain period, the K3NR estimates passing time using the esti-
mated frequency calculation function and increases the displayed value.

Pulse Counting: ��
Application example
Counts the number of objects.
Basic Operation
Counts the number of pulses of INA and displays the result. Obtain display value
D as follows:
D (pulse count) = C x α
C: Pulse count of INA
α: Prescale value
Hold Displayed Value
By turning the HOLD input ON, the displayed value can be put on HOLD. While
the HOLD input is ON, the pulse counting operation continues, as does compar-
ative output and BCD output. In this case, using the HOLD input is similar to
checking a lap time with a stopwatch.
Interruption of Pulse Counting
With INB input ON, the pulse counting operation is interrupted and the mea-
sured value, comparative outputs, and BCD output are on HOLD. Pulse count-
ing will not begin while INB input is ON.
Clearing Accumulated Value
When the RESET input turns ON, the accumulated value is cleared to zero.
Pulse counting will not start while the RESET input is ON.
The accumulated value will be stored or cleared to zero when the K3NR is turned
off, and depends on the setting of the power failure memory (����) at option
menu.
Note By connecting comparative output with the RESET input terminal, the K3NR can
be used as a single-mode preset counter.

Maximum pulse counting speed is the maximum speed at which the K3NR
can count INA input pulses accurately. If comparative output is used as con-
trol output, the maximum pulse counting speed can be obtained as follows:
Maximum counting speed (cps) = 1/Delay in comparative outputs (sec)
If comparative output is directly connected to RESET input, the maximum
pulse counting speed can be obtained as follows:
Maximum counting speed (cps) = 1/Delay in comparative outputs (sec) + Re-
sponse time of RESET input (sec)
The response time of the HOLD or RESET input is the time required for the
K3TR to accept HOLD or RESET input after the HOLD or RESET input turns
ON. This is illustrated in the following diagram.

To display rotational speeds, circumferential speeds, or other values based on
input pulse calculations, the rotational speed must be multiplied by a factor input
before the input pulses are measured. This factor is called a prescale value.
Display value = Measured data x Prescaling value
Prescaling values can be set within a range between 0.0001 x 10–9 and 9.9999 x
109.
Example:
Setting prescaling value with the input of two pulses per revolution.

Calibrates the process value to zero forcibly if no input pulse is received for a
certain period. This period is called auto-zero time.
Refer to the following graph.
Frequency
Auto-zero time
Time
Logically, the input pulse frequency does not drop to zero perfectly due to the
estimated frequency calculation of the K3NR. Therefore, the K3NR has a func-
tion to calibrate the frequency to zero forcibly if no input pulse is received for a
certain period.
Automatic zero time is determined by the following formula.
Auto-zero time = X x 10Y (s) (X: mantissa, Y: exponent)
Note Auto-zero time must be longer than the value obtained by dividing
one by the minimum frequency input of the K3NR. Auto-zero time
must not be less than 0.1 s.
If the operating mode of the K3NR is set to F7 (pulse counting), this parameter
will not be available.

The K3NR averages its measured value at regular preset intervals. Therefore,
when the K3NR is used to measure the rpm of a machine, for example, the value
indicated by the PV display will be stable without being influenced by the fluctua-
tion of the input pulse intervals or the rotation of the machine. If the input pulse
intervals are larger than the preset regular intervals, the K3NR calculates the
rpm using the input pulse intervals.
