Product Q&A
Q: How does the SPHSS03 differ from a standard digital input module? A: Unlike standard modules that scan at controller cycle speeds, the SPHSS03 captures and time-stamps transitions locally at the 1ms level.
Q: Does it require an external master clock for synchronization? A: Yes, to maintain system-wide accuracy, it typically synchronizes with a Satellite Clock or a Master Timing Module within the Harmony rack.
Q: Can this module detect “chattering” contacts? A: Yes, it features programmable digital filtering and debounce timers to manage noisy field contacts and prevent buffer overflow.
