Features:
- RS-422 encoder variant: CNT204/R is the differential incremental-encoder member of the CNT204/x family.
- Flexible channel use: The module can combine encoder inputs with HTL counters or allocate all four channels to HTL counting.
- Exact order identity: Article 00010709-20 distinguishes the /R hardware and its accessory set.
CNT204/R brings differential encoder feedback and general-purpose counting into the Bachmann M200 I/O environment.
Its selectable channel arrangement allows a project to favor position feedback or use a wider group of HTL pulse sources without changing module family.
The /R suffix, article number, terminal accessory, and configured counting mode should remain aligned during replacement or rack expansion.
Apter Power supports documentation, quotation, and procurement for the Bachmann CNT204/R M200 RS-422 Counter and Incremental Encoder Module.

Important Notice: Other accessories, modules, and complete system configurations are quoted separately. All prices are shown in USD.
- Variant choice: Select CNT204/R when the installed feedback device uses differential RS-422 incremental-encoder signals.
- Signal set: Differential A, B, and N pairs carry the motion channels and reference pulse into the module.
- Edge evaluation: The selectable evaluation mode lets the application trade count resolution against the encoder's pulse pattern.
- Encoder supply: The module can feed compatible encoders from its designated supply outputs, so the connected load belongs in the power calculation.
- Encoder arrangement: Two incremental-encoder inputs can operate alongside two HTL counter channels.
- Four-counter mode: The alternative allocation uses four HTL counters rather than four simultaneous encoder channels.
- Count processing: The 32-bit counter range supports extended position or event totals before software rollover handling is needed.
- Pulse acceptance: The documented HTL timing limits must be respected so narrow field pulses are not lost at the input.
- External supply: The module and connected encoder load are powered from the designated DC input, so both loads belong in the supply budget.
- Protection: Reverse-polarity protection reduces wiring-damage risk but does not replace correct terminal assignment.
- Terminal set: KZ-CNT204 B article 00012057-30 is the identified connector accessory for field termination.
- Service accessory: SV-CNT204 B article 00010869-50 provides the separately identified service/connection item for this module family.
- Position feedback: Acquire RS-422 incremental-encoder signals in Bachmann M200 motion or machine-control tasks.
- Pulse counting: Combine encoder feedback with HTL event inputs or select the four-counter arrangement for discrete counting work.
- Exact rack replacement: Restore an installed /R position while preserving the article number, terminals, and configured counter mode.
