Operation The counter output (CV) value is decreased by 1 if the counter input (CD) value
changes from 0 -> 1 and the load input (LD) value is 0. If the load input (LD) value is 1,
the preset input (PV) value is stored as the counter output (CV) value. If the counter
output has reached its minimum value -2147483648, the counter output remains
unchanged.
The status output (Q) is 1 if the counter output (CV) value <
0.
Example:
Inputs Counter input (CD): Boolean
Load input (LD): Boolean
Preset input (PV): DINT
Outputs Status output (Q): Boolean
Counter output (CV): DINT
