5.1.7.3. Pulse counters
Some specific digital inputs (refer to section “Digital inputs” on page 47) of the
terminal can be programmed either as digital inputs or as pulse counters. This
programming is done via the parameter Input # mode (in this parameter as well
as in others mentioned below, # denotes the input number).
When an input operates as a digital input, no counting is done but the pulse counter
value remains at the present value.
When an input operates as a pulse counter, the positive input transitions (0 -> 1) of
a filtered input are counted and the counter value of Input # counter increases
in the range 0... 2147483647. The pulse counters are updated with a period of 500
ms. The frequency range of a digital input parameterized to operate as a pulse
counter is 0...100 Hz.

The parameter Input # preset can be used to give a counter the start value.The
start value is loaded into the counter by:
• writing the desired start value to the parameter Input # preset,
• writing the value 1 to the parameter Counter trigger. Then all the updated
values of the Input # preset parameters are copied to the corresponding
Input # counter parameters.
Writing the value 2 to the Counter trigger parameter copies all the
Input # preset values to the corresponding Input # counter parameters.
Writing the value 0 clears all the counters.
Parameter Values Default
Input # preset 0..... 2147483647 0
Input # mode 1 = digital input
2 = counter
1
Counter trigger 0 = clear all counters
1 = load updated Input # preset values
2 = load all Input # preset values
