Allen-Bradley MicroLogix 1100

Publication 1763-RM001C-EN-P - October 2009
Timer and Counter Instructions 177
CTU - Count Up
CTD - Count Down
Instruction Type: output
The CTU and CTD instructions are used to increment or decrement a
counter at each false-to-true rung transition. When the CTU rung makes a
false-to-true transition, the accumulated value is incremented by one
count. The CTD instruction operates the same, except the count is
decremented.

TIP
If the signal is coming from a field device wired to an
input on the controller, the on and off duration of the
incoming signal must not be more than twice the
controller scan time (assuming 50% duty cycle). This
condition is needed to enable the counter to detect
false-to-true transitions from the incoming device.
