QV
QV outputs the number of pulses detected per
measuring interval
The function block operates in the integer
value range from 0…50 000.

QF
QF outputs the measured frequency*10.
The function block operates in the integer
value range from 0…50 000.
The following formula applies: 10 000 = 1
kHz.
The measurable frequency range is
0…5000 Hz.
Assigning operands
You can assign the following operands to the function block outputs that are numeric
outputs:
