Note: 
1.  The max. frequency of the 1-phase input X0 (C243, C245, C246) and X2(C244) is 100kHz.  
2.  The max. frequency of the 1-phase 2-input (X0, X1)(C245, C246) and (X2, X3)(C249, C250) 
is 100kHz. 
3.  The max. frequency of the 1-phase 2-input (X0, X1)(C247, C248) is 10kHz. 
4.  The max. frequency of the 2-phase 2-input (X0, X1)(C251, C252) and (X2, X3)(C253, C254) 
is 5kHz.  
5.  2-phase 2-input counting supports double and 4 times frequency, which is selected in D1022 
as the table in next page.  Please refer to the below table for detailed counting wave form.

6.  C243 and C244 support count-up mode only and occupy the associate input points X1 and 
X3 as reset (“R”) function. If users do not need to apply reset function, set ON the associated 
special M relays (M1243 and M1244) to disable the reset function.
