Counting mode
The high-speed counter as the following four counting modes.
• Adding counter (single-phase high-speed counter)
The adding counter counts up with the rise in pulse input.
• Up/down selection reversible counter (single-phase high-speed counter)
Up/down selection reversible counter can switch between addition and subtraction by pulse input with the up/down selection
input. When the up/down selection input is on, the counter counts up with the rise in pulse input. When the up/down selection
input is off, the counter counts down with the rise in pulse input.
• 2-edge count (two-phase high-speed counter)
This counter counts by the phase difference between the A-phase and B-phase pulse input. When the A-phase precedes the B-
phase, the counter counts up with the rise and fall of the B-phase. When the B-phase precedes the A-phase, the counter counts
down with the rise and fall of the B-phase.
• 4-edge count (two-phase high-speed counter)
This counter counts by the phase difference between the A-phase and B-phase pulse input. When the A-phase precedes the B-
phase, the counter counts up with the rise and fall of the A-phase and the B-phase. When the B-phase precedes the A-phase, the
counter counts down with the rise and fall of the A-phase and the B-phase.
