● High-speed Counter External Inputs
The 12-I/O type can only use a maximum of four single-phase high-speed counters and a maximum of one dual-
phase high-speed counter.
■ Single-phase high-speed counter
The 12-I/O type cannot use external inputs I0 and I1 as single-phase high-speed counters.
■ Two-phase high-speed counter
External inputs I0/I1 (group 1) can be used as two-phase high-speed counters. External inputs I2 can be used as
external clear inputs for group 1. In this situation, external inputs I2 cannot be used as single-phase high-speed
counters.
*1 If not used as the external clear input (Z-phase), group 2 can be used as single-phase high-speed counters.
