The FC6A Series MicroSmart can use a maximum of six single-phase high-speed counters and a maximum of two two-phase high-
speed counters.
Single-phase high-speed counter
*1 If I2 and/or I5 are not used as clear inputs, they can be used as normal inputs.
*2 If Group 1 and Group 5 are used as Up/Down Selection Reversible Counter, use Group 2 as Group 1 input (up/down selection input) and
use Group 6 as Group 5 input (up/down selection input).
*3 If Group 1 and Group 5 are used as Dual-Pulse Reversible Counter, use Group 2 as Group 1 input (pulse input) and use Group 6 as Group 5
input (pulse input).
Two-phase high-speed counter
External inputs I0/I1 (Group 1-2) and I6/I7 (Group 5-6) can be used as two-phase high-speed counters.
External inputs I2 and I5 can be used as clear inputs for Group 1-2 and Group 5-6.
