Fast inputs

The devices dispose of fast counting/pulse inputs for an input frequency up to 30 kHz (→ data sheet).
If, for example, mechanical switches are connected to these inputs, there may be faulty signals in the
controller due to contact bouncing.
Appropriate function blocks are e.g.:
FAST_COUNT Counter block for fast input pulses
INC_ENCODER (→ page 171) Up/down counter function for the evaluation of encoders
PERIOD (→ page 175) Measures the frequency and the cycle period (cycle time) in [µs] at the indicated channel
When using these units, the parameterised inputs and outputs are automatically configured, so the
programmer of the application does not have to do this.

The permissible high input frequencies also ensure the detection of faulty signals, e.g. bouncing
contacts of mechanical switches.
► If required, suppress the faulty signals in the application program!
