• With the UDCNT1 instruction, the argument device data is registered in the work area of the CPU module
and counting operation is processed as a system interrupt. (The device data registered in the work area is
cleared by turning the execution command OFF, or turning the STOP/RUN switch STOPRUN.) For this
reason, the pulses that can be counted must have longer ON and OFF times than the interrupt interval of
the CPU module. The interrupt interval of the CPU module is 1ms.
• The set value cannot be changed during counting directed by the UDCNT1 instruction (while the execution
command is ON). To change the set value, turn OFF the execution command.
• Counters designated by the UDCNT1 instruction cannot be used by any other instruction. If they are used
by other instructions, they will not be capable of returning an accurate count.
• The UDCNT1 instruction can be used as many as 6 times within all the programs being executed. The
seventh and the subsequent UDCNT1 instructions are not processed.
• In any of the following cases, an operation error occurs, the error flag (SM0) turns ON, and an error code is stored into SD0.
• This program uses C0 (Up/Down counter) to count the number of times X0 goes from OFF to ON after X20 has gone ON.
