1) Calculation of overall frequency
The overall frequency is calculated by the high-speed comparison instruction used in the program based
on the above table.
Overall frequency ≥ Sum of "response frequency of high-speed counter × Magnification for
calculation of overall frequency"
2) Example of calculation
When only HSZ instruction is used six times in a program, the frequency is calculated by the formulas
shown in the "Only HSZ instruction" column in the above table.
2. When FX3U Series special function units/blocks and analog special adapters are used
*1. When an index register is added to a counter number specified by HSCS, HSCR, HSZ or HSCT
instruction, all hardware counters are switched to software counters.
*2. The high-speed counters C244(OP) and C245(OP) cannot count signals of 10 kHz or more.

1) The overall frequency is calculated as shown below because HSZ instruction is
used six times.
