11 Use of High-speed Counters (C235 to C255)
11.5 Allocation of Device Numbers to Input Numbers
11.5 Allocation of Device Numbers to Input Numbers
The high-speed counter numbers are allocated to the input terminals X000 to X007 as shown in the following
table.
The input terminals not allocated for high-speed counters can be used as general input terminals.
11.5.1 Allocation table
The allocation of the first unit of FX3U-4HSX-ADP is shown in the heavy-line frames.
H/W: Hardware counter S/W: Software counter U: Up-count input D: Down-count input
A: A-phase input B: B-phase input R: External reset input S: External start input
*1. When the input terminals of the main unit receive pulses having a response frequency of 50k to
100kHz, wire the terminals as stated below.
- The wiring length should be 5m (16’4") or less.
- Connect a bleeder resistance of 1.5kΩ (1 W or more) to the input terminal, so that the load current
of the open collector transistor output on the mating device side to 20mA or more.
→ For the wiring, refer to Section 11.10.
