(4) Maximum counting speed
The counter can count only when the on/off time of the input condition is longer than the execution interval of the
corresponding OUT instruction. The maximum counting speed is calculated by the following formula:
*1 Duty (n) is the ON-OFF time ratio of count input signal, and is expressed as a percentage value.
The maximum counting speed can be increased by placing multiple counters within one scan. At this time, use the direct
access input (DX) for the counter input signal. (
