Feature Counter
Function
With each rising edge of the signal at the counter input the actual value is incremented by
1. (It's not necessary to feed the counter input with a pulse signal.)
Count direction Incrementing
Setpoint value
range
1 to 32767
Setpoint value entry Directly as a decimal constant (K) in the instruction, or indirectly in a data register
Counter overflow
behaviour
Counts to a maximum of 32,767, after which the counter value no longer changes.
Counter output Once the setpoint value has been reached the output remains on.
Resetting An RST instruction is used to delete the current value of the counter and turn off its output.
