3.2 List of Functions 
The following table indicates the QD60P8-G functions. 
 
Name Details Reference 
Linear counter function 
This function counts from 0 to 99999999 and detects an overflow 
when the count range is exceeded. 
Section 5.2.1
Ring counter function  This function repeats counting between 0 and 99999999.  Section 5.2.2
Accumulating 
counter 
Comparison output 
function 
This function turns ON the accumulating counter comparison flag 
when the accumulating count value reaches or exceeds the 
comparison output setting value. (The accumulating counter 
comparison flag turns OFF at a comparison signal reset request.) 
Section 5.4 
Count cycle change 
function 
This function changes the count cycle of the sampling pulse 
number or accumulating count value. 
Section 5.1.4
Movement averaging 
function 
This function performs movement averaging processing by the 
specified number of times if there are variations in the sampling 
pulse number. 
Section 5.7 
Pre-scale function 
This function converts the input pulse number into the unit pulse 
number when its weight per pulse is a fraction. 
Section 5.6 
Sampling 
counter 
Alarm output function 
This function sets the upper/upper limit value, upper/lower limit 
value, lower/upper limit value and lower/lower limit value for the 
sampling pulse number converted by the pre-scale function to 
output alarms. 
Section 5.8 
Counter reset function 
This function resets the sampling pulse number, accumulating 
count value or input pulse value. A reset can be made at any 
timing. 
Section 5.5 
Pulse edge selection function 
This function selects whether the rise or fall of an input pulse will 
be used for counting. (This setting can be made for each channel 
using the intelligent function module switch.) 
Section 4.5 
Count enable function 
This function starts input pulse count operation when the count 
enable signal is turned ON. 
Section 5.1.2
Online module change function 
This function changes the module without stopping the system. 
(Perform an online module change according to the messages of 
GX Developer.) 
Chapter 8 
Utility function 
This function uses the utility package (GX Configurator-CT) to 
perform initial setting, auto refresh setting, monitor/test or similar 
from within the software without using sequence programs. 
Chapter 6 
 
 
POINT 
 
The above functions can be used in combination. 
However, the linear counter function and ring counter function cannot be used 
together. 
Please select either of them.
