Counter reset 
request 
•  Setting "1" in the counter reset request resets the "sampling 
pulse number", "accumulating count value" or "input pulse value" 
of the buffer memory. 
•  When a reset is made, the input pulses are invalid for a 
maximum of 20ms. 
•  If count operation has been stopped due to the detection of an 
overflow when the accumulating counter is used as the linear 
counter, the count operation is resumed after completion of a 
counter reset. 
•  If the setting value is other than 1, the setting is ignored. 
[Setting value] 
1: Reset request 
(The value automatically turns to "0" after completion of a 
counter reset.)

Carry over 
detection flag 
•  If the "accumulating count value" of the buffer memory exceeds 
99999999 when the accumulating counter is used as the ring 
counter, the carry over detection flag turns ON. 
•  Unlike the overflow detection flag, count operation is continued. 
•  The carry over detection flag is reset by setting "1" in the "carry 
over reset request" of the buffer memory. 
•  Unlike the overflow detection flag, an error does not occur if the 
carry over flag turns ON. 
[Detection value] 
0: No carry over detection (OFF) 
1: Carry over detection (ON) 
0  14 46 78 110 142 174 206 238
Carry over reset 
request 
•  Set the carry over reset request. 
•  If the setting value is other than 1, the setting is ignored. 
[Setting value] 
1: Reset request 
(The value automatically turns to "0" after completion of a carry 
over reset.)

Error code 
•  Stores the error code. 
•  The latest error code is always stored into the error code.

Alarm output 
selection 
•  Set whether an alarm will be output or not for the "sampling pulse 
number" of the buffer memory. 
•  If the setting value is other than 0 or 1, an alarm output setting 
range outside error (error code: 500) occurs. 
[Setting value] 
0: Alarm output function invalid 
1: Alarm output function valid 
0  17 49 81 113 145 177 209 241
Alarm output flag 
•  When "alarm output function valid" has been set in the "alarm 
output selection" of the buffer memory, the alarm output flag 
turns ON if the sampling pulse number exceeds the upper/upper 
limit value or lower/lower limit value.
