Timer and Counter Instructions Section 3-5
Clock Pulse and CNT Instruction
In this example, a CNT instruction counts the pulses from the 1-s clock pulse
to make a 700-second timer.
If the First Cycle Flag (A200.11) is ORed with the counter’s reset input
(CIO 0.01), the counter’s PV will be reset to the SV (0700) when program exe-
cution begins rather than resuming the count from the previous PV.
Example 2:
Two-stage Counter
When an SV higher than 9999 is required, two counters can be combined as
shown in the following example. In this case, two CNT instructions are com-
bined to make a BCD counter with an SV of 20,000.
