High-speed Counters Section 5-2
Counter Input Modes
Differential Phase Mode
(4x)
The differential phase mode uses two phase signals (phase A and phase B)
and increments/decrements the count according to the status of these two
signals.
Conditions for Incrementing/Decrementing the Count
Pulse + Direction Mode The pulse + direction mode uses a direction signal input and pulse signal
input. The count is incremented or decremented depending on the status (ON
or OFF) of the direction signal.
Conditions for Incrementing/Decrementing the Count
• The count is incremented when the direction signal is ON and decre-
mented when it is OFF.
• Only up-differentiated pulses (rising edges) can be counted.

High-speed Counter Gate
Bit
When a counter's Gate Bit is ON, the counter's
PV will not be changed even if pulse inputs are
received for the counter.
