High-speed Counters Section 5-2
Set the target values so that they do not occur at the peak or trough of count
value changes.
Range Comparison The specified interrupt task is executed when the high-speed counter PV is
within the range defined by the upper and lower limit values.
• The comparison conditions (upper and lower limits of the range) are regis-
tered in the comparison table along with the corresponding interrupt task
number. The specified interrupt task will be executed once when the high-
speed counter PV is in the range (Lower limit ≤ PV ≤ Upper limit).
• A total of 8 ranges (upper and lower limits) are registered in the compari-
son table.
• The ranges can overlap.
• A different interrupt task can be registered for each range.
• The counter PV is compared with the 8 ranges once each cycle.
• The interrupt task is executed just once when the comparison condition
goes from unmet to met.
Restrictions
When more than one comparison condition is met in a cycle, the first interrupt
task in the table will be executed in that cycle. The next interrupt task in the
table will be executed in the next cycle.
Note (1) The range comparison table can be used without starting an interrupt
task when the comparison condition is met. The range comparison func-
tion can be useful when you just want to know whether or not the high-
speed counter PV is within a particular range.
Use the Range Comparison Condition Met Flags to determine whtether
the high-speed counter PV is within a registered range.
(2) When the count direction (incrementing/decrementing) changes at a PV
that matches a target value, or when starting the target value comparison
at a PV that matches a target value, the next target value cannot be
matched in that direction.
Set the target values so that they do not occur at the peak or trough of
count value changes.
