Reset Methods
Phase-Z Signal + Software
Reset
The high-speed counter's PV is reset when the phase-Z signal (reset input)
goes from OFF to ON while the corresponding High-speed Counter Reset Bit
is ON.
The CPU Unit recognizes the ON status of the High-speed Counter Reset Bit
only at the beginning of the PLC cycle during the overseeing processes. Con-
sequently, when the Reset Bit is turned ON in the ladder program, the phase-
Z signal does not become effective until the next PLC cycle.
Software Reset The high-speed counter's PV is reset when the corresponding High-speed
Counter Reset Bit goes from OFF to ON.
The CPU Unit recognizes the OFF-to-ON transition of the High-speed
Counter Reset Bit only at the beginning of the PLC cycle during the oversee-
ing processes. Reset processing is performed at the same time. The OFF-to-
ON transition will not be recognized if the Reset Bit goes OFF again within the
same cycle.
Note The comparison operation can be set to stop or continue when a high-speed
counter is reset. This enables applications where the comparison operation
can be restarted from a counter PV of 0 when the counter is reset.
