Pulse I/O Board Section 8-2
• Differential Phase Mode (4x)
• Pulse/Direction Mode
• Up/Down Mode
Interrupts
The Board can be set to execute an interrupt subroutine when the value of the
high-speed counter matches a specified target value, or an interrupt subrou-
tine when the PV falls within a specified comparison range.
Pulse Outputs 1 and 2 Two 10 Hz to 50 kHz pulses can be output from port 1 and port 2. Both fixed
and variable duty factors can be used.
• The fixed duty factor can raise or lower the frequency of the output from
10 Hz to 50 kHz smoothly.
• The variable duty factor enables pulse output to be performed using a
duty factor ranging from 1% to 99%.
Note While pulse inputs and pulse outputs can be performed simultaneously, it is
not possible to use all high-speed counter and pulse output functionality at the
same time. The Port Mode Setting (High-speed Counter Mode/Simple Posi-
tioning Mode) in the PC Setup (DM 6611) will determine which has full func-
tionality enabled. 
Pulse Outputs 1 and 2 Two pulse inputs (high-speed counter) and two pulse outputs can be used
simultaneously via ports 1 and 2. To determine which has functional priority,
the appropriate Port Mode setting must be entered in the PC Setup
(DM 6611).
Note 1. Mode 0: Acceleration + Independent Mode; Mode 1: Acceleration + Con-
tinuous Mode; Mode 2: Deceleration + Independent Mode; Mode 3: Decel-
eration + Continuous Mode.
2. The port modes for both ports 1 and 2 is always set to the same mode, i.e.,
either High-speed Counter Mode and Simple Positioning Mode. The mode
cannot be set separately for each port.
