7.2 Function Specifications and Restrictions
This section contains the specifications and restrictions of the high-speed counter, pulse
output, and PWM output function.
7.2.1 High-Speed Counter Function
For each count input mode, there are certain high-speed counter channels, inputs, and
memory areas.

Control flags and memory areas
The high-speed counter operating status, counting values, and control code are stored in
special internal relays and special data registers. The control code contains the counter
settings. To access special data registers and special internal relays, use the PLC-
independent system variables. You can insert system variables directly into the POU body:
Use the "Variables" dialog without entering a declaration in the POU header. See "
Instructions
and system variables" on page
