HSCSTS.Accumulator contains the number of counts detected by the HSC sub-system. If either 
mode 0 or mode 1 is configured, the accumulator is reset to 0 when a high preset is reached or 
when an overflow condition is detected. 
The HSCSTS.HP is the upper set point (in counts) that defines when the HSC sub-system 
generates an interrupt. 
The data loaded into the high preset must be less than or equal to the data resident in the 
overflow (HSCAPP.OFSetting) parameter or an HSC error is generated.
This is the latest high preset setting, which may be updated by PLS function from the PLS data 
block.
The HSCSTS.LP is the lower set point (in counts) that defines when the HSC sub-system 
generates an interrupt. 
The data loaded into the low preset must greater than or equal to the data resident in the 
underflow (HSCAPP.UFSetting) parameter, or an HSC error is generated. If the underflow and 
low preset values are negative numbers, the low preset must be a number with a smaller 
absolute value.
This is the latest low preset setting, which may be updated by PLS function from the PLS data 
block.
The High Preset Output defines the state (1 = ON or 0 = OFF) of the outputs on the controller 
when the high preset is reached. See Output Mask Bits (HSCAPP.OutputMask)
 on page 209 for 
more information on how to directly turn outputs on or off based on the high preset being 
reached.
This is the latest high preset output setting, which may be updated by PLS function from the 
PLS data block.
The Low Preset Output defines the state (1 = “on”, 0 = “off”) of the outputs on the controller 
when the low preset is reached. See Output Mask Bits (HSCAPP.OutputMask)
 on page 209 for 
more information on how to directly turn outputs on or off based on the low preset being 
reached.
This is the latest low preset output setting, which may be updated by PLS function from the 
PLS data block.
