Siemens FM 450-1 - Count Range

Terminating counting process with the gate stop function
In addition you can terminate the counting process at any time using the gate stop function. For
this purpose you set the GATE_STP input parameter of the FC CNT_CTRL.
8.7 Count range
Introduction
There is a 32°bit-wide count register on the module. With the count range you specify if the
module counts only in the positive range or if the 32nd°bit is interpreted as a sign bit and hence
negative numbers can be represented. This section describes these two count ranges, "0 to
+32 bits" and "-31 to +31 bits".
Count ranges
The FM 450-1 counts within di󹪜erent limits in the count ranges 0 to +32 bits and -31 to +31 bits.
In each case an over󹪞ow or an under󹪞ow is identi󹪝ed at the range limits.
In the "-31 to +31 bits" count mode, the counter status is represented in the two's complement.

In this count range, you can only specify and evaluate values in hexadecimal.
Over󹪞ow, under󹪞ow and zero crossing
A bit is set in the DB of FC°CNT_CTRL for both count limits in the case of over󹪞ow and under󹪞ow
(see section "Assignment of the DB (Page 87)").
In the "-31 to +31 bit" count range, a bit is similarly set in the DB on a zero crossing.
In the "0 to +32 bit" count range, an over󹪞ow or under󹪞ow, depending on the direction of
counting, is additionally indicated on a zero crossing.
Event Bit in the DB
Over󹪞ow STS_OFLW is set
Under󹪞ow STS_UFLW is set
Zero crossing STS_ZERO is set
