4.4 "Counter" and "Frequency measurement" operating modes
Operating modes for selected digital inputs
You can activate the following functions for selected digital inputs:
● "Counter" operating mode
● "Frequency measurement" operating mode
Both operating modes are based on counting detected pulses. You can find additional
information on this in the section "Introduction to counting and frequency measurement
(Page 36)".
The function of the DI channel is processed independently of the operating mode.
You can find information on the digital inputs in the following sections:
