6BCounter Instructions 
The SG2 includes 31 counters that can be used throughout a program. Each 
counter has a choice of 9 operation modes, 1 for pulse counter, 6 for general 
purpose counting and 2 for high speed counting. Additionally, each counter has 6 
parameters for proper configuration. The tables below describe each configuration 
parameter and lists each compatible memory type for configuring counters. 
 
Common Counter 
Symbol description  Compatible Instructions Range 
① 
Counting Mode (0-6)  Input I01-I0C/i01-i0C 
Use (I01~g1F) to set counting up or down  Keypad input  Z01-Z04/z01-z04 
OFF: counting up (0, 1, 2, 3……)  Output  Q01-Q08/q01-q08 
② 
ON: counting down (……3, 2, 1, 0)  Auxiliary coil  M01-M3F/m01-m3F
Use (I01~g1F) to reset the counting value  Auxiliary coil  N01-N3F/n01-n3F 
ON: the counter value reset to 0  Expansion input  X01-X0C/x01-x0C 
③ 
OFF: the counter continues to count  Expansion output  Y01-Y0C/y01-y0C 
④ 
Counter current Value, range: 0~999999  RTC  R01-R1F/r01-r1F 
⑤ 
Counter preset Value, range: 0~999999  Counter  C01-C1F/c01-c1F 
⑥ 
Counter Code (C01~C1F total: 31 Counters) Timer  T01-T1F/t01-t1F 
Analog comparator  G01-F1F/g01-g1F  
Normal open contact  Lo 
※ The preset value of Counter could be a constant or other function current value. 
 
Counter Mode 0 (Internal coil) 
 
Mode 0 Counter (Internal Coil) used as internal auxiliary coils. No counter preset value. In the example below 
shows the relationship among the numbered block diagram for a mode 0 counter, the ladder diagram view, and the 
software Edit Contact/Coil dialog box.
