5.3 Single Phase Speed Counter 
 
When the count input is changed from OFF to ON, the count value is increased by 1. When the count value reaches 
the set value, the count value is reset to 0, and I/O interrupt program is activated (if the interrupt enable flag is ON). 
The count value is reset to 0 when the reset input comes ON. This counter operation is enabled while the soft-gate is 
ON. The count value is reset to 0 when the soft-gate is changed from ON to OFF. The set value is set internally at 
the timing of the soft-gate changing from OFF to ON. When the soft-gate is OFF, count value can be changed by 
writing the data into the set value register and setting the count preset flag to ON. The count value range is H0000 
0000 to HFFFF FFFF (32-bit data). 
 
Hardware Condition: 
Count input (IP 1 and IP 2) (X000 and X001) 
ON/OFF pulse width: 10 micro or more (max. 50 kHz) 
Reset input (X002 and X003) 
ON/OFF duration: 2 ms or more

Note1: 
When both the channels are configured in high speed mode, IP1 to IP4 cannot be used as normal input devices. 
However, if either one channel is configured in high speed mode, the inputs for other channel can be used as normal 
input devices. 
Note2: 
Two words are used for storing the double word (32bit) count/set values. Lower word will contain Lower 16bit value 
and Higher word will contain higher 16 bit. This register storage scheme is applicable for all the modes. 
value.  Eg.  Count value  :  MW16,MW17 
So if count value is (Hex) 87654321 
MW16 = 4321 (Hex) 
MW17= 8765 (Hex) 
Note3: 
Input 3 and input 4 are used as reset inputs for count inputs 1 and 2. So do not use input 3 and 4 as normal inputs 
when PLC is configured in this mode.
