[ b ] Pulse Count Function
The Pulse Count Function reads A/B pulse input signals to increment (forward run) or decrement
(reverse run) the count.
The following graph shows changes in the pulse count for each run mode.
<Explanation>
Counter current value
The values of n1 to n7 (counter value at each scan) is displayed sequentially in Counter
Current Value (IL
+4).
Count preset (1)
Executing the Count preset at the position p1 forces the counter value to change to the pre-
set value (p2 value).
MAX overflow
When the counter value increases to the value MAX (p3), the counter value will be auto-
matically reset to the value MIN (p4).
MIN overflow
When the counter value decreases to the value MIN (p5), the counter value will be auto-
matically reset to the value MAX (p6).
Count preset (2)
Executing the Count preset at the position p7 forces the counter value to change to the pre-
set value (p8 value).
