Functionality
The pulse counter for energy measurement function PCGAPC counts externally
generated binary pulses, for example, pulses coming from an external energy meter,
for the calculation of energy consumption values. The pulses are captured by the
binary input module and read by PCGAPC. The number of pulses in the counter is
then reported via the station bus to the automation system or read via the station
monitoring system as a service value. The scaled value is also available over IEC
61850 communication.
The pulses are captured by the binary input module and read by PCGAPC with a
frequency of up to 40 Hz. PCGAPC can also be used as a general-purpose counter.

Operation principle
The function can be enabled and disabled with the
Operation setting. The
corresponding parameter values are "on" and "off".
The operation of PCGAPC can be described with a module diagram. All the modules
in the diagram are explained in the next sections.
