11.8 Conditions for Hardware Counter to be Handled as Software Counter
The high-speed counters are classified into hardware counters and software counters.
Some hardware counters are handled as software counters depending on the operating conditions.
In this case, use hardware counters within the range of maximum response frequency and total frequency
determined for software counters.
11.8.1 Conditions under which counters are handled as software counters
The hardware counters can perform counting with the hardware of FX
3U
regardless of the overall frequency.
However, under the following conditions, they are handled as software counters.
When using them in the condition below, the maximum response frequencies and overall frequency of the
counters are considered to be the same as those of other software counters.
11.8.2 Method of confirming operation status of counters
The high-speed counter mode, hardware or software, can be confirmed by checking whether the operation
status (M8380 to M8387) is on or off.

For the list of operation status of high-speed counters, refer to Subsection 11.11.1.

When DHSCS (FNC 53), DHSCR (FNC 54), DHSZ (FNC 55) or DHSCT (FNC280) instruction is
used for a hardware counter number, the hardware counter is handled as a software counter.
Ex.: C235
In this case, C235 works as a software counter.
When the index register is used for the counter number designated by DHSCS (FNC 53), DHSCR
(FNC 54), DHSZ (FNC 55) or DHSCT (FNC280) instruction, all hardware counters are handled as
software counters.
Ex.: C235Z0
When the logic is reversed by the external rest input signal logic change function, C253 (hardware
counter) is switched to a software counter.
Ex.: The logic of the external reset input signal of C253 is inverted.
→
For the inversion of the logic of external reset input signal,
refer to Subsection 11.11.2.
