Calculation of Response Frequency and Overall Frequency
11.9.1 Response frequencies of hardware counters
The maximum response frequencies of the hardware counters are shown in the following table.
Depending on the working conditions, the maximum response frequencies of hardware counters are the
same as those of the software counters, and limitations on overall frequency are set up.
→
For the conditions under which the hardware counters are handled as software counters,
refer to the previous page.
11.9.2 Response frequencies and overall frequency of software counters
The maximum response frequencies and overall frequency of software counters are shown below.
When HSZ or HSCT instruction is used in the program, limitations are put on the maximum response
frequencies and overall frequency of all software counters regardless of the instruction operand.
When examining the system or creating the program, use the counters within the maximum response
frequency and overall frequency ranges suitable to the conditions in consideration of the limitations.
1. When FX
3U
Series special function units/blocks and analog special adapters are not used
Examples of calculation are given in the heavy-line frame.
*1.
When an index register is added to a counter number specified by HSCS, HSCR, HSZ or HSCT
instruction, all hardware counters are switched to software counters.
*2.
The high-speed counters C244(OP) and C245(OP) cannot count signals of 10kHz or more.
