Additional Information
• In Range Mode it is possible to apply a hysteresis to ranges in order to prevent Digital Out-
puts from toggling due to unwanted oscillating of an Encoder. Refer to 3-7-2 Hysteresis for
detailed information.
• Precautions When Setting Range Data
• Comparison Stoppage during Comparison of Ranges
The comparison operation stops for 1.5 ms from when the High-speed Counter Value falls
within the Upper Range Limit or Lower Range Limit for the range data. The other Counters,
however, do not stop comparisons.
Set the range data considering the time when the comparison is stopped.
For example, for the Range table shown in the following diagram, approximately 4.8 counts
occur during 1.5 ms when a 3.2 kHz pulse is input. This means that comparison does not
occur for Counter Values 101, 102, 103, and 104. During this period, the Output set under
the Output Pattern does not turn ON even if the Counter Value is within the range data
range.
Comparison starts again after this 1.5 ms has elapsed.
