The operating procedures for High-speed Counter Units are described here.
There is no restriction regarding the sequence of "Programs and software settings" and "Hardware set-

Use Sysmac Studio to create and set programs.
For details on operations of Sysmac Studio, refer to Sysmac Studio Version 1 Operation Manual (Cat.
No. W504).
* At this time, an I/O Setting Check Error occurs when there is a Unit Configuration in the CPU Unit which does not
match the actual Unit Configuration. In this case, reset the Controller in Reset the Controller or restart the Unit
process to cancel the error.
Create Initial Settings Data of the Unit
Types of Counters and inputs
Digital Input function
Comparison data count, addresses,
etc.

(when using Circular/Linear Counters).
Register the structure data type for this Unit on the CPU/
Expansion Racks screen in Configuration and Setup
(when using output control functions).
(When the program is transferred, items set here will be reflected
in the device variables for CJ-series Unit (for setting).)
Create POU and global
variables
Create Unit Configuration
Create and register global variables and each POU.
Create algorithm of each POU and register local variables of each POU.
Register the Unit in the Unit Configuration on the CPU/Expansion
