CJ-series High-speed Counter Units Operation Manual for NJ-series CPU Unit(W492)
The Counter Type Switch, at the front of the Unit, is used to set the Counter Type for every individual
Counter separately. By default all Counters are set to Simple Counter.
The following table shows how the Counters can be configured:
After having set the DIP switch of the Counter to ON, select between Circular and Linear Counter from
Edit Special Unit Settings of Sysmac Studio. Counters set to Circular/Linear Counter can make use of
all the features that the High-speed Counter Unit offers. Refer to 3-2-2 Circular Counter and 3-2-3 Lin-
ear Counter.
The Simple Counter is an extra feature of the High-speed Counter Unit, that enables an easy and fast
set-up of the Unit since no Special Unit settings are needed (all default settings are used). Conse-
quently, for Simple Counters, only a reduced subset of all the features that the Unit offers are available.
For further details about the Simple Counter and the features supported, see 3-2-1 Simple Counter.
Precautions for Safe Use
Always turn OFF the controller power before setting any DIP switches.
