How Counters Work
The figure below demonstrates how a counter works. The count value must
remain in the range of Low Preset -2,147,483,647 ~ High Preset
+2,147,483,647. If the count value goes above +2,147,483,647, the counter
status overflow bit is set (1). If the count goes below -2,147,483,647, the
counter status underflow bit is set (1). The RSTA instruction is used to reset
he counter.
Using the CTU and CTD Instructions
To use counter instructions, CTU and CTD, the CT instruction in the data
table is used. Following shows the elements of the CT instruction.
TIP
The counter continues to count when the accumulator is greater than
the CTU preset and when the accumulator is less than the CTD preset.
