Counters
NOTE:
Preset values for counters
must not exceed 8,000,000 for
proper operation.
Use counters to count changes or edges in Boolean values. Each time the value
changes from logical 0 to logical 1 (a rising edge), the counter Current Value
increments. Counters are available in the protection freeform area and automa-
tion freeform area, as shown in
. Counters have three input parame-
ters, Input, Preset Value, and Reset; and two outputs, Current Value and Output,
as listed in
.
In freeform programming, the relay evaluates the counter at execution of the
counter Input SEL
OGIC
control equation (PCN
nn
IN or ACN
nn
IN). If you enter
an expression for the counter Reset (PCN
nn
R) or the counter Preset (PCN
nn
PV),
the values for Reset and Preset that the relay uses are the last values the relay cal-
culates before the input SEL
OGIC
control equation calculation. Because the relay
uses the last values for Reset and Preset in this manner, we recommend for most
applications that you enter the Preset, Reset, and Input statements together in the
order shown in
. You can view the current value of the counter by
assigning the protection counter current value, PCV
nn
CV, to a protection math
variable or by assigning the automation counter current value, ACV
nn
CV, to an
automation math variable. View the math variable values by issuing the appropri-
ate
MET PMV
or
MET AMV
commands.
The current value count is stored in volatile memory. Elapsed time resets to zero
for both protection and automation sequential timers when relay power cycles,
you change settings or settings groups, or you perform any function that reboots
the relay.

settings to control a protection counter in protection freeform SEL

con-
trol equation programming. Programming for an automation counter is similar.
