Starting the Counter
The counter is reset and started by setting the SYNC bit in the diagnostic byte during the reference
point approach operation. The active pulses are counted according to the rotation direction of the
position encoder. The count value is incremented during a positive count direction, and decremen-
ted during a negative count direction.
Enabling the Outputs - Reaching the Setpoints - Resetting the Outputs
The two outputs are enabled for switching by a positive pulse edge at the enable input.
An output and the associated diagnostic bit “setpoint reached” are set if all of the following
statements are true:
• The position decoder was synchronized (SYNC bit=1 and overflow bit=0).
• The enable signal (terminal 3 on the terminal block) is set to “1” signal.
• The actual value corresponds to the selected setpoint.
The setpoint can be reached in the up-count or down-count direction.

After reaching setpoint 1, the output Q 0 is energized and the status bit S1 is set. After reaching
setpoint 2, the output Q 1 is energized and status bit S2 is set.
As long as the enable input is active, the outputs are switchable through the module. If the enable
command is cancelled, the outputs are switched off and the diagnostic bits are reset. The current
actual value is still being measured and incremented or decremented depending on the direction of
rotation.
