Behavior at the Count Limits
If the counter
●
has reached one of the count limits when counting without a main count direction,
● has reached the high count limit when counting with main count direction up, or
● has reached the low count limit when counting with main count direction down
and another pulse then comes, the counter is set to the load value, from which it resumes
counting. An appropriate status bit is set in the DB.
