Example 1:
● Measuring input input is only to measure positive edges.
● 6 negative and 5 positive edges occur in cycle n.
● 2 positive edges are measured
Result: The number of lost positive edges is 3.
Example 2:
● Measuring input input is to measure any edges.
● 11 edges occur in cycle n.
● 2 edges are measured
Result: 7 lost edges are signaled; 2 further edges cannot be recorded due to the limitation of
the counter to 7 in the module.
Evaluation in the user program
In eveluation of the LEC, ensure that the edge counter only fills 3 bits of the LEC byte in each
case. The non-relevant bits have to be masked in this way.

Program example
// lec_1 : IO variable in the SCOUT, symbolically interconnected
with LEC measuring input 1 (type byte)
// lec_2 : IO variable in the SCOUT, symbolically interconnected with
LEC measuring input 2 (type byte)
VAR
LecMeasuringInput1 : BYTE;
LecMeasuringInput2 : BYTE;
END_VAR
LecMeasuringInput1:= (lec_1 AND 16#07); // even channel
LecMeasuringInput2:= SHR((lec_2 AND 16#70),4); // odd channel
