Counter functions
You may count forward and backwards and choose between the following
counter functions:
•
Count endless, e.g. distance measuring with incremental encoder
•
Count once, e.g. count to a maximum limit
•
Count periodic, e.g. count with repeated counter process
In the operating modes "Count once" and "Count periodic" you may define
a counter range as start and end value via the parameterization.
For every counter additional parameterizable functions are available like
gate function, comparison, hysteresis and process interrupt.
Via the parameterization you have the opportunity to define a main
counting direction for every counter.
If "none" is chosen, the complete counting range is available:
Limits Valid value range
Lower count limit -2 147 483 648 (-2
31
)
Upper count limit +2 147 483 647 (2
31
-1)
Main counting direction forward
Upper restriction of the count range. The counter counts 0 res.
load value
in
positive direction until the parameterized
end value
-1 and jumps then back
to the
load value
with the next following encoder pulse.
Main counting direction backwards
Lower restriction of the count range. The counter counts from the
parameterized start- res.
load value
in negative direction to the
parameterized
end value
+1 and jumps then back to the start value with the
next following encoder pulse.
Abort count process
The count process starts after closing and restart of the gate beginning with
the
load value
.
Interrupt count process
The count process continuous after closing and restart of the gate
beginning with the last recent counter value.
