There are three types of counters:
•
For counting time (TIMERS).
•
For counting distance (DISTANCERS).
•
For counting situations (COUNTERS).
For each counter a counter signal

exists. A counter signal gets true
whenever the counter’s value exceeds a user-defined threshold and gets low
on the contrary. For example, a
time counter (TIMER) set to count sec-

Cxx
signal to
become true 300 seconds after defining the counter. See the next graphic to
illustrate this.
When a counter reaches the defined threshold it can:
