Counters Setup
The PM172 has four six-digit counters that can count pulses delivered
through the device digital inputs with a programmable scale factor, or events
that trigger setpoint operations. This menu allows you to link digital inputs to
the counters and define a pulse multiplier for each counter. To enter the
menu, select the “Cnt” entry from the Main menu and press the ENTER
button.
The menu uses three entries:
1. The upper window indicates a counter number.
2. The middle window selects a digital input to be linked to
the counter.
3. The lower window defines a counter multiplier.
Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to scroll to the desired counter.
To change the counter options:
1. Press the SELECT button to activate the middle window.
2. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to link a digital
input to the counter or to disable the counter input.
3. Press the SELECT button to activate the lower window.
4. Use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons to enter the desired
multiplier.
5. Press ENTER to confirm your changes and to store your
new settings, or press ESC to discard changes.
6. You are returned to the upper window to select another
counter or exit the menu.
To exit the menu, press ESC.
