2.16.2 Normal 32 bit Counters
The 32 bit counter C200 counts (up-count, down-count) accordin
to the ON/OFF state of
M8200. In the example pro
ram shown on the previous pa
e C200 is bein
used to count the
number of OFF ~ ON c
cles of input X4.
The output contact is set or reset dependin
on the direction of the count, upon reachin
a
value equal (in this example) to the contents of data re
isters D1,D0 (32 bit settin
data is
required for a 32 bit counter).
The output contact is reset and the current value of the counter is reset to ‘0’ when input X3 is
turned ON.
2.16.3 High Speed Counters
Hi
h speed counters have selectable count
directions. The directions are selected b
drivin
the appropriate special auxiliar
M
coil. The example shown to the ri
ht works
in the followin
manner; when X10 is ON,
countin
down takes place. When X10 is
OFF countin
up takes place.
In the example the output contacts of
counter C
∆∆∆
and its associated current
count values are reset to “0” when X11 is
turned ON. When X12 is turned ON the
driven counter is enabled. This means it will
be able to start countin
its assi
ned input
si
nal (this will not be X12 - hi
h speed
counters are assi
ned special input si
nals,
please see pa
e 4-22).
