I/O Functions
Using as a Counter *1
| Inputs | CP1, CP2 | (1) In general (except for Dual Counter Mode) Reads counting signals. Increment, decrement, command, individual, and quadrature inputs accepted. (2) When used as a dual counter or twin counter Reads CP1 count signals with CP1 input and CP2 count signals with CP2 input. Increment signals can be input. |
| Reset/reset 1 | (1) In general (except for Dual Counter Mode) Resets present value and outputs (OUT2 when using the batch counter) *2. Counting cannot be performed during reset/reset 1 input. Reset indicator is lit while reset input is ON. (2) When used as a dual counter or twin counter. Resets the CP1 present value (to 0). Counting for CP1 input cannot be performed while the reset 1 input is ON. The reset indicator is lit while the reset 1 input is ON. | |
| Total reset or reset 2 | The reset function depends on the selected configuration *3. | |
| Outputs | OUT1, OUT2 | Outputs signals according to the specified output mode when a set value is reached. |
*1.For information on operation of I/O functions, refer to Data Sheet.
*2.In increment mode or increment/decrement mode, the present value returns to 0; in decrement mode, the present value returns to the set value with 1-stage models, and returns to set value 2 with 2-stage models.
*3.Reset operates as described in the following table. (The reset indicator will not be lit.)
| Configuration | Reset operation |
| 1-stage/2-stage preset counter | Does not operate (not used). |
| Total and preset counter | Resets the total count value. The total count value is held at 0 while the total reset input is ON. |
| Batch counter | Resets the batch count value and batch output (OUT1). The batch count value is held at 0 while the reset 2 input is ON. |
| Dual counter | Resets the CP2 present value. Counting for CP2 input cannot be performed while the reset 2 input is ON. |
| Twin counter | Resets the CP2 present value. |
The following table shows the delay from when the reset signal is input until the output is turned OFF. (Reference values)
| Minimum reset signal width | Output delay time |
| 1 ms | 0.8 to 1.2 ms |
| 20 ms | 15 to 25 ms |
Operating Procedures (Tachometer Function)
| Inputs | CP1, CP2 | Reads counting signals. (The CP2 input can be used when the input mode is not 1-input mode.) |
| Reset/reset 1 | Holds the measurement value and outputs. (The reset 2 input can be used when the input mode is 2-input independent measurement.) The reset indicator is lit when the value is being held. | |
| Outputs | OUT1, OUT2 | Outputs signals according to the specified output mode when a set value is reached. |
