2.6 Function Descriptions

The High-speed counting module can count high-speed pulse which cannot be proceed with the CPU
counting instructions (CTU,CTUD, etc.). Up to 24 bits binary (16,777,215) can be counted.
Pulse input mode is classified into 1-Phase (Phase A) pulse input and 2-Phase (Phase B) pulse input. In
1-Phase pulse input mode, there are two kinds of increment/decrement count methods. One is specified by
program and the other is specified by phase B pulse input signal. In 2-Phase pulse input mode, the
increment/decrement count method is specified by the phase difference between phase A and B pulsed.

2.6.1 Operation Modes

1) 1-phase Operation Mode (Increment /Decrement C o u n t by Program)

When Phase A pulse input rises, the counter performs increment or decrement count by
decrement counter specification signal.
If the decrement counter specification signal is low the counter performs increment count, and if
high, it performs decrement count.

2.6.2 Comparison Signal Output

The counting module has the function of comparison output, which outputs the result of
magnitude comparison between the Current value (=current value) and a comparison value.
There are two outputs in the comparison output and they can be used separately.
The magnitude comparison mode can be set as shown in the below table.

3.1 Installation

3.1.1 Installation Ambience

This module has high reliability regardless of its installation ambience. But be sure to check the following for system in higher
reliability and stability.

1) Ambience Requirements
Avoid installing this module in locations, which are subjected or exposed to:
Water leakage and dust a large amount of dust, powder and other conductive power, oil mist, salt, of organic solvent
Mechanical vibrations of impacts transmitted directly to the module body.
Direct sunlight.
Dew condensation due to sudden temperature change.
High or low temperatures (outside the range of 0-55 )

2) Installing and Wiring

During wiring or other work, do not allow any wire scraps to enter into it.
Install it on locations that are convenient for operation.
Make sure that it is not located near high voltage equipment on the same panel.
Make sure that the distance from the walls of duct and external equipment be 50 mm or more.

Be sure to be grounded to locations that have good noise immunity

3.2 Wiring Precautions

When using High-speed inputs, take the following precautions against noise in wiring.

1) Be sure to use shielded twisted pair cables and provided class 3 grounding.

2) Separate a twisted pair cable from power cables or I/O line that may generate noise.

3) Use a stabilized power supply for pulse generator.

For 1-phase input, connect count-input signal only to phase A;
For 2-phase input, connect to phases A and B.

6.2.3 Functions of I/O Signals

1) Input Signals

OUT 1
A data among ‘ >’ , ‘ =’ and ‘ <’ is selected and if the current comparison result conforms to the
selected data this input signal will be set to high (On).

OUT 2
A data among ‘ >’ , ‘ =’ and ‘ <’ is selected and if the current comparison result conforms to the
selected data this input signal will be set to high (On).

Home Input Signal

If the Home signal is inputed, this signal will be set to high (On). That is, this signal will be set to
high if the both of the limit switch signal and phase Z signal are turned On when the Home Latch
enable signal turns On. This signal will be set to low if the Home Latch signal turns Off.

Increment/Decrement Count Signal

This signal turns On if increment counting is being performed in present, and turns Off if decrement
counting is being performed.

C a r r y Signal
If the current count value is ‘ 16,777,215’ and increments by one pulse, the current value
becomes ‘ ’ and the carry signal turns On.

Borrow Signal
If the current count value is ‘ ’ and decrements by one pulse, the current value becomes
‘ 16,777,215’ and the borrow signal turns On.

Data Format Error

If a value of Preset, Set or Out data exceeds the input range, this signal turns On. If a normal
data value is inputed it turns Off.

2) Output Signal

Counter Preset Signal

This signal makes the high speed counting module process the counter initial set value(Preset
value) written in the Buffer Memory (CH0: addresses 0 and 1, CH1: addresses 10 and 11). Only
one pulse has to be turned On.

Counter Set Signal

This signal makes the high speed counting module process the current value written in the Buffer
Memory (CH0: addresses 2 and 3, CH1: addresses 12 and 13) and the set value(SET value)
which will be compared with it.

6 - 6
Chapter 6. BUFFER MEMORY AND I/O SIGNAL CONFIGURATON

Counter operation enable signal

This signal should be turned On in order that the high speed counting module start counting by
the pulse input. If this signal turns Off, the high speed counting module does not execute counting.

Increment/decrement count specification signal

When the increment/decrement mode is the program mode at 1-phase pulse inputs, Decrement
count will be proceeded if this signal is turned On. Increment count if Off. ( See 5) of section
4.2 )

Output enable signal

Turn this signal On to allow the terminal block(or external connector) output signals (OUT1 and
OUT2) to be outputed.

Home Latch enable signal

If this signal is turned On and phase Z and L/S inputs turns On, then the Home input signal turns
On and the current value will be reset(000000).

Coincidence Reset Signal

Turns this signal On to reset the signal ‘ current value = set value’ .

Carry/Borrow Reset Signal

When a Carry or Borrow signal has occurred, this signal is used to reset it.

6.3 Buffer memory configuration

The high speed counting module has a Buffer Memory for data write/read to/from the PLC CPU. The
PUT and PUTP instructions write data from the PLC CPU to the Buffer Memory. The GET and GETP
instruction reads data. (Refer to the Manuals relating to the instructions.)

The followings explain the structure of the Buffer Memory and the data configuration.

(1) Preset Value (Addresses 0 and 1)

0000 Lower

0001 Upper

O :Usable X :Unusable

Used to store the preset value from which count starts.

The preset value setting range is 0 to h00FFFFFF(16,777,215 as decimal). Up to h00FF(bits 0 to 7)
will be stored to the upper address (address 0001) and up to hFFFF(bits 0 to 15) to the lower
address (address 0000). If a value is stored to the upper bits 8 to 15(exceeds the preset value
setting range), the input signal P(N)6 turns On.
For the channel 1, the upper address is 0011 and the lower address 0010. If the preset value
exceeds the setting range the input signal P(N)E turns On.
If a preset value exceeds the setting range, the ERR LED flickers with 0.5 sec cycle.

(2) Set Value (Addresses 2 and 3)

0002 Lower

0003 Upper

O :Usable X :Unusable

Used to store the set value which will be compared with the current count value.
The set value setting range is 0 to h00FFFFFF(16,777,215 as decimal). If the set value exceeds the
setting range, the input signal P(N)6 turns On.
For the channel 1, the lower address is 0012 and the upper address 0013. If the set value exceeds
the setting range the input signal P(N)E turns On.
If a set value exceeds the setting range, the ERR LED flickers with 0.5 sec cycle.

Chapter 6. BUFFER MEMORY AND I/O SIGNAL CONFIGURATON

(3) Out Value (Address 4)

0004

O :Usable X :Unusable

Only bits 0, 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10 are usable. If other bit is used, the input signal P(N)6 turns On and
the ERR LED flickers with 0.5 sec cycle.

Bit 0 On : If current count value < set value, OUT1 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bit 1 On : If current count value = set value, OUT1 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bit 2 On : If current count value > set value, OUT1 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bit 8 On : If current count value < set value, OUT2 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bit 9 On : If current count value = set value, OUT2 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bit 10 On : If current count value > set value, OUT2 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bits 0, 1 and 2 can be used in combination.

[Example]
Bits 1 and 2 On : If current count value ≥ set value, OUT1 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bits 0 and 1 On : If current count value ≤ set value, OUT1 will be turned On. (output enable)
Bits 0 and 2 On : If current count value ≠ set value, OUT1 will be turned On. (output enable)
If bits 8, 9 and 10 are used in combination as shown above, the results same as above will be
output to the OUT2.

In relation to the channel 1, the address is 0014.

If the counter operation enable signal turns On, the current count value to pulse inputs will be
stored to these addresses.

6 - 11
Chapter 6. BUFFER MEMORY AND I/O SIGNAL CONFIGURATON

The input range is 0 to h00FFFFFF(16,777,215 as decimal). During increment counting, if the

current count value is h00FFFFFF and next pulse input has been received, it changes into
h00000000 and occurs a Carry. During decrement counting, if the current count value is h00000000
and next pulse input has been received, it changes into h00FFFFFF and occurs a Borrow.

If a Carry occurs, the P(N)4 will turn On for the CH0 and the P(N)C for the CH1.
If a Borrow occurs, the P(N)5 will turn On for the CH0 and the P(N)D for the CH1.

In relation to the channel 1, the addresses are 0015 and 0016.

Operation explanation
The motor for moving the cart rotates with start command, and makes the cart stop at the first stop position
with the High Speed Counter Module counting the encoder signals from the motor.
Then, if the first work complete signal turns On, the motor moves the cart to stop at the second stop
position. When the second work complete signal turns On, the motor return the cart to the start position.

• Operation Description

If the start switch is pushed, the turntable rotates as much as the rotation angle set (60 ) and
completes drilling.
If the drilling work complete signal turns On, it rotates again 60 . If repeating the above operations
has finished six drilling works, all processing will be finished.
