2. Programming Concepts
2.11  C (Counter) 
Counters will increment their present count value when input signals are triggered from OFFON. 
32 bits counters 
Counters  C0~C199  C200~C231(C232) 
C232(C233)~C242, 
C245~C254 
C243, C244

Output 
operation 
Counter will 
stop when 
preset value 
reached 
Counter will keep on counting when preset 
value reached. The count value will become 
-2,147,483,648 if one more count is ad
ded
t
o +2,147,483,647
Counter will keep on 
counting when preset 
value is 
count value will 
count is added to 
Output 
contact 
function 
will be ON 
when counter 
reaches 
Output coil is ON when counter reaches or 
is above preset value.  
Output coil is OFF when counter is below 
preset value. 
Output coil is ON 
when counter 
reaches or is above 
preset value 
High speed 
conparison 
- 
are activated 
immediately when 
preset value is 
reached, i.e. 
independant of scan 
- 
Reset 
action 
The present value will reset to 0 when RST instruction is executed, output coil will 
be OFF.
