1. Advanced Control Functions
■ High-speed counter function (all series)
The built-in high-speed counter function supports four modes: two-phase input, UP, DOWN, and UP/DOWN.
The FP1 can read the input regardless of the scan time.
• Application: Pattern output function (all series)
■ Pulse output function (transistor output type)
This function allows the output of a direct pulse (45 Hz to 4.9 k Hz) from the FP1. In combination with a drive, a
motor can be controlled. As direct pulse is possible, an additional positioning controller is not necessary. As the C56
and C72 series have two pulse outputs, they also support motor drives with one input for forward and the other input
for reverse driving. To prevent incorrect forward/reverse driving, create an interlock circuit outside of the FP1.
• Position control:
C56 and C72 series
These also support drives with two pulse inputs. In
addition, it is not necessary to connect the pulse
output to the high-speed counter (Y7 to X0).
C14, C16, C24, and C40 series
These support drives with one pulse input and one
direction switching input. When using a drive with
two pulse inputs, a switching circuit based on an
external relay is necessary.
This function allows the setting of a maximum of
eight output patterns with 15 level settings of the
high-speed counter. Can also be applied to multi-
stage speed control with use of an inverter.
