3.1.2
Configuring the high-speed counters
3.1.2.1
General
You configure the high-speed counters (HSC) in STEP 7 (TIA Portal).
The functions are controlled by the user program.

3.1.2.2
Assignment of the control interface of the high-speed counters
The user program uses the control interface to influence the behavior of the high speed
counter.
Note
Operation with High_Speed_Counter technology object
The High_Speed_Counter technology object is available for high
-speed counting mode. We
therefore recommend
use of the High_Speed_Counter technology object instead of the
control interface/feedback interface for controlling the high speed counter.
For information on configuring the technology object and programming the associated
instruction, refer to the S7
-1500, ET 200MP, ET
200SP Counting, measurement and position
detection (
