4.6 Sample Program Using an Interrupt Routine
You can use the hardware interrupt of the CPU 210 to control tasks that require high-speed
counting functions. For example, you can use the CPU 210 to count a pulse train from an
RTD sensor instrument and control a resistance heater. Figure 4-13 shows a sample
application for the following tasks:
1. An instrument (such as a PT100 RTD sensor) measures the temperature, and an RTD
module generates an output pulse train that is proportional to the temperature.
2. Using the hardware interrupt event (the rising edge of I0.0), the CPU 210 counts the
pulses that it receives over a period of time (5 seconds). Based on the count (which
relates to the temperature), the CPU 210 turns a digital output on or off.
3. The power contactor turns the resistance heater on or off, based on the state of the
output of the CPU 210.
Figure 4-14 shows a sample program for this application example. This example counts up
to 3 kHz.
