Chapter 7 Counters

Routing a Signal to Counter n Aux

Each counter has independent input selectors for the Counter n Aux signal.
Any of the following signals can be routed to the Counter n Aux input:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
In addition, a counter's Internal Output, Gate or Source can be routed to a
different counter's Aux. A counter's own gate can also be routed to its Aux
input.
Some of these options may not be available in some driver software.

Counter n A, Counter n B, and Counter n Z Signals

Counter n B can control the direction of counting in edge counting
applications. Use the A, B, and Z inputs to each counter when measuring
quadrature encoders or measuring two pulse encoders.

Routing Signals to A, B, and Z Counter Inputs

Each counter has independent input selectors for each of the A, B, and
Z inputs. Any of the following signals can be routed to each input:
•
•
•
•
•

Routing Counter n Z Signal to an Output Terminal

You can route Counter n Z out to any RTSI <0..7> terminal.
Counter n Up_Down Signal
Counter n Up_Down is another name for the Counter n B signal.
