Maintenance Counters; Mechanical Brake Control - ABB ACS850 Firmware Manual

Maintenance counters

The program has six different maintenance counters that can be configured to
generate an alarm when the counter reaches a pre-defined limit. The counter can be
set to monitor any parameter. This feature is especially useful as a service reminder.
There are three types of counters:
• Ontime counter. Measures the time a digital source (for example, a bit in a status
word) is on.
• Rising edge counter. This counter is incremented whenever the monitored digital
source changes state from 0 to 1.
• Value counter. This counter measures, by integration, the monitored parameter.
An alarm is given when the calculated area below the signal peak exceeds a
user-defined limit.
