Frequency Measurement Mode
This section describes settings and functions that become valid when "Frequency Measurement Mode" is selected for
"Operation Mode Setting". In this mode, the pulses input from phase A and phase B pulse input signals are counted,
and the frequency is automatically calculated from the pulses. The measured frequency value is written to the
specified device using the Frequency measurement instruction (ICFCNT1) ( Page 252, Section 8.10.1 (7)). The
following table shows I/O signals used in this mode.

The signals can be used for other functions such as the general-purpose input except the interrupt input.
*2
The signals can be used for other functions such as the general-purpose input and output.
Note that the explanations in this section assume use of CH1. For the special relay, special register, and dedicated
instructions for CH2, refer to the following.
