3. Input module CPX-P-8DE-N-...
3.3.5 Operating mode B - Counter
Festo P.BE-CPX-P-EA-EN en 1209NH English
The counters count rising or falling edges of the digitised
input signal upwards or downwards depending on
parameterisation.
Certain parameter alterations cause an initialisation of the
respective channel. Counters are thereby reset to the starting
value (lower or upper limit value) (

Control possibilities
– Start, stop, reset via byte 0 of the PIO
– Current counter setting in byte 2 ... 9 of the PII
– Alarm signal in byte 0 of the PII
Parameterisable properties:
– Limit values can be freely selected within the range of
values
– Incremental or decremental counter
– Counting of falling or rising signal edges
– Input debounce times are taken into consideration
(signal extension time is ignored)
– Diagnostic response upon reaching the limit value can
be influenced
Maximum values:
– max. counting rate: 1250 Hz
– min. pulse length: 400 µs
– min. signal pause: 400 µs
– max. counting range: -32768 to 32767

The edges of the debounced signal are counted. The debounce
time limits the max. counting rate. At a debounce time of 3 ms, for
example, this is approx. 166 Hz.
