Detailed Description of I/O Modules
process alarm will be triggered if it is parameterized. All status bits remain set until
they are reset with the bit Reset status bits in the control word.

Down-counting starts at the load value.
If the parameterized end value +1 is reached during counting in the negative
direction, the counter jumps back to the load value at the next count pulse and
continues counting from there. The status bit End value reached is set and a process
alarm will be triggered if it is parameterized.
Upon reaching the upper count limit the counter jumps to the lower count limit to
continue counting from there. The status bit Overflow performed is set and a
process alarm will be triggered if it is parameterized. All status bits remain set until
they are reset with the bit Reset status bits in the control word.
Reset: resets the counting value to the load value during counting.
Latch function: stores the current counting value in the latch register.
