6.1 Selecting the Counter Function

By selecting the counter function with the counter function selection setting, the disable
count function, latch counter function, sampling counter function and periodic pulse
counter function can be used.
The counter function selection can be executed by writing the data shown in the table
below into the counter function selection setting buffer memory (address 9
by using the counter function selection start command (voltage applied to the function
start input terminal or turning Y06 (Y0E) ON using the sequence program).
Also, for the counter function selection, only one of the following four functions can be used.
(1) Disable count function
(2) Latch counter function
(3) Sampling counter function
(4) Periodic pulse counter function
(1) Change the counter function while the counter function selection start
(2) The counter function selection can be executed either by turning Y06 (Y0E) ON
(3) Time settings for the sampling counter function and the periodic pulse counter
