Module Operation
Counters 0…7 Counters 0…7 on the module are dedicated to up and down counting of
incoming pulses. The module counts rising pulse edges at a maximum of 40 kHz.
However, the following limitations apply as shown in
Figure 1 :
• The duration of a pulse cannot be less than 11 μs, which is the minimum
hardware delay time for a transition to be detected by an input.
• For repetitive counting, the total cycle time cannot be less than 25 μs.
