Module Operation

Chapter 2

To invoke the Up/Down Count function by using the output tag method, use the
Counter[

x]CountDown output tag to define the direction of Counter[x] as

shown in

Figure 4

. By default, the count direction is up.

Figure 4 - Counter[x]CountDown Output Tag

IMPORTANT

The Counter[x].CountDown output tag is active only if the Up/Down Count
function is not tied to Counter[x] via a hardware input. If a hardware input is
tied to Counter[x], the hardware input overrides the value of the
Counter[x].CountDown output tag.

0 = Count direction is up,
level-sensitive.
1 = Count direction is down,
level-sensitive.
