CTUD / CTUD_S - Counter Up/Down

This counter function block counts up or down. In case of a rising edge at the input CU,
CV is increased by one. In case of a rising edge at the input CD, CV decrements by
one. If CV = PV, QU is set to TRUE. If CV = 0, QD is set to TRUE. If RESET = TRUE,
the counter is initialized with 0. If LOAD = TRUE, the counter is initialized with PV. To
enable the counting process, the inputs RESET and LOAD must be FALSE. Otherwise
the counter will always be re-initialized.
The function block is available as standard function block CTUD and safety-related
function block CTUD_S.

CTUD
Parameter Data types

CU BOOL If a rising edge is d

CD BOOL If a rising edge is d

RESET BOOL If TRUE, the co

If FALSE, count
 LOAD BOOL If TRUE, the co
If FALSE, count

PV INT Preset value

QU BOOL TRUE if CV = PV

QD BOOL TRUE if CV = 0

CV INT Counter result

CTUD_S
Parameter Data types

CU SAFEBOOL If a rising edge is

CD SAFEBOOL If a rising edge is

RESET SAFEBOOL If TRUE, the co

If FALSE, coun

LOAD SAFEBOOL If TRUE, the co

If FALSE, coun

PV SAFEINT Preset value

QU SAFEBOOL TRUE if CV = PV

QD SAFEBOOL TRUE if CV = 0

CV SAFEINT Counter result

NOTE: 
Function blocks have to be instantiated. Like variables, instances have to be
declared before they can be inserted in a code body. Instances must be unique
within the POU. In the following example, the instance name 'CTUD_S_1' is
used.

NOTE: 
If you want to use the standard function block CTUD in your code worksheet, you have
to select the data type 'CTUD' for the function block instance in the local
variables worksheet. Accordingly, the data types 'BOOL' and 'INT' must be used
instead of 'SAFEBOOL' and 'SAFEINT'.
