VOL. 8 Phase differential input

Programming Example (In double multiplication mode)
Pulses up to 30-kHz frequency can be input.

Tips To use 24-bit high-speed counter

The 24-bit high-speed counter can be used to count the pulses from the encoder by
setting the special utility relays. It allows reliable counting of the pulses that cannot be
counted with the 16-bit high-speed counter.

Setting method
Specify the 24-bit high-speed counter with the MEMSW instruction.
To set high-speed counter CTH0 To set high-speed counter CTH1
MEMSW MEMSW
$0800 $1000

The counter value is read at every scan and is stored in the following data memories.
DM1900: Low-order bits of current CTH0 value
DM1901: High-order bits of current CTH0 value
DM1902: Low-order bits of current CTH1 value
DM1903: High-order bits of current CTH1 value

By using the KV-D20 operator interface panel, you can display the current value of the 24-
bit high-speed counter in real time.
