8.001 pulses difference

12.001 counter pulses (unsigned)

13.001 counter pulses (signed)

CW

Function:

A new counter reading can be set via the bus using this communication object. The counter reading is stored inside the device.

Availability:

The "A Count” communication object is displayed if the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Pulse counting

13.001 counter pulses (signed)

CRW

Function:

The limit value of the counter can be set or queried via this communication object.

Availability:

The "A Threshold” communication object is displayed if the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Pulse counting
  • Parameter "Below limit” or "Above limit” on parameter card "Pulse counting"
    • Setting: “enable

CRT

Function:

The current counter status is sent as a telegram via this communication object.

Availability:

The "A Count” communication object is displayed if the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Pulse counting

8.001 pulses difference

12.001 counter pulses (unsigned)

13.001 counter pulses (signed)

CRW

Function:

This communication object is used to set the starting value of the counter. The starting value set via this communication object overwrites the starting value set in the "Start value” parameter.

Availability:

The "A Start value” communication object is displayed if the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Pulse counting

More information:

A Above limit

No.

Object name

Function

Flags

22

A Above limit

On/Off

1.002 boolean

CRT

Function:

This object is used to signal that the limit value has been reached or exceeded, or to query via the bus whether a limit value has been exceeded.

If a counter reading is set below the upper limit value, the limit value exceedance is reset.

Availability:

The "A Above limit” communication object is displayed if the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Pulse counting
  • Parameter "Step” on the parameter card "Pulse counting"
    • Setting: positive value
  • Parameter "Above limit” on the parameter card "Pulse counting"
    • Setting: “enable

More information:

A Below limit

No.

A Below limit

On/Off

1.002 boolean

CRT

Function:

This object is used to signal that the value is at or under the limit, or it can be queried via the bus whether the value is under the limit.

If a counter reading is set above the lower limit value, the lower limit value is reset.

Availability:

The "A Below limit” communication object is displayed if the following configurations have been made:

  • Parameter "Function channels A + B” on the "device settings” parameter card
    • Setting: “Single
  • Parameter "Function channel” on the “functions, objects” parameter card
    • Setting: “Pulse counting
  • Parameter "Step” on the parameter card "Pulse counting"
    • Setting: negative value
  • Parameter "Below limit” on the parameter card "Pulse counting"
    • Setting: “enable
