4.3.4 Counter / SSC4
For each individual SSC a switching counter is implemented, which can be used as diagnosis data or also as
measurement value. The number of counts of each channel can also be mapped to the measurement data
channel MDC by adjusting the MDC source (See section 0).
Trigger of counter is on positive slope of related SSC.
By configuring SSC4, it is also possible to set up a binary signal related to the number of switchcounts of
SSC1 or SSC2. An auto-reset and timefilters are included, to be able to create a full-featured counter being
able to count lot sizes without any need to code software on the PLC.
As all SSCs, SSC4 can also be mapped to the digital output giving the possibility to create a stand-alone lot-
size counter.
In section 3.1, the signal path is decribed more detailed, to illustrate how the counter module is implemented.
In section 4.3.4.2 the behavior depending on the configuration is explained.
4.3.4.1 SSC4 Configuration
In general the SSC4 offers the same features as the SSC1 and SSC2 based on distance (See 4.3.2),
including also timefilters.
Exceptions:
- No hysteresis settings as there are only incremental counts.
- Additional parameters to adjust like SSC4 Source and SSC4 Auto-Reset.
