Rescaler
The Rescaler lets you change the frequency of a periodic input signal. You can use the Rescaler to
multiply the period by up to 4096 or divide it by up to 4095.
Figure 61: Granularity
The Rescaler is defined by the following settings:
Granularity
The granularity is the number of clock cycles during which the rescaler checks for activity on its input.
The value to use depends on the period/ frequency of the input signal. If a frequency lies between two
different granularity settings, the lowest setting will yield a better precision. The possible values are:

 The ―Min. Frequency‖ is a fixed minimum, otherwise the incoming signal period counter gets
saturated (reach the maximum count).
 The ―Max. Freq.‖ is a recommended maximum to get Error less than 1%.
Multiplicator
The multiplier applied to the input frequency. The possible values are:
 Frequency is multiplied by 256 (PLC_rsI0_Multiplier = FrequencyX256)
 Frequency is multiplied by 16 (PLC_rsI0_Multiplier = FrequencyX16)
 Frequency is multiplied by 4096 (PLC_rsI0_Multiplier = FrequencyX4096)
