Using High-Speed Counter Instructions
14–5
The table that follows uses the terminology shown here to indicate the status
of counting:
• Up↑ – increments by 1 when the input energizes (edge).
• Down↑ – decrements by 1 when the input energizes (edge).
• Reset↑ – resets the accumulator to zero when the input energizes (edge).
• Hold – disables the high-speed counter from counting while the input is
energized (level).
• Count – increments or decrements by 1 when the input energizes (edge).
• Direction – allows up counts when the input is de-energized and down
counts while the input is energized (level).
• A – input pulse in an incremental (quadrature) encoder (edge/level)
• B – input pulse in an incremental (quadrature) encoder (edge/level)
• Z – reset pulse in an incremental (quadrature) encoder (edge/level)
• ↑ – the signal is active on the rising edge only (off to on).
The table below lists the types of high-speed counter you can choose.

One difference between Up Counters and Bidirectional Counters is that for
Bidirectional Counters the accumulator and preset values are not changed by
the high-speed counter when the presets are reached. The RAC and HSL
instructions must be used for this function. The Up Counters clear the
accumulator values and re-load the high preset values when the previous
preset is reached.
