Using Counters
The EM720 provides 8 universal nine-digit counters that can
count different events.
Each counter can be independently linked to any digital input

can link a number of digital inputs to the same counter. Each
counter can also be incremented through the Control
Setpoints in response to any internal or external event.

the Meter Setup menu, and then click on the Pulse/Event
Counters tab.
