Periodic counting, primary direction down.
Down-counting starts at the load value.
If the parameterised end value +1 is reached during
counting in the negative direction, the counter jumps
back to the load value at the next count pulse and contin-
ues counting from there. The status bit "End value rea-
ched" is set and a process alarm will be triggered if it is
parameterised.
Upon reaching the upper count limit the counter jumps to
the lower count limit to continue counting from there.
The status bit "Overflow performed" is set and a process
alarm will be triggered if it is parameterised. All status
bits remain set until they are reset with the bit "Reset sta-
tus bits" in the control word.

Additional counter features
You can dene the additional features for the counter listed
below by parametrising or via the process data outputs:
Reset: resets the counting value to the load value during
counting.
Comparator: Upon meeting the comparison condition,
the comparison bit is activated or a process alarm is trig-
gered.
Hysteresis: reduces frequent toggling of the comparison
bit and/or excessive triggering of a process alarm, e.g.
when the value of a sensor signal fluctuates around the
comparison value.
