Counters
Parameter | Description |
Counter | Displays the counter number to which the configuration applies. |
Disable | Disables counter configuration. Cleared by default. Select to disable counter configuration. Use the column title to apply the same setting to all counters. |
Input Filter Time Off → On | Defines how long an Off to On input transition must remain in the On state before the device considers the transition valid. Available values:
|
Input Filter Time On → Off | Defines how long an On to Off input transition must remain in the Off state before the device considers the transition valid. Available values:
|
Preset | Displays the value, set in the Output tag O.Counterxx.Preset member, to use for counter preset. The value can range from 0 to 2,147,483,647. |
Rollover at Preset | Causes the counter counter to rollover to 0 at the Preset value. Selected by default. Clear to make the counter rollover to 0 when the value reaches 2,147,483,647. Use the column title to apply the same setting to all counters. |
