!WARNING It is extremely important that a PLC and all PLC Units be used for the specified
purpose and under the specified conditions, especially in applications that can
directly or indirectly affect human life. You must consult with your OMRON repre-
sentative before applying a PLC system to the above mentioned applications.
3 Safety Precautions
!WARNING Never attempt to disassemble any Units while power is being supplied.
Doing so may result in serious electronic shock.
!WARNING Never touch any of the terminals while power is being supplied.
Doing so may result in serious electronic shock.
!WARNING Provide safety measures in external circuits (i.e., not in the Programmable Con-
troller), including the following items, to ensure safety in the system if an abnor-
mality occurs due to malfunction of the PLC unit. Not providing sufficient safety
measures may result in serious accidents.
Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.
The PLC will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function detects any
error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is executed. Unexpected
operation, however, may still occur for errors in the I/O control section, errors in
I/O memory, and other errors that cannot be detected by the self-diagnosis
function. As a countermeasure for all such errors, external safety measures
must be provided to ensure safety in the system.
xiv
Safety Precautions 3
The PLC outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposits on or burning of the
output relays, or destruction of the output transistors. As a countermeasure for
such problems, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in
the system.
When the 24-VDC output (service power supply to the PLC) is overloaded or
short-circuited, the voltage may drop result in the outputs being turned OFF. As
a countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be pro-
vided to ensure safety in the system.
!WARNING The CPU Unit refreshes I/O even when the program is stopped (i.e., even in
PROGRAM mode). Confirm safety thoroughly in advance before changing the
status of any part of memory allocated to I/O Units, Special I/O Units, or CPU
Bus Units. Any changes to the data allocated to any Unit may result in unex-
pected operation of the loads connected to the Unit. Any of the following opera-
tion may result in changes to memory status.
Transferring I/O memory data from a Programming Device to the CPU Unit.
Changing present values in memory with a Programming Device.
Force-setting/-resetting bits with a Programming Device.
Transferring I/O memory files from a Memory Card or EM file memory to the
CPU Unit.
Transferring I/O memory from a host computer or from another PLC on a net-
work.
!WARNING Do not attempt to take any Unit apart while the power is being supplied. Doing so
may result in electric shock.
!WARNING Do not touch any of the terminals or terminal blocks while the power is being
supplied. Doing so may result in electric shock.
!WARNING Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify any Units. Any attempt to do so
may result in malfunction, fire, or electric shock.
!Caution Execute online edit only after confirming that no adverse effects will be caused
by extending the cycle time. Otherwise, the Input signals may not be readable.
!Caution Confirm safety at the destination node before transferring a program to another
node or changing contents of the I/O memory area. Doing either of these without
confirming safety may result in injury.
!Caution Tighten the screws on the terminal block of the AC Power Supply Unit to the
torque specified in the operation manual. Loose screws may result in burning or
malfunction.

Application Precautions 5
5 Application Precautions
Observe the following precautions when using the High-speed Counter Unit or the
PLC.
!WARNING Failure to comply with the following precautions could lead to serious or possibly
fatal injury. Always follow these precautions.
Always ground the system with 100 or less when installing the system, to pro-
tect against electrical shock.
Always turn OFF the power supply to the PLC before attempting any of the fol-
lowing. Performing any of the following with the power supply turned ON may
lead to electrical shock:
Mounting or removing any Units (e.g., I/O Units, CPU Unit, etc.) or memory
cassettes.
Assembling any devices or racks.
Connecting or disconnecting any connectors, cables or wiring.
Setting DIP switch or rotary switches.
!Caution Failure to comply with the following precautions could lead to faulty operation of
the PLC or the system, or could damage the PLC or PLC Units. Always follow
these precautions.
Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the event
of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines,
momentary power interruptions, or other causes.
Interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety measures in external circuits
(i.e., not in the Programmable Controller) must be provided by the customer.
If the IOM Hold Bit is turned ON, the outputs from the PLC will not be turned
OFF and will maintain their previous status when the PLC is switched from RUN
or MONITOR mode to PROGRAM mode. Make sure that the external loads will
not produce dangerous conditions when this occurs. (When operation stops for
a fatal error, including those produced with the FALS instruction, all outputs
from Output Unit will be turned OFF and only the internal output status will be
maintained.)
Use the Units only with the power supplies and voltages specified in the oper-
ation manuals. Other power supplies and voltages may damage the Units.
Take appropriate measures to ensure that the specified power with the rated
voltage and frequency is supplied. Be particularly careful in places where the
power supply is unstable. An incorrect power supply may result in malfunction.
Install external breakers and take other safety measures against short-
circuiting in external wiring. Insufficient safety measures against short-
circuiting may result in burning.
Do not apply voltages to Input sections in excess of the rated Input voltage.
Excess voltages may result in burning.
Do not apply voltages or connect loads in excess of the maximum switching
capacity to output sections. Excess voltage or loads may result in burning.
xvii
Application Precautions 5
!Caution Install the Units properly as specified in the operation manuals. Improper
installation of the Units may result in malfunction.

screws are tightened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect
tightening torque may result in malfunction.
Leave the label attached to the Unit when wiring. Removing the label may result
in malfunction if foreign matter enters the Unit.
Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dissipa-
tion. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.
Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires directly to
terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in burning.
Double-check all the wiring and the connectors before turning ON the power
supply. Incorrect wiring or bad connections may result in burning or malfunc-
tion.
Be sure that the terminal blocks, Memory Units, expansion cables, and other
items with locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking may
result in malfunction.
Check switch settings, the contents of the DM Area, and other preparations
before starting operation. Starting operation without the proper settings or data
may result in an unexpected operation.
Check the user program for proper execution before actually running it on the
Unit. Not checking the program may result in an unexpected operation.
Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting any of
the following. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
Changing the operating mode of the PLC.
Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.
Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.
Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit. Doing
either of these may break the cables.
Do not place objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so may
break the cables.
When replacing parts, be sure to confirm that the rating of a new part is correct.
Not doing so may result in malfunction or burning.
Before touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in order
to discharge any static built-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or dam-
age.
Do not touch circuit boards or the components mounted to them with your bare
hands. There are sharp leads and other parts on the boards that may cause
injury if handled improperly.
Provide proper shielding when installing in the following locations:
Locations subject to static electricity or other sources of noise.
Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
Locations subject to possible exposure to radiation.
Locations near power supply lines.
Do not attempt to take any Units apart, to repair any Units, or to modify any
Units in any way.
After connecting Power Supply Units, CPU Units, I/O Units, Special I/O Units,
or CPU Bus Units together, secure the Units by sliding the sliders at the top and
bottom of the Units until they click into place. Correct operation may not be pos-
sible if the Units are not securely properly. Be sure to attach the end cover pro-
vided with the CPU Unit to the rightmost Unit. CJ-series PLCs will not operate
properly if the end cover is not attached.

EC Directives Section
6 EC Directives
6-1 Applicable Directives
EMC Directives
Low Voltage Directive
6-2 Concepts
EMC Directives
OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives also conform to the related EMC
standards so that they can be more easily built into other devices or the overall
machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC stand-
ards (see the following note). Whether the products conform to the standards in
the system used by the customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives
will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of the equip-
ment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed. The customer
must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices and the overall
machine conform to EMC standards.
Note Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:

EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility):EN61000-6-2
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference):EN50081-2
(Radiated emission: 10-m regulations)
Low Voltage Directive
Always ensure that devices operating at voltages of 50 to 1,000 VAC and 75 to
1,500 VDC meet the required safety standards for the PLC (EN61131-2).
6-3 Conformance to EC Directives

CJ-series Units conform to EC Directives. For the system to conform to EC Direc-
tives, however, the following precautions must be adhered to.
1, 2, 3... 1. CJ-series Units must be installed within control panels.
2. Use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power supplies used
for the I/O power supplies.
3. CJ-series Units that meet EC Directives also meet the Common Emission
Standard (EN50081-2). The measure necessary to ensure that standards,
such as the radiated emission standard (10-m), are met, however, will vary
depending on the overall configuration of the control panel, the other devices
connected to the control panel and wiring. You must therefore confirm that EC
Directives are met for the overall machine or device.

The CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit is equipped with 2 Counters and

counts over a maximum binary range of 32-bits. Accepting input pulse frequencies
of up to 500 kHz allows precise control of fast motions. The Units bi-directional
counting ability enables detecting movement in either direction. Each Counter of
the Unit can be configured independently. The Unit is equipped with 2 Digital
Inputs, 2 Digital Outputs and 30 Soft Outputs. A maximum response time of
0.5 ms guarantees high-speed closed loop control of applications.
Freely Configurable The CJ1W-CT021, a Special I/O Unit for CJ-series PLC-systems, is a freely con-
figurable High-speed Counter Unit. Depending on the requirements of your appli-
cation, the specific behaviour of the Unit can be adjusted by changing the
configuration settings.
Counter Type Configuring the Unit starts with choosing one out of 3 Counter Types:
Simple Counter (refer to 3-2-1 "Simple Counter")
Circular Counter (refer to 3-2-2 "Circular Counter")
Linear Counter (refer to 3-2-3 "Linear Counter")
By default all Counters are set to Simple Counter for which no configuration set-
tings have to be made, enabling every Counter to count pulses directly after the
Unit has been powered up. For all Counter Types the full counting range is avail-
able. Circular and Linear Counters can be fully (DM-) configured according to the
application that is to be controlled.
Input Signal Type Depending on the type of input signal that your application requires, for every
Counter a choice can be made out of three input signal types:
Phase Differential Inputs (multiplication by either 1, 2 or 4)
(refer to 3-3-1 "Phase Differential")
Up/Down Pulse Inputs (refer to 3-3-2 "Up & Down")
Pulse & Direction Inputs (refer to 3-3-3 "Pulse & Direction")
2
Digital Input Function The Unit is equipped with 2 Digital Inputs (I0 and I1) that can be freely assigned
to any Counter. To meet the requirements of your application every Digital Input
can be configured according to one out of 17 available functions. The functions
make it possible to use a Digital Input with Gate-, Preset-, Reset- or Capture Func-
tionality (among other functions). Refer to 3-4 "Digital Input Functions".
Digital Output Control To control the Outputs the Unit can be configured in one of the two following Out-
put Control Modes:
Range Mode (refer to 3-5-1 "Range Mode")
Comparison Mode (refer to 3-5-2 "Comparison Mode")
In Range Mode, a configurable number of up to 32 Ranges can be applied to indi-
vidual Counters. Every Range can control up to a maximum of 32 Outputs. An
Output is turned ON when the Counter is in the corresponding Range. In Compar-
ison Mode a configurable number of up to 32 Comparison Values can be applied
to individual Counters. Depending on the direction of counting, an Output can be
set or reset (configurable) on reaching the Comparison Value. Every Comparison
Value can control up to maximum 32 Outputs.
Furthermore Outputs can be controlled manually by setting/resetting PLC soft-

ware bits (refer to 3-5-3 "Manual Output Control"). The Outputs can be configured
to keep their last state or to have a predefined state, in case the PLC-state
changes (RUN/MONITOR PROGRAM), an I/O Bus error or an Overflow/Under-
flow error occurs. Additionally Outputs can be configured with an NPN- or PNP
Output driver (refer to 3-5-4 "Output Control Configuration").
Resetting Counter Value Resetting of the Counter Value can be freely configured depending on the appli-
cation needs. The following sources can trigger a reset:
Software bit in the PLC
Z-Input
Digital Input (that is configured as a Reset Input)
To enable resetting a Counter Value, an external Digital Input can be configured as
Enable Reset Input and/or the Software Enable Reset bit can be used (refer to
3-6 "Reset Signals").
Programmable Output The timing characteristics of the Digital Outputs can be modified, depending on
Pulses the requirements of the application as follows (refer to 3-7-1 "Programmable Out-
put Pulses"):
Output Turn ON Delay [1 ms to 9999 ms], to delay turning ON an Output
Output Pulse Duration [1 ms to 9999 ms], to generate an Output pulse of the
specified duration
Rate Measurement The ability, for every Counter, to measure the Rate of the incoming pulses within
a predefined time-window [1ms to 9999 ms] enables measuring speeds and fre-
quencies. Rate Measurement is executed as background calculation and can be
enabled or disabled. For every Counter up to a maximum of 64 most recent Rate
Values are available as a Rate History Log File (refer to 3-7-2 "Rate Measure-
ment").
Hysteresis For Counters in Range Mode a hysteresis can be configured [1 to 255 counts], to
prevent Outputs from toggling due to unwanted oscillating of encoding equipment
(e.g. rotary incremental encoder). Refer to 3-7-3 "Hysteresis".
3
Noise Filtering For the purpose of suppressing noise on the signal lines A and B of every Counter
and on the Digital Input lines noise filters can be used. A noise filter can be con-
figured. The cut-off frequencies for the signal lines A and B can be set to:
10 kHz
50 kHz (default)
500 kHz
For the Digital Inputs 10 kHz and 50 kHz (default) noise filters can be configured.
Refer to 3-7-4 "Noise Filtering".
Run-time Configurable Configuration settings of the Unit can be changed at Run-time by using the IOWR-
instruction to be able to quickly adjust to changing application needs without the
need of restarting the Unit or stopping the Counters. Care, however, must be taken
when changing configuration settings. Refer to 3-5 "Output Control" for informa-
tion.
Interrupt Support All Outputs and Digital Inputs can be configured to generate interrupts to the PLC
in order to have a minimal response time enabling fast control of applications.
Generating interrupts is only possible when the High-speed Counter Unit is
mounted on a CPU-backplane.
Support Software The Unit can be configured by using CX-Programmer Support Software or a Pro-
gramming Console.
Quick Start Up Reference For a quick overview of all the features and functions that the High-speed Counter
Guide Unit offers to you, refer to 1-4 "Quick Start Up Reference Guide". This section also
contains references to the particular section(s) in the Manual where you can read

Mounting Restrictions The CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit is a Special I/O Unit belonging to the
CJ Series.
A CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit can be mounted to either a CJ CPU
Rack or CJ Expansion Rack.
Note If you want the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit to generate interrupts to
activate external interrupt tasks in a CJ1-H CPU Unit, the Counter Unit must be in
one of the five positions immediately to the right of the CJ1-H CPU Unit on the
CPU Rack. If you want the High-speed Counter Unit to generate interrupts to acti-
vate external interrupt tasks in a CJ1M CPU Unit, the Counter Unit must be in one
of the three positions immediately to the right of the CJ1M CPU Unit on the CPU
5
Basic Configuration Section 1-2
Rack.
No external interrupt tasks can be activated in CJ1-H or CJ1M CPU Units if the
CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit is in any other position (i.e., 6th Unit posi-
tion or further away from the CJ1-H CPU Unit, or 4th Unit position or further away
from the CJ1M CPU Unit), or if it is on a CJ-series Expansion Rack.
The maximum number of CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Units that can be

mounted to a CJ CPU Rack or CJ Expansion Rack is equal to the number of slots
of the Rack. In a configuration with multiple Racks the maximum number of CJ1W-
CT021 High-speed Counter Units is limited to 24 because the Unit is allocated 40
CIO-words and 400 DM-words in the Special I/O Unit Area.
Furthermore, the number of High-speed Counter Units that can be mounted to

one Rack (i.e., a CPU Rack or Expansion Rack) depends on the maximum supply
current from the Power Supply Unit that supplies the Rack and the current con-
sumption of other Units on the Rack.
I/O Connection Methods To connect the In- and Output signal wires to the Unit two methods are available:
1. Directly connecting the wires by soldering them to the external connector.
2. Indirectly connecting the wires by connecting them to screw terminals on a Ter-
minal Block Unit. The Omron Terminal Block Unit (XW2B-40G4 or XW2B-
40G5) is connected to the Unit via standard available Omron flat-cables
(XW2Z-xxxB).
Refer to 2-3-2 "Connector Wiring Methods" for more details.

Note As a general guideline it can be stated that if you want the timing requirements for
the Counter Inputs to satisfy the above mentioned specifications, you must pay
attention to the type of output driver of the encoder being used, the length of the
encoder cable and the frequency of the count pulses generated. For example, if
12
you use an Open Collector encoder (e.g. E6B2-CWZ6C) at 24 V with 10 m cable,

you can typically generate count pulses up to 20 kHz. Therefore, if you want to
generate count pulses with higher frequencies, you should use a different type of
encoder (e.g. E6B2-CWZ1X with Line Driver output or a fast push-pull 24 V
encoder, e.g. E6C2-CWZ5GH) or reduce the length of the encoder cable.

1-4-1 Configuring the High-speed Counter Unit

Configuration Configuring every Counter starts with choosing the Counter Type (Simple, Circu-
lar or Linear).
Simple Counter For Simple Counters you do not have to make any DM-configuration settings,
since for Simple Counters all default (DM-) settings are used. You can choose to
use Simple Counters if you intend to use the Counter only with basic counting
functionality (refer to 3-2-1 "Simple Counter" for details and to 1-5 Operating Pro-
cedure Guidelines for a quick start up procedure)
Circular/Linear Counter If you want to use the full available functionality for a Counter, you must configure
it for Circular or Linear Counter (refer to 3-2-2 "Circular Counter" and 3-2-3 "Linear
Counter" for details and to 1-5 "Operating Procedure Guidelines" for a quick start
up procedure).
Next the Input Signal Type (Phase Differential, Up/Down, or Pulse & Direction) for
every Counter has to be defined. Depending on the requirements of the application
one or more (maximum 2) Digital Inputs can be assigned to a Counter. To configure
the Digital Input(s) a choice can be made out of 17 available modes (e.g. Gate,
Enable Reset or Combination Modes, see 3-4 "Digital Input Functions"). During
operation of the Counter, the Counter can be Started, Stopped, Reset, Captured
or Preset by using the Digital Input(s) or the corresponding bits in CIO.
Controlling the Outputs is done by choosing the Output Control Mode (Range or
Comparison Mode). Furthermore 4 additional control mechanisms are available to
control the Outputs (Programmable Output Pulse, Output State Control, Manual
Control and Hysteresis). Refer to 3-5 "Output Control".
In case the Counter Input Signals (A, B, Z) and the Digital Input Signals (I0 to I1)
are exposed to electromagnetic noise, a noise filter can be configured (10 kHz,
50 kHz (=default) or 500 kHz) to suppress this noise. The 500 kHz noise filter is
only available for the Counter Input Signals and not for the Digital Input Signals.
Refer to 3-7-4 "Noise Filtering".
As background calculation, executed in parallel to operating the Counters, Rate

Measurement can be configured by choosing the appropriate Time-Window [1 to
9999 ms]. The calculated Rate Values are stored in the corresponding Rate His-
tory Log File inside the Unit and can be retrieved by issuing an IORD-command
from the PLC Ladder Program. Rate Measurement can be enabled/disabled for
every Counter. Refer to 3-7-2 "Rate Measurement".
Indirect Addressing for The CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit is allocated 400 DM-words in the
Circular and Linear Special I/O Unit DM-Area and a block of 40 CIO-words in the Special I/O Unit Area
Counters of the PLC. The configuration of the Unit is done by making the appropriate DM-
settings in the Special I/O Unit DM-Area that is allocated to the Unit.
The Special I/O Unit DM-Area is divided in an area of 30 words to make the Gen-
eral Unit Settings and 2 blocks of 45 DM-words each to make the Counter Specific
Settings, which are unique for every Counter. The remaining 287 words of the 400
DM-words can be used as work-words in the PLC Ladder Program.
19
Depending on the Output Control Mode, Counter Range or Comparison Data can
be set. Like this, for every Counter, up to a maximum of 32 Ranges or Comparison
Values can be assigned. You can set the Range or Comparison Data in a part of
DM or EM which is not being used. If you only intend to use a limited number of
Ranges or Comparison Values then it is also possible to use the work-words of the
Special I/O Unit DM-Area to store the Range or Comparison Data (287 work-
words for the CT021 are available). Therefore, at the end of every block with Coun-
ter Specific Settings, you can specify an Indirect Address. This Indirect Address
points to the actual memory location where the Range- or Comparison Settings of
that specific Counter are stored.
For a detailed description about the CIO- and DM-Memory Allocation refer to 4-2
"Memory Allocation".
Note During operation of the Unit, for Circular and Linear Counters run-time configura-
tion is possible by using the IOWR-instruction from the PLC Ladder Program (refer
to 4-5 "Supported IOWR/IORD-Instructions"). Additionally, the Digital Inputs and
Outputs can be configured to generate interrupts to the PLC by setting the appro-
priate Interrupt Masks in DM. (refer to 4-6 "Interrupts")
20
Operating Procedure Guidelines Section 1-5
1-5 Operating Procedure Guidelines

The DIP switch at the front of the Unit can be used to operate every Counter as
Simple Counter or as Circular/Linear Counter. Setting the DIP switch in the appro-
priate position defines the Counter Type.
The Operation Procedure Guidelines consists of 5 steps. In step 1 of the
Operating Procedure Guidelines for every Counter the Type has to be set with
the DIP switch into one of the following configurations:
Configuration 1 All Counters as Simple Counter

Configuration 2 All Counters as Circular/Linear Counter
Configuration 3 Mixed configuration of Simple/Circular/Linear Counters
Next you must execute step 2, 3, 4, and 5. Once the I/O table is created in step 5,
the Unit must be configured if you have chosen for Configuration 2 or 3. If you have
chosen for Configuration 1 the Unit is ready to operate. Consequently guidelines
to be followed after step 5 will depend on the Configuration made in step 1.
Setting Counter Type

1, 2, 3 1. Set the Counter Type for every Counter at the front of the Unit. Pins 1 and 2
correspond to Counters 1 and 2. Refer to 2-1-3 "Counter Type Switch" for fur-
ther details.

Unit Configuration After the I/O table is created in step 5, you have to configure the Unit if you have
chosen for Configuration 2 or 3 in step 1. Configuration is done by making the
appropriate DM-settings. The Unit can be configured by using CX-Programmer
Support Software or a Programming Console. Two Programming Consoles can be
used with the CJ-series CPU Units: the C200H-PRO27-E and the CQM1-PRO01-
E. CS1W-KS001 Key Sheet must be used for both.
Depending on the Configuration (1, 2 or 3) that you specified in step 1, you should
continue with the corresponding step of the configuration-process:
Configuration 1 All Counters as Simple Counters:

1, 2, 3 1. No (DM-) configuration settings can be made. The Unit is ready to count and
will use all default DM-values. All data related to the Simple Counter is now
being exchanged between the PLC and the Unit in CIO-memory and available
for usage in the PLC Ladder Program.
2. Create and RUN a Ladder Program in the PLC. Refer to SECTION 4 "Exchang-
ing Data with CPU" for details on the interface between the High-speed Counter
Unit and the CPU. Section 6-1 Flow Control describes an application example
using the Simple Counter.
22
Refer to 3-2-1 "Simple Counter" for more details about the Simple Counter.
Configuration 2 All Counters as Circular or Linear Counter:

1, 2, 3 1. Every Counter can now be separately (DM-) configured. For this purpose you
can use a Programming Console or CX-Programmer Support Software. The
configuration of the Counter Type (Linear or Circular Counter) is done by DM-
setting. Refer to SECTION 3 "Operation and Configuration" for detailed infor-
mation about configuring the Unit.
2. Power up the PLC again or turn the Special I/O Unit Restart Bit to ON (to trans-
fer the DM-settings). All data related to Circular /Linear Counters is now being
exchanged between the PLC and the Unit in CIO-memory and available for
usage in the Ladder Program.
ing Data with CPU" for details on the interface between the CJ-series High-
speed Counter Unit and the CPU. Refer to sections 6-2 to 6-5 for application
examples using Circular and Linear Counters.
Refer to 3-2-2 "Circular Counter" and 3-2-3 "Linear Counter" for more details
about both Counter Types. Refer to 4-1-2 "Special I/O Units Restart bits" for more
information about restarting the Unit.
Configuration 3 Mixed Configuration Simple/Circular/Linear Counters:

1, 2, 3 1. Every Counter that has been set to Circular/Linear Counter can now be (DM-)
configured. For this purpose you can use a Programming Console or CX-Pro-
grammer Support Software. The configuration of the Counter Type (Linear or
Circular Counter) is done by DM-setting. Refer to SECTION 3 "Operation and
Configuration" for detailed information about configuring the Unit. For the
Counters that have been configured for Simple Counter no (DM-) configuration
has to be done since the default (=0000) DM-settings are used for these
Counters.
2. Power up the PLC again or turn the Special I/O Unit Restart Bit to ON (to trans-
fer the DM-settings). All data related to Circular/Linear Counters is now being
exchanged between the PLC and the Unit in CIO-memory and available for
usage in the PLC Ladder Program.
ing Data with CPU" for details on the interface between the High-speed Counter
Unit and the CPU. Refer to sections 6-2 to 6-5 for application examples using
Circular and Linear Counters.
Refer to 3-2-1 "Simple Counter", 3-2-2 "Circular Counter" and 3-2-3 "Linear Coun-
ter" for more details about the Counter Types. Refer to 4-1-2 "Special I/O Units
Restart bits" for more information about restarting the Unit.
Note For using Simple Counters you do not have to clear the corresponding DM-set-
tings to zero (=0000), since the Unit does not use this information and always uses
the default (=0000) settings.

2 #2 ON Circular/Linear Counter
OFF Simple Counter
After having set the DIP switch of the Counter to ON, further selection between
Circular and Linear Counter, is done by DM-setting. Counters that are configured
for Circular/Linear Counter can make use of all the features that the High-speed
Counter Unit offers. More information on Circular and Linear Counters can be
found in 3-2-2 "Circular Counter" and 3-2-3 "Linear Counter" respectively.
The Simple Counter is an extra feature of the High-speed Counter Unit, that ena-
bles an easy and fast set-up of the Unit since no (DM-) configuration settings have
to be made (all default (=0000) DM-settings are used). Consequently for Simple
Counters only a reduced subset of all the features that the Unit offers are availa-
ble. For further details about the Simple Counter and the features supported, see
3-2-1 "Simple Counter".
!Caution Since the Counter Type Switch is located at the back of the Unit, always turn OFF
the power to the PLC before installing or removing the Unit.

The CPU Unit and the High-speed Counter Unit exchange data via the Special
I/O Unit Area (CIO) and the Special I/O Unit DM Area. The High-speed Counter
Unit is allocated the words for 4 Units. This means that 40 words in the Special
I/O Unit Area (CIO) and 400 words in the Special I/O Unit DM Area are allocated.
The allocation of these words is done according to the Machine Number set. The
Machine Number is set by using the two Machine Number rotary switches on the
front panel of the Unit.
Always turn OFF the power before setting the Machine Number. Use a flat-blade
screwdriver, being careful not to damage the switch. Be sure not to leave the
switch midway between settings.
Note The Machine Number determines which words in the CPU Units Special I/O Unit
Area (CIO 2000 to CIO 2959 and DM 20000 to DM 29599) are allocated to the
High-speed Counter Unit. Since the Unit is allocated 400 DM-words and 40 CIO-
words, the Machine Number can only be set between 00 and 92. The Machine
Numbers 93, 94 and 95 can not be set.

Note 1. If two or more Special I/O Units are assigned the same Machine Number, a fatal
error Unit No. Duplication Error (in the PLC-CPU) will be generated (A40113
will turn ON) and the PLC will not operate.
2. The High-speed Counter Unit is allocated the words for 4 Units. If you use Spe-
cial I/O Units that are allocated more than 100 DM-words and 10 CIO-words,
like the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit, you should make sure that no
memory overlapping occurs. If the Machine Number for the High-speed Coun-
ter Unit is set to n the Machine Number of the Special I/O Unit should be set
to n+4, in order to avoid memory overlapping. In case two or more Special I/O
Units have set Machine Numbers that cause an overlapping of allocated mem-
ory a fatal error Unit No. Duplication Error (in the PLC-CPU) will be generated
(A40113 will turn ON) and the PLC will not operate.
3. Besides the memory that is allocated to the High-speed Counter Unit in the
Special I/O Unit DM Area, for every Counter additional memory can be allo-
cated in DM/EM. This extra allocated amount of memory is used to make the
Counter Specific Settings related to Range or Comparison Mode. Memory is
allocated by specifying an Indirect Address for every Counter in the Special I/
O Unit DM Area. For details about Indirect Addressing refer to 4-2-2 "Indirect
Addressing".
2-2 Installation
2-2-1 System Configuration Precautions
Up to 24 Units can be connected for each PLC (CPU Unit), including up to 10 on
each Rack (CPU Rack and Expansion Racks).
Note The Unit must be mounted to one of the five positions immediately to the right of
the CJ1-H CPU Unit (when facing the PLC) to generate interrupts to the CPU
Unit to execute external interrupt tasks. Interrupts are not supported from any
other location on the CPU Rack and are not supported at all from Expansion
Rack. They are also not supported by CJ1 CPU Units.
2-2-2 Installing Units

!Caution Leave the protective label on top of the Unit as long as the Unit is not mounted
and wired completely, in order to prevent wire clippings or other materials from
getting inside the Unit. When the mounting and wiring has been completed, the
label must be removed to allow air circulation and heat radiation.
!Caution Be sure to turn OFF the power supply to the PLC before installing or removing
Units or connecting or disconnecting connectors.

Power Supply (to feed the +PS:12 to 24 V -PS: 0 V 1
outputs)
Power Supply External power has to be applied to the Power Supply pins in order to feed the Dig-
ital Outputs. Depending on what your application requires you can apply an exter-
nal voltage between 12 to 24 VDC. In case the Digital Outputs are not used in your
application, no external power has to be supplied.
32
Wiring Section 2-3
Digital Outputs Every Digital Output (O0 and O1) can be used in a NPN- or PNP-configuration
depending on your application needs. This configuration is done by making the cor-
responding DM-setting (refer to 3-5-4 "Output Control Configuration" for more
details). After you have configured the Digital Outputs for NPN or PNP you should
make sure to use the corresponding physical NPN or PNP output pin.
Digital Inputs The Digital Inputs should be supplied with 24 VDC signals. Every Digital Input (I0
and I1) is equipped with a separate Ground Signal (0V) and has its own electronic
input circuitry. This gives you the opportunity to connect sensors either with a
NPN- or PNP-output driver. By making the appropriate DM-setting it is possible to
assign multiple Digital Inputs to single Counters (refer to 3-4 "Digital Input Func-
tions" for more details).
Counter Inputs To the Counter Inputs of the High-speed Counter Unit signals can be applied orig-
inating from one of the following driver types:
RS-422 Line Driver
5, 12 and 24 VDC signals from NPN- or PNP Drivers
The Unit allows you to connect Line Driver signals and 24 VDC signals to any
Counter. The following table gives an overview of which driver signals can be
applied to which Counters:

2-3-2 Connector Wiring Methods

!Caution Do not remove the label on top of the High-speed Counter Unit until the wiring
has finished. Not doing could cause wire cuttings and other materials falling into
the Unit or short circuit the internal circuitry, resulting in malfunctioning or burn-
ing. Be sure to remove the label after wiring the connectors to allow air circulation
and heat radiation.
!Caution Be sure that all the connectors are wired correctly and properly connected to the
High-speed Counter Unit, to prevent the Unit from malfunctioning.
To wire the CJ1W-CT021 in order to connect the external signals (Power Supply,
the Digital I/O and the Counter Inputs) two methods are available:
1. Directly connecting the wires and cables to the external connector, which is
standard delivered with the High-speed Counter Unit
2. Indirectly connecting the wires and cables to the screw terminals of a Terminal
Block Unit. The Terminal Block Unit is connected to the Unit with a standard
(flat-) cable. Both parts can be ordered separately.
External Connector The connector has to be assembled from the separate parts that it exists of and
that are supplied together with the Unit. Most important part is the connector jack
(FCN-361J040) that contains 40 soldering terminals to which the wires have to be
soldered.

every soldered wire with an insulated tube.
34
Wiring Section 2-3
3. When using multi-conductor cables, separate the input- and output cables.
Terminal Block Unit
Besides direct connection as described above, it is also possible to make all the
connections for the external signals to screw-terminals. This is easier and less
time-consuming than soldering the wires to the external connector. For this pur-
pose you should use a Terminal Block Unit. The following Terminal Block Units are
recommended for using together with the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit:
XW2B-40G4, which has 40 screw -terminals (M2.4) available

XW2B-40G5, which has 40 screw -terminals (M3.5) available
These Terminal Block Units can be mounted to a DIN-rail or can be mounted using
screws. The connector on front of the Unit should be connected to a Terminal
Block Unit through a standard (40 wire) cable. For this purpose you can use the
standard available cables with product-number XW2Z-xxxB. The length of the
cable is indicated by xxx in centimetres. The following cables are available:
XW2Z-050B (0.5 m)
XW2Z-100B (1 m)
XW2Z-150B (1.5 m)
XW2Z-200B (2 m)
XW2Z-300B (3 m)
XW2Z-500B (5 m)

you want to connect the external signals via Terminal Block Units to the High-
speed Counter Unit.
2-3-3 Important Wiring Considerations

Use the following guidelines when planning the system wiring of the Unit:
Disconnect the power to the PLC-system before wiring the Unit.
Make sure the PLC-system is properly grounded.
Use shielded, twisted pair cables and ground the shield when wiring the Coun-
ter Inputs (A, B, Z) and the Digital Inputs. When grounding the shield at the side
of the Unit, use the same reference as the ground terminal of the PLC-Power
Supply is connected to.
Make the wiring for the Counter Inputs A, B and Z as short as possible and do
not route the wires parallel to lines that produce a lot of noise, such as high-volt-
age power lines.
Try to use a separate stabilised Power Supply for the High-speed Counter Unit
and another Power Supply for other Units.

Overview Section 3-1
3-1 Overview
After you have installed and wired the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit as
described in 2-2 "Installation" and 2-3 "Wiring", you have to configure the Unit by
making DM-settings. Only Counters that have been configured for Circular/Linear
Counter (corresponding DIP switch on the front of the Unit in the ON-position) can
be DM-configured. For Simple Counters the default DM-settings are used and no
DM-settings can be made.
In this section you will learn how to configure the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Coun-
ter Unit in order to adjust the behaviour of the Unit according to the specific
requirements of your application (refer to 1-4 "Quick Start Up Reference Guide" for
an overview of the configuration items for every Counter). Also throughout this
section, the CIO-words that are relevant to operate the Unit from the PLC ladder
program are mentioned (refer to 4-2-3 "CIO-Memory Mapping" for an overview).
For an overview of all the DM-settings that can be made refer to 4-2-4 "DM-Mem-
ory Mapping".
All the features and functions that the High-speed Counter Unit offers are (DM-)
configurable (except the configuration of the Simple Counter which is done by DIP
switch). In the Special I/O Unit DM-area that is allocated to the High-speed Coun-
ter after the Unit has been properly installed (see 1-5 "Operating Procedure
Guidelines"), all the available features and functions of the Unit are represented by
their corresponding DM-words. You are free to choose the sequence in which you
configure the different functions. However, you are recommended to follow the
sequence of configuring the features and functions in the order as described in
this section.
Note 1. Throughout this section for the DM- and CIO- addresses an offset is defined
with respect to the physical address of the first word of the block that is allo-
cated to the High-speed Counter Unit (N = Machine Number):
m = DM20000 + (Nx100), address of the first word of the block of 400 DM-
words that are allocated to the Unit
n = CIO2000 + (Nx10), address of the first word of the block of 40 CIO-
words that are allocated to the Unit
Example: m+2 indicates the DM-word located at DM20000 +(Nx100) + 2.
2. Double words are indicated as for example n+22, n+23 (double word in CIO)
or m+57, m+58 (double word in DM). How to distinguish between the least-
and most significant words (LSW and MSW) within double words, you should
refer to the section called About this Manual at the beginning of this Manual.
46
Counter Types Section 3-2
3-2 Counter Types

Every single Counter of the High-speed Counter Unit can be set independently to
one of the following Counter Types (for an overview of the differences between
Simple and Circular/Linear Counters refer to 1-4 "Quick Start Up Reference
Guide"):
Simple Counter (refer to section 3-2-1 "Simple Counter")
Circular Counter (refer to section 3-2-2 "Circular Counter")
Linear Counter (refer to section 3-2-3 "Linear Counter")
The configuration starts by setting each Counters DIP switch on the front of the
Unit in the appropriate position. By default this switch is in the OFF position which
selects the Simple Counter. To select a Circular or Linear Counter set the switch
in the ON position. After you have set the DIP switch in the ON position you can
configure every Counter as Circular or Linear Counter by giving the corresponding
word in DM the appropriate setting:
CNT1: CNT2: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
m+30 m+75
Counter Type:
0 = Circular Counter
1 = Linear Counter
For Circular and Linear Counters all the functions and features of the High-speed
Counter Unit are available and configurable. For Simple Counters only the default
functions and features are supported since the Unit ignores the DM-settings for
Simple Counters.
Counter Value For all Counter Types the 32-bit Counter Value is reflected in CIO.
CNT1: CNT2: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
n+22 n+27
n+23 n+28
Counter Value
Simple Counter: between 80000000 H and 7FFFFFFF H
Circular Counter: between 00000000H and FFFFFFFFH
Linear Counter: between 80000000 H and 7FFFFFFF H
47
3-2-1 Simple Counter

The advantage of using a Counter as a Simple Counter is that you do not have to
make any DM-configuration settings. Instead, all default DM-settings are used. As
a consequence Simple Counters can only be used in a default configuration. If you
intend to use the High-speed Counter Unit only with Simple Counters the informa-
tion as described in this section Simple Counter, covers all the default features
and functions that are important and available to you.
If you want to use all the available features and functions of the High-speed Coun-
ter Unit you must configure a Counter not as Simple Counter but as Circular or Lin-
ear Counter. For detailed information on Circular and Linear Counters refer to 3-
2-2 "Circular Counter" and 3-2-3 "Linear Counter".

Simple Counter The following features and functions are supported for Simple Counters in a
Configuration default configuration:
A Simple Counter can count up and down over the full (32-bits) counting range
(comparable to a Linear Counter, refer to 3-2-3 "Linear Counter").
By using CIO-bits the Counter Value of a Simple Counter can be Preset, Reset
or Captured and the Gate can be Opened or Closed to allow counting pulses
or not.
Only Phase Differential (multiplication x1) Signals can be connected to a Sim-
ple Counter. The Z-signal cannot be used to trigger a Reset, only its status is
reported in CIO (and can be used to trigger a reset indirectly via the PLC lad-
der-program).
The Noise Filters for the Simple Counter and the Digital Inputs are fixed at
50 kHz. This means that the maximum frequency of the count pulses up to
50 kHz is guaranteed.
The Digital Outputs of the High-speed Counter Unit can only be controlled
manually using the corresponding bits in CIO.
The Digital Inputs and Outputs can generate Interrupts if Interrupts have been
enabled (in a mixed configuration with Simple/Circular/Linear Counters).
The two Digital Outputs use an NPN-Output Driver.
48
The Digital Inputs cannot be assigned to individual Counters and the Function
of the Digital Inputs cannot be configured. Only the status of the Digital Inputs
is reported in CIO. For information on assigning Functions to Digital Inputs for
Circular and Linear Counters refer to 3-4 "Digital Input Functions".
Three IORD/IOWR-commands are supported: read Captured Counter Value
(refer to 4-5-3-1 Captured Counter Value), read/write Counter Value (refer to
4-5-3-3 "Counter Value") and write Error Clear Command (refer to 4-5-3-5
"Error Clear Command").
Errors are normally reported in CIO (refer to 5-2 "Error codes").
The following features and functions are not supported for Simple Counters:
IORD and IOWR-instructions to change DM-settings cannot be addressed to
Simple Counters and will generate an error (refer to 5-2-2 "IOWR/IORD-
instruction errors"). Only the three above mentioned IORD/IOWR-instructions
are supported for Simple Counters.
Rate Measurement.
Note 1. The CPU exchanges data with the Simple Counter via the I/O Refresh Data
Area (CIO).
2. If a Counter is configured for Simple Counter, it is indicated in CIO.
3. All the DM-words that are allocated to a Simple Counter to make the Counter
Specific Settings, can be used as work-words.
Controlling Simple Simple Counters can be controlled from CIO. For an overview of all control bits
Counters via CIO and words refer to 4-2-3 "CIO-Memory Mapping".
The following gives a detailed description of all the features and functions for Sim-
ple Counters that are available in CIO:
32 Bits Counting Range A Simple Counter has the full counting range (=32 bits) available to count up- or
downwards over the positive and negative counting range between the Lower
Count Limit (2,147,483,648) and the Upper Count Limit (+2,147,483,647).
Lower Count Limit Upper Count Limit

Down Counting
Underflow Overflow
Reporting Overflow and If the Counter Value goes above the Upper Count Limit or below the Lower Count
Underflow and indicating Limit an Overflow or Underflow will be generated respectively. These are reported
Simple Counter in CIO for every Counter in the corresponding bits. At Over- and Underflow the
Counter Value will be frozen at the Upper- and Lower Count Limit respectively and
49
received count pulses will have no effect. The Over- and Underflow flags can be
cleared by forcing a Preset or a Reset.

1 = Simple Counter
Gating of a Simple Counter The Gate of a Simple Counter can be opened and closed using the Open Gate
Bit and Close Gate Bit in CIO. If the Gate of the Simple Counter is Open the
Counter is ready to count pulses. If the Gate of the Simple Counter is Closed the
Counter will not count pulses. A rising edge of the Open- or Close Gate Bit triggers
the corresponding action in the next I/O Refresh Cycle.
Initially, after the High-speed Counter Unit has been powered up or restarted, the
Gate of the Simple Counter is closed and must be opened first (by setting the
Open Gate bit to 1) to enable counting.

A rising edge of the "Open Gate Bit" opens the Gate regardless of the state of the "Close Gate
Bit". A rising edge of the "Close Gate Bit" closes the Gate regardless of the state of the "Open
Gate Bit". At a simultaneous rising edge of both bits, the state of the Gate is unchanged.
Presetting a Simple The Unit is equipped with a Preset Register that contains the Preset Value for
Counter every (Simple) Counter. To change the Preset Value you can change the Preset
Value in CIO of the corresponding Counter. The Counter Value is overwritten with
the Preset Value at a rising edge of the Preset Counter Bit of the corresponding
50
Counter. A rising edge of the Preset Counter Bit triggers a preset in the next I/O
Refresh Cycle.

Capturing a Simple Counter Each Simple Counter has a capture register. A rising edge of the Counter Capture
Bit reads the current counter value and stores it in the register. Only the most cur-
rent value is maintained.

Underflow Overflow
If the Counter Value goes above the Upper Count Limit or below the Lower Count
Limit an Overflow- and Underflow flag will be set respectively. These are reported
in CIO for the corresponding Counter.
On occurrence of an Overflow or Underflow, every Counter can be configured to

report a corresponding error-code. You can use Overflow/Underflow Error-Code
Generation to store Overflow and underflow errors in the EEPROM inside the Unit
(refer to 5-2-3 "Overflow/Underflow errors"). Another reason to use Overflow/
Underflow Error-Code Generation is that you are now able to predefine the status
of the Outputs at the occurrence of an Overflow or Underflow. For this purpose you
should use the Output State Control function (refer to 3-5-4 "Output Control Con-
figuration" for more information).
54
Configuring Upper and The Upper Count Limit must be positive and the Lower Count Limit must be neg-
Lower Count Limits ative (zero is not allowed as Count Limit). To set the Maximum and Minimum
Count Limits refer to the following:
CNT1: CNT2: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Upper Count Limit

Lower Count Limit
Set Upper Count Limit for Linear Counters between 00000001H and 7FFFFFFFH . By default
(=00000000H) the Upper Count Limit is equal to 7FFFFFFFH . Set Lower Count Limit for Linear
Counters between 80000000H and FFFFFFFFH . By default (=00000000) the Lower Count Limit is
equal to 80000000 H.

Input Signal Types Section 3-3
3-3 Input Signal Types

The type of input you require for your application is selected by means of four bits
in the Signal Type Word in DM. For every Counter the Signal Type can be selected
individually.
CNT1: CNT2: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
m+31 m+76
Signal Type:
0 = Phase Differential (multiplication x1)
4 = Up & down
8 = Pulse & Direction
3-3-1 Phase Differential

Phase Differential Signals are connected to the inputs A, B and Z of every Coun-
ter. The count direction is determined by the phase angle between input A and
input B. If signal A leads to B, the counter increments. If signal B leads to A, the
counter decrements.

Multiplication x4
Multiplication x1 By default the Counter is configured for Multiplication by 1. If the counter is up-
counting (signal A leads to signal B) pulses are taken into account by the Counter
on the rising edges of signal A. If the Counter is down-counting pulses are taken
into account on the falling edges of input A.
56
Multiplication x2 To increase the resolution of the incremental encoder the Counter can be config-
ured for Multiplication by 2. If the Counter is up-counting (signal A leads to signal
B) pulses are taken into account by the Counter on the rising- and falling edges of
signal A. If the Counter is down-counting pulses are also taken into account on the
rising- and falling edges of signal A.
Multiplication x4 To further increase the resolution of the incremental encoder Multiplication *4

should be selected. If the Counter is up-counting (signal A leads to signal B)
pulses are taken into account by the Counter on the rising- and falling edges of
signal A and signal B. If the counter is down-counting pulses are also taken into
account on the rising- and falling edges of signal A and B.
Note For Counter Reset options (Z-input included) refer to 3-6 "Reset Signals".
3-3-2 Up & Down

With this Signal Type the Counter increments on the rising edge of pulses applied
to input A and decrements on the rising edge of pulses applied to input B.

3-3-3 Pulse & Direction

In this configuration, count pulses are applied to input A. The direction of counting
is controlled by the level of the signal applied to input B. If input B is high, the
Counter increments on the rising edges of input A. If input B is low, the Counter
decrements on the rising edges of input A.

Assigning multiple Digital The High-speed Counter Unit is equipped with two Digital Inputs allowing every
Inputs to single Counters Counter to be controlled by a Digital Input. For applications that require a Counter
to be controlled by more than one Digital Input, multiple Digital Inputs (i) can be
assigned to a Counter (i 2). Digital Inputs can only be assigned to single
Counters. Consequently, if all Digital Inputs are assigned to one Counter, they are
not available any more for the other Counters.

Digital Input 1 Counter 'c'
c = 1 or 2
Note Every Digital Input can be configured to generate an Interrupt to the CPU. For
details refer to 4-6-2 "Digital Inputs Generating Interrupts".
Digital Input Functions Furthermore, the function of every Digital Input can be selected from one out of 17
available functions. Every function performs its unique action on the Counter to
which it is assigned. The action can be performed on the rising or on the falling
edge of the Digital Input signal. Depending on the requirements of your application
you must select the corresponding Function. By default no function is assigned to
the Digital Inputs and no action is performed on a rising or falling edge of the Dig-
ital Input signal (only the status of the Digital Input is reported in CIO).

Note Every Digital Input can be configured to generate an Interrupt to the CPU. For
details refer to 4-6-2 "Digital Inputs Generating Interrupts".
Gate Function The Gate Function should be assigned to a Digital Input in case you want to use
that Digital Input as a Gate. When the Gate is open, the Counter is able to count
pulses. When the Gate is closed, the Counter will not count pulses. The Positive
Gate Function (01) results in an open Gate when the level of the signal applied to
the Digital Input is high and a closed Gate when the level of the signal applied to
the Digital Input is low. For the Negative Gate Function (02) the same functionality
is applied to the Counter for inverted signals.

Gate Bit". At a simultaneous rising edge of both bits, the state of the Gate is unchanged.
Note Initially, at power up or restart of the Unit, for all counter types (i.e. Simple-, Circu-
lar-, and Linear Counters) the Gate is closed and counting is disabled. In order to
enable counting you must open the Gate first.
Preset Function A Digital Input configured to have Preset functionality will preset the Counter with
the Preset Value on a rising edge (Preset Rising Edge, Function 03) or falling edge
(Preset Falling Edge, Function 04) of the Digital Input signal. This will cause the
Counter Value to be overwritten with the Preset Value.

Capture Function A Digital Input configured to have Capture functionality will capture the current
Counter Value into the Capture Register on a rising edge (Capture Rising Edge,
Function 07) or falling edge (Capture Falling Edge, Function 08) of the Digital Input
signal. The Unit is equipped with a Capture Register for every Counter. Every time
that a Counter Value is captured the contents of the Capture Register are over-
written with the new Captured Value and the old Captured Value is lost.

specified location in the memory of the PLC. For more details on using the IORD-
instruction and reading the Captured Value refer to 4-4 "IORD-Instruction".
Stop, Capture and Continue A Digital Input configured to have Stop, Capture and Continue functionality will
Stop the Counter (= close the Gate) and Capture the current Counter Value into
the Capture Register on a rising edge of the signal applied to the Digital Input
(Stop, Capture and Continue, Function 09). On the next falling edge the Counter
will continue counting (= open the Gate). For the Stop, Capture and Continue

Bits 0 and 1 correspond to the Physical Digital Inputs I0 and I1.
The above-mentioned Digital Input Status Word reflects the status of all Digital
Inputs. However, very short pulses on the Digital Inputs (shorter than the PLC-
cycle or shorter than the time the Data Transfer Busy bit is ON for IOWR-instruc-
tion execution), may not be seen in the Digital Status Word.
Action Status The Preset, Reset and Capture actions can be detected via CIO. Each action has
a corresponding bit which is ON for exactly one PLC-cycle-time after the occur-
rence of that action. You can use these bits in the Ladder Program to take the
appropriate action.
Z-Input Status For each counter the Z-input status is reflected in CIO. The bit is ON for ecactly
one PLC-cycle-time after the Z-input has been activated.

3-5 Output Control

Output Control Mode The 32 Outputs (2 external and 30 internal) of the High-speed Counter Unit can be
controlled automatically in two ways:
Range Mode. In Range Mode you can define up to a maximum of 32 Ranges
per Counter. The Outputs are controlled according to the Counter Value being
within Range Limits. For a detailed description about Range Mode refer to 3-5-
1 "Range Mode".
Comparison Mode. In Comparison Mode you can define up to a maximum of
32 Comparison Values per Counter. The Outputs are controlled according to
the direction in which the Counter Value crosses the Comparison Value. For a
detailed description about Comparison Mode refer to 3-5-2 "Comparison
Mode".
If the Unit is configured for Range Mode all two Counters will operate in Range
Mode. If the Unit is configured for Comparison Mode all two Counters will operate
in Comparison Mode.
Besides automatically, the Digital Outputs can also be controlled manually (refer
to 3-5-3 "Manual Output Control").

Unit Output Pattern Both in Range and Comparison Mode the 32 Outputs of the Unit are represented
by the Unit Output Pattern. The Unit uses the Unit Output Pattern internally to con-
trol the Outputs. The Unit Output Pattern consists of 30 Soft (internal) Outputs and
2 Digital Outputs. The two Digital Outputs represent the Physical Outputs O0 and
O1 of the Unit.

Digital Outputs 0 and 1 correspond with the Physical Digital Outputs O0 and O1.
Output Status The status of the Digital Outputs is reflected by their corresponding bits in CIO and
can be used as event flags in the Ladder Program. The Soft Outputs for instance
can be used in the Ladder Program to control outputs of an external Digital Output
Unit.

3-5-1 Range Mode

If the Unit is configured to control the Outputs in Range Mode, this Mode can be
applied to Circular Counters or Linear Counters (refer to 3-2-2 "Circular Counter"
and 3-2-3 "Linear Counter" for more information).

In this example four Ranges are specified. The configuration data of the Counter
shows that:
Output 0 must be ON for Counter Values within Range 0.
Output 1 and 3 must be ON for Counter Values within Range 1.
Output 2 must be ON for Counter Values within Range 2.
Both of the Outputs 0 and 3 must be ON for Counter Values within Range 3.
In the above example the Counter Value is within Range 1 and 3 and consequently
the Outputs 0, 1 and 3 are turned ON.

3-5-1-2 Configuration and operation in Range Mode

Specifying Range-Data In Range Mode every Counter can be assigned up to a maximum of 32 Ranges.
The Data of every Range is contained by 3 double words:
Lower Range Limit, specifying the Lower Limit of the Range
Upper Range Limit, specifying the Upper Limit of the Range
Output Pattern, specifying which Outputs have to be activated when that
Range is active
The Counter Type (Circular or Linear) determines the range in which the Upper
and Lower Limits can be set. For Circular Counters this range is 00000000H-
FFFFFFFFH and for Linear Counters this range is 80000000H-7FFFFFFFH. For
Linear Counters the Upper Range Limit must be greater than the Lower Range
Limit. The Unit will generate an error if the Upper Range Limit Lower Range Limit
(refer to 5-2 "Error codes" for more details). For Circular Counters, the Upper
Range Limit can be set lower than the Lower Range Limit.
To configure a Counter in Range Mode for every Range that you want to use the
Range-Data must be set. Each data-item is specified by two words (=32 bits). For
the exact memory location to set the Range-Data refer to 4-2-1 "Memory Map-
ping".

Output Pattern
31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16
In the Output Pattern the Outputs are represented by:
= Digital Outputs 0-1

(corresponding with Physical Digital Outputs O0 and O1)
= Soft Outputs 2-31
In the Output Pattern of the Range every single Output can be configured to turn
ON when that Range is active. To configure an Output to turn ON you must set the
corresponding bit to 1. If multiple Ranges of a Counter are active at the same time,
the Output Patterns of those Ranges are logically ORed to become the Output
Pattern of that Counter.
Note 1. The Counter Range-Data can also be changed during actual operation using
the IOWR-instruction. Refer to 4-3 "IOWR-Instruction" for more details.
2. In Range Mode it is possible to apply Hysteresis to Ranges in order to prevent
Digital Outputs from toggling due to unwanted oscillating of an encoder. Refer
to 3-7-3 "Hysteresis" for detailed information.
3. Precautions When Setting Range Data
Comparison Stoppage during Comparison of Ranges
The comparison operation stops for 1.5 ms from when the High-speed
Counter Value falls within the Upper Range Limit or Lower Range Limit for
70
the Range Data. However, the comparison does not stop for other
Counters.
Set the Range Data considering the time when the comparison is stopped.
For example, for the Range table shown in the following diagram, approxi-
mately 4.8 counts occur during 1.5 ms when a 3.2 kHz pulse is input. This
means that comparison does not occur for Counter Values 101, 102, 103,
and 104. During this period, the Output set under the Output Pattern does
not turn ON even if the Counter Value is within the Range Data range.
Comparison starts again after this 1.5 ms has elapsed.

Comparison Stoppage When IOWR and IORD-instructions Executed
Comparison is stopped during the execution of IOWR/IORD-instructions
and remains stopped until the processing of the instruction has been com-
pleted. The Data Transfer Busy bit is ON during this time.
This stopping of comparison during the execution of IOWR/IORD-instruc-
tions affects Counter comparisons for all counters.
Set the Range Data considering that comparisons are stopped by execution
of IOWR/IORD-instructions.
Refer to Appendix E "IORF and IOWR/IORD-instruction Execution Times" for
information on execution times for IOWR/IORD-instructions.

1 = Range not Active
Range Active: Lower Range Limit Counter Value Upper Range Limit
Range not Active: Counter Value < Lower Range Limit

Note Lower Range Limit = Upper Range Limit can be set under the Range conditions.
Enabling and Disabling of Every single Range can be enabled or disabled. If a Range is disabled (by default)
Ranges its Output Pattern will be ignored in the Unit Output Pattern calculation. If a Range
is enabled the Output Pattern of that Range will be applied to the Output Pattern
of the corresponding Counter when that Range becomes active. To Enable/Disa-
ble Ranges of Counters refer to the following:
CNT1: CNT2: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

m+58 m+103 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16
Range Enable Data:
= Range 0-31 0 = Range Disabled
1 = Range Enabled
Note Enabling/Disabling of Ranges can also be done on the fly by using IOWR-instruc-
tions. Refer to 4-3 "IOWR-Instruction" for more details.
Logically AND/OR Counter If the Unit is in Range mode, the Output Patterns of the two Counters are (by
Output Patterns default) logically ORd and consecutively applied to the Unit Output Pattern.
Depending on the requirements of your application you can also choose to AND
the Counter Output Patterns before they are applied to the Unit Output Pattern.
If multiple Counters are used together to control an application, you have the
option to logically AND or OR the Counter Output Patterns to become the Unit
Output Pattern. In this way it is possible to turn Outputs ON or OFF depending on
Ranges being active of multiple Counters. For instance, it is possible to turn an
Output ON when both a Range of Counter 1 and a Range of Counter 2 are active.
To configure the Unit to AND the Counter Output Patterns refer to the following.
General Setting: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
m
AND/OR Counter Output Patterns:
0 = Logically OR Counter Output Patterns
1 = Logically AND Counter Output Patterns
72
Note The Counter Output Patterns of Counters which are configured to use no (i.e.
zero) Ranges, are ignored in the AND-calculation of the Unit Output Pattern. Like
this, Counters that you do not want to use, do not influence the AND-calculation of
the Unit Output Pattern. If both the Counters are configured to use no Ranges, the
output patterns for both outputs will be all OFF.
3-5-2 Comparison Mode

If the Unit is configured to control the Outputs in Comparison Mode, this Mode can
be applied to Circular Counters or Linear Counters (refer to 3-2-2 "Circular Coun-
ter" and 3-2-3 "Linear Counter" for more information).

In this example 7 Comparison Values are specified. On reaching a Comparison

Value an Output can be Set or Reset depending on the crossing direction. If the
CV is crossed in the positive counting direction (+CV crossing) or negative count-
73
ing direction (-CV crossing), one or multiple Outputs can be Set (S) or Reset (R).
For example Output 0 is Set on crossing CV5 in the positive counting direction and
Reset on crossing CV7 in the negative counting direction. The crossing of CV3 in
the positive counting direction results in the Setting of Output 2 and the Resetting
of Output 1.

3-5-2-2 Configuration and operation in Comparison Mode

Specifying Comparison- In Comparison Mode every Counter can be assigned up to a maximum of 32 Com-
Data parison Values. The Data of every Comparison Value (CV-Data) is contained by 5
double words:
Comparison Value (can be set between 80000000H 7FFFFFFFH for a Linear
Counter and between 00000000H FFFFFFFFH for a Circular Counter)
Output Set Pattern for the positive counting direction (+Set Pattern CVn),
specifying which Outputs must be Set on reaching that CV in the positive
counting direction (0 = No Change, 1 = Set Output)
Output Reset Pattern for the positive counting direction (+Reset Pattern
CVn), specifying which Outputs must be Reset on reaching that CV in the
positive counting direction (0 = No Change, 1 = Reset Output)
Output Set Pattern for the negative counting direction (-Set Pattern CVn),
specifying which Outputs must be Set on reaching that CV in the negative
counting direction (0 = No Change, 1 = Set Output)
Output Reset Pattern for the negative counting direction (-Reset Pattern
CVn), specifying which Outputs must be Reset on reaching that CV in the
negative counting direction (0 = No Change, 1 = Reset Output)
To configure a Counter in Comparison Mode for every Comparison Value that you
want to use the CV-Data must be set. Each data-item is specified by two words
(=32 bits). For the exact memory location of the CV-Data, refer to 4-2-1 "Memory
Mapping".

Note Precautions When Setting Comparison Data

Comparison Stoppage When Comparison Target Reached
When the High-speed Counter Value reaches the target value for Comparison
Data, comparison stops for 1.5 ms. However, comparison for other counters
does not stop.
Set the Comparison Data considering the time when the comparison is
stopped.
For example, for the Comparison table shown in the following diagram, approx-
imately 4.8 counts occur during 1.5 ms when a 3.2 kHz pulse is input. This
means that comparison does not occur for Counter Values 101, 102, 103, and
104. During this period, the Output set under the Output Pattern does not turn
ON.
Comparison starts again after this 1.5 ms has elapsed.
At this time, the processing returns to the stoppage period and Comparison
Data 1 and 2 are executed at the same time.

Comparison is stopped for 1.5 ms.

Counter Value Outputs set under the Output Pattern will not turn ON

Value Target Value.
Comparison Stoppage for IOWR- and IORD-instruction Execution
Comparison is stopped during the execution of IOWR/IORD-instructions and
remains stopped until the processing of the instruction has been completed.
The Data Transfer Busy bit is ON during this time.
This stopping of comparison during the execution of IOWR/IORD-instructions
affects Counter comparisons for all counters.
In contrast to Range Data, comparison occurs once during the stoppage
period after the Data Transfer Busy bit turns OFF.
However, when Comparison Data is rewritten using an IOWR-instruction, the
Comparison Result is refreshed using the new Comparison Data and the cur-
rent Counter Value, which means the result of the comparison during the stop-
page is not reflected.
information on execution times for IOWR/IORD-instructions.
Note 1. Multiple Comparison Values of a specific Counter may not have the same
value. The Unit will generate an error if multiple CVs have the same value
(refer to 5-2 "Error codes" for more details).
2. CV-Data can also be changed on the fly. Refer to 4-3 "IOWR-Instruction" for
more details.
3. The Digital Outputs are Set/Reset in the chronological order of reaching the
CVs. After reaching a (new) CV the (old) Unit Output Pattern is updated.
77
4. In case for a CV both a Set and a Reset in one and the same counting direction
for a specific Output are defined, the Reset has priority.
5. The output can be set to Set, Reset, or No Change when a target value is
reached both for incrementing and decrementing. Each time, the output pattern
for both counters will change in the order targets are reached.
6. Do not change the counting direction quickly near a target value. If the direction
is changed near a CV, the direction in which the target was reached (increment-
ing or decrementing) may be incorrectly detected.
Reflecting Active / Not A Comparison Value becomes active if the Counter Value is greater than or equal
Active Comparison Values to that Comparison Value. Whether or not a CV is active is reflected in CIO for
each Counter.

Active Comparison Values:

1 = Comparison Value not Active
Comparison Value Active: Counter Value Comparison Value

Comparison Value not Active: Counter Value < Comparison Value
Note Each time a CV is crossed (in positive or negative counting direction) an Output
can be Set, Reset or remain Unchanged. In this way, every Counter is able to
change the Unit Output Pattern. Therefore, the Unit Output Pattern is updated by
all four Counters in the chronological order of crossing the CVs.
Enable / Disable Every single CV can be enabled or disabled. If a CV is disabled (by default) no
Comparison Values action will be taken on reaching that CV. If a CV is enabled, depending on the
direction of counting, the Set/Reset Output Patterns will be applied to the Unit Out-
put Pattern on reaching that CV. To Enable/Disable CVs of Counters refer to the
following:

1 = Comparison Value Enabled
Note Enabling/Disabling of CVs can also be done on the fly by using IOWR-instruc-
tions. Refer to 4-3 "IOWR-Instruction" for more details.
78
Updating Unit Output Besides by crossing CVs the Unit Output Pattern can also be updated by a Preset
Pattern with Preset or Reset or a Reset action. To trigger a Preset or Reset action refer to 3-4 "Digital Input
Action Functions" and 3-6 "Reset Signals". Every Preset or Reset Action will then update
the Unit Output Pattern according to the predefined Output Set and Output Reset
Patterns. You can define an Output to be Set, Reset or remain Unchanged (similar
as on reaching a Comparison Value).

Control cally or manually. Automatic control of the Digital Outputs results in the automatic
update of the Unit Output Pattern. The Unit Output Pattern will then be updated
according to the Mode for which the Unit is configured (Range Mode or Compar-
ison Mode). By default (=0) the Unit is configured for Automatic Output Control.
To control the Physical Outputs (0-1) manually, Manual Output Control must be
selected by setting the Automatic/Manual Output Control Bit to 1. Now it is possi-
ble to force ON and OFF the Physical Digital Outputs by setting and resetting the
corresponding bits respectively. Manual Output Control can be used for test pur-
poses (wiring) when the Unit is being installed.

NPN or PNP Output Driver Every single Digital Output (0-1) can be used in a NPN- or PNP-configuration
depending on your application needs. By setting the corresponding bit in DM a
selection can be made between a NPN- or PNP Output Driver. By default the NPN
Output Driver is selected.

Output State Control The state control of the 32 Outputs, in case the operating mode of the PLC-CPU
is changed from RUN/MONITOR PROGRAM, an I/O Bus error or an Overflow/
Underflow error occurs, can be configured. By default (=0) the Unit will continue to
update the state of the Outputs automatically according to the mode in which the
Unit is (Range Mode or Comparison Mode). You can also choose to freeze the
state of the Outputs (=1) in which case the last state of the Outputs, as they were
just before the operating mode is changed or just before an I/O Bus- or Overflow/
Underflow error occurs, is applied to the Outputs. If you choose to predefine the
state of the Outputs (=2), an Output pattern can be (pre-) defined that will be
applied to the Outputs when the operating mode is changed or when an I/O Bus-
or Overflow/Underflow error occurs.

Extra Functions Section 3-7
3-7 Extra Functions

3-7-1 Programmable Output Pulses
Depending on the requirements of your application, the timing characteristics of
the two Digital Outputs of the High-speed Counter Unit can be modified. The Unit
can be either in Range Mode or in Comparison Mode. The following functionality
can be assigned to the Digital Outputs:
Normal Functionality (= default)
Output Turn ON Delay [1 ms to 9999 ms], to delay turning ON an Output
Output Pulse Duration [1 ms to 9999 ms], to generate an Output pulse of a
specified duration
Combination of Output Turn ON Delay + Output Pulse Duration
The corresponding action is triggered by a rising edge of the Output (0-1) of the
Unit Output Pattern and consequently applied to the corresponding Digital Output.

Normal Functionality A Digital Output that is configured to have Normal Functionality will turn ON imme-
diately after the corresponding bit of the Unit Output Pattern turns ON.
Output Pulse ON-Delay A Digital Output that is configured to have an Output Pulse ON-Delay will turn ON
after the ON-Delay has elapsed.
Output Pulse Duration A Digital Output that is configured to have an Output Pulse Duration turns ON
immediately and will stay ON for the specified Pulse Duration. After the Pulse
Duration has elapsed the Digital Output turns OFF.
83
Note The status of the Outputs is reflected in CIO (words n+14, n+15). If a Digital Out-
put is configured to have Programmable Output Pulse functionality, the actual
physical status of the Output (Turn ON Delay and/or Pulse Duration included) is
reflected in the corresponding bit in CIO.

m+10 m+12
Output Pulse Duration:

0001-9999(BCD) = Output Pulse Duration in milliseconds
Note 1. A Digital Output to which an Output ON-Delay or Output Pulse is applied will
turn OFF immediately after the corresponding Output (0-1) of the Output Pat-
tern has turned OFF. An Output Pulse ON-Delay or Output Pulse Duration in
progress will be reset immediately and the Digital Output is turned OFF or stays
OFF.
2. If an Output is switched ON manually (refer to 3-5-3 "Manual Output Control")
and Programmable Output Pulse functionality has been assigned to that Out-
put, then this functionality will not be applied to the Output. Instead, the Output
is switched ON immediately.
3.When applying an Output Pulse to a turn OFF a Digital Output, the output will
appear to be OFF, but internally it will be treated as ON until it is reset when the
range conditions are met or target is matched. If an attempt is made to set the
output, the system will assume that it is already ON and it will remain OFF. Par-
ticularly with target values, configure reset conditions for output carefully.
3-7-2 Rate Measurement

For every Counter the Rate of the incoming pulses can be measured, for Units
either in Range Mode or Comparison Mode. The measured Rate Values can be
used in the Ladder Program for Frequency or Rotational Speed calculations or for
monitoring purposes. Additionally, for every Counter two Rate Ranges can be con-
figured, both consisting of a Lower- and Upper Rate Range Limit. For every Rate
Range an Output Set & Reset Pattern can be defined to control all 32 outputs
accordingly. Set/Reset actions as defined in this Output Set & Reset Pattern to
control the Outputs, overrule the Unit Output Pattern for the corresponding Out-
puts. This allows you to detect too high or too low frequencies (and speeds) and
enables you to control the Outputs accordingly.
84
Rate Value Calculation If you want to use Rate Measurement for a Counter you must start by defining the
Time Window. You can set the Time Window between 1 ms and 9999 ms, in steps
of 1 ms (BCD). The number of pulses which are received during the Time Window
are automatically calculated by subtracting the Counter Value at the beginning of
the Time Window from the Counter Value at the end of the Time Window.
Count Pulses
T0 T1 T2
Time Base
Time Window Time Window
Current Current
Current
Counter Value (T0) Counter Value (T1)
Counter Value (T2)
Rate Value 1 = CCV ( T1) - CCV (T0)

Rate Value 2 = CCV ( T2) - CCV (T1)
...
Rate Value n = CCV ( Tn) - CCV (T(n-1))
CCV = Current Counter Value

Time Window = [1, 9999 ms]
Rate Measurement can be done for all Input Signal Types (refer to 3-3 "Input Sig-
nal Types"). Calculating the Rate Value in this way implies that a change of the
counting direction during the Time-Window is reflected in the Rate Value. For illus-
tration refer to the next example:
The Counter Value (T0) at the beginning of the Time-Window is +5. During the
Time-Window 5 up counts and 15 down counts are received. The Counter Value
(T1) at the end of the Time-Window will then be 5. The Rate Value is 10.
Note 1. For Phase Differential Signals (multiplication x2 and x4) pulses are counted on
both edges of A or both edges of A and B respectively. If you want to calculate
the pulse Rate Value for these signals, you must divide the measured Rate Val-
ues by 2 and 4 respectively.
2. The pulse rate after presetting or resetting a counter will be the pulse rate cal-
culated just prior to presetting or resetting.
3. Calculations will be correct when a Ring Counter rolls over (goes from maxi-
mum value to 0 or from 0 to maximum value).
4. The measurement interval normally varies by 125 s and can vary by a maxi-
mum of 1 ms. If this variation becomes a problem, it is recommended that the
pulse rate value be averaged in the ladder program.
85
Rate History Log File The Rate Values, which are calculated during consecutive Time Windows, are
stored in the Rate History Log File inside the Unit. The Rate History Log File can
contain a maximum number of 64 most recent Rate Values.
Rate History Log File:
Oldest Rate Value Rate Value 1

Rate Value 2
Rate Value 3
Youngest Rate Value Rate Value R R <= 64
(The Rate Values occupy 2 words each)
The Rate Values can be read into your Ladder Program for further usage, by issu-
ing an IORD-instruction. Like this, one or multiple Rate Values (with a maximum of
64) can be read. If you specify to read only one Rate Value the youngest Rate
Value will be returned. If the Rate History Log File is full a new (youngest) Rate
Value will overwrite the oldest Rate Value. Refer to 4-5-3-2 "Rate History Log File
data" for detailed information.
Frequency Measurement After the Rate Value is read into the Ladder Program this value can be used to cal-
culate the Frequency [Hz] of the applied signals. The Frequency of the incoming
pulses can be calculated by using the following formula:
Rate Value
Frequency [Hz] =
Time-Window [s]
If for example the Time-Window is set to 2 seconds (= 2000 ms) and during the
Time-Window 20,000 up counts are received (i.e. Rate Value = 20,000) the corre-
sponding Frequency is 10,000 Hz.
Rotational Speed After the Rate Value is read into the Ladder Program this value can also be used
Measurement to calculate the Rotational Speed [rpm]. The Rotational Speed can indicate the
speed of a motor in rotations per minute [rpm]. The Rotational Speed can be cal-
culated by using the following formula:
Rate Value 60
Rotational Speed [rpm] =
Encoder Resolution [P/R] Time-Window [s]
If you want to calculate the Rotational Speed you need to know the number of
Pulses per motor or encoder revolution [P/R]. If for example the Time-Window is
set to 1 second (= 1000 ms), the Encoder Resolution is 2,000 P/R and during the
Time-Window 50,000 up counts are received (i.e. Rate Value = 50,000) the corre-
sponding Rotational Speed is 1,500 rpm.
86
Configuring Rate Rate Measurement can be configured by setting the Time-Window between 1 ms
Measurement and 9999 ms (BCD). By default (=0) the Counters are configured to have no Rate
Measurement.

Time-Window:
0000(BCD) = No Rate Measurement
0001-9999(BCD) = Time-Window in milliseconds
Rate Ranges Besides the capability to measure (positive and negative) Rate Values for every
Counter two Rate Ranges (Rate Range 0 and 1) can be configured. The Rate
Ranges offer you the opportunity to undertake specific action (i.e. control the Unit
Output Pattern) when the measured Rate Values have entered a Rate Range.
Rate Ranges can represent Frequency Ranges or Rotational Speed Ranges,
making it possible to undertake action at (too high or too low Alarm) Frequencies
or Rotational Speeds.

Rate Range 0 Lower Limit
Rate Range 1 Upper Limit

The Data of every Rate Range is contained by 4 double words:

Lower Rate Range Limit, specifying the Lower Rate Limit of the Rate Range
Upper Rate Range Limit, specifying the Upper Rate Limit of the Rate Range
Output Set Pattern, specifying which Outputs must be Set if the measured
Rate Value is within the Lower- and Upper Rate Range Limits
Output Reset Pattern, specifying which Outputs must be Reset if the meas-
ured Rate Value is within the Lower- and Upper Rate Range Limits
The Upper Rate Range Limit must be greater than the Lower Rate Range Limit.
The Unit will generate an error if the Upper Rate Range Limit Lower Rate Range
Limit (refer to 5-2 "Error codes" for more details). Every Rate Range can be ena-
bled or disabled. If a Rate Range is disabled (by default) no action will be taken
when the Rate Range becomes active. If a Rate Range is enabled the Set & Reset
87
Output Pattern of that Rate Range will be applied to the Unit Output Pattern when
that Rate Range becomes active.
Reflecting Active / Not A Rate Range becomes active if: Lower Rate Range Limit Rate Value Upper
Active Rate Ranges Rate Range Limit. Whether or not a Rate Range is active is reflected in CIO for
each Counter.

3-7-3 Hysteresis
An encoder can come to rest at a particular position and then oscillate around
this position. This state means that the Counter Value fluctuates around a partic-
ular value. If, for example, a Range Limit is in this area of fluctuation, the corre-
sponding Range would become active and inactive in the rhythm of these
fluctuations. To prevent outputs from being switched ON and OFF by very small
fluctuations, the High-speed Counter Unit offers the Hysteresis Function that can
be configured for every Counter separately. You can assign Hysteresis in a range
from 1 to 255 counts (= 0001H 00FFH) from which the Counter treats the fluctu-
ation in the Counter Input Signal as a real change and outputs can be controlled
accordingly.

ison Values.
2. Do not set the origin (i.e., a present value of 0) within the Hysteresis-Area.
3. If the Counter is Preset, turn OFF the Hysteresis. If the Counter is Preset in the
Hysteresis-Area, the Outputs will not be controlled correctly.

3-7-5 Initial Counter Value

Every Counter is equipped with the Initial Counter Value (double word) in DM. At
a transfer of the DM-settings from the CPU to the Unit (triggered by a Power Up or
Restart of the Unit) the Initial Counter Value is also transferred. The Initial Counter
Value overwrites the Counter Value and becomes the new Counter Value.
The Initial Counter Value is very useful in case the Power of the PLC-system fails.
If the Power of the PLC-system fails, the application that is controlled by the High-
speed Counter Unit will come to rest, and the Counter Values will be reset to zero.
After the system has been Powered Up again, the application has to be reset,
since it has lost the position data with the resetting of the Counter Values.
To overcome this trouble, the Power OFF Interrupt Task of the PLC can be used to
detect the failing system Power. You can use this Power OFF Interrupt Task to pro-
gram a transfer of the Counter Values of every Counter (in CIO) to the correspond-
ing Initial Counter Value of that Counter in DM. The data in DM is retained when
the Power is OFF. Therefore, Powering Up the system again, results in a transfer
of the DM-settings from the CPU to the Unit and the Counter Value is overwritten
by the Initial Counter Value, allowing your application to continue from where it
was at the moment of failing Power.

Initial Count Value:
Set between 00000000H and FFFFFFFFH (Circular Counter)
Set between 80000000H and 7FFFFFFFH (Linear Counter)
By default the Initial Count Value is equal to 0.
Note 1. The Power OFF Interrupt Task that takes care of saving the Counter Values to
the Initial Counter Values can also be used to detect a Power OFF that has
been done on purpose.
2. The Initial Counter Value can also be set, independent of a Power Failure, to
load the Counter Value with an Initial Value instead of zero.
3. The Present Value stored by the interrupt task must be used considering the
possibility of a power interrupt to the Encoder and interrupt processing execu-
tion timing.

4-1 Overview
4-1-1 Basic Setup
The status information of the High-speed Counter Unit is exchanged with the CPU

data is exchanged at Power ON or after the Unit has been restarted or after issu-
ing the IOWR-instruction (Re) Configure Unit (refer to 4-5-3-4 "(Re) Configure

Special I/O Unit Area and The Special I/O Unit Area and the Special I/O Unit DM Area are allocated to the
Special I/O Unit DM Area Unit according to the Machine Number (=N) set. For the Special I/O Unit Area 40
CIO words are allocated and for the Special I/O Unit DM Area 400 DM words are
allocated. For more information on the exact memory location of the Special I/O
Unit and Special I/O Unit DM Areas and the Machine Numbers that can be set,
refer to 2-1-4 "Machine Number Switch".
Unit Status Data The Special I/O Unit Area contains the status information of the High-speed Coun-
ter Unit in CIO and is divided in an area with output words and an area with input
words. Both areas are divided in three parts: a general part and two Counter spe-
cific parts, and these are updated cyclically every I/O refresh.
Unit Configuration Data The Unit configuration data is located in the Special I/O Unit DM Area, which is
allocated to the High-speed Counter Unit, and the Range/Comparison Data. The
Mode for which the Unit is configured determines if you have to set Range or Com-
parison Data (refer to 3-5-1 "Range Mode" and 3-5-2 "Comparison Mode" for
more information). The location of the Range/Comparison Data is indicated by an
Indirect Address that you have to specify for every Counter (refer to 4-2-2 "Indirect
Addressing" for detailed information).
The Special I/O Unit DM Area contains the configuration settings of the High-
speed Counter Unit. It is divided in three parts: a general part and two Counter
specific parts. The general part contains the settings that are relevant for the
whole Unit and the Counter specific parts contain the settings that are relevant to
the specific Counters.
The Unit Configuration Data is transferred to the High-speed Counter Unit at

Power Up or after the Unit has been restarted (refer to 4-1-2 "Special I/O Units
Restart bits").
Note The Unit configuration data can also be transferred during actual operation of
the Unit, by issuing an IOWR-instruction (refer to 4-5-3-4 "(Re) Configure
Unit").
I/O Refresh will not occur while the Data Transfer Busy bit (CIO n+19, bit 02) is
ON. For example, the Counter Value will not be refreshed while the bit is ON.
95
4-1-2 Special I/O Units Restart bits

By turning the Unit Restart Bit from OFF to ON the Unit can be restarted. Restart-
ing the Unit can be used to transfer the Unit configuration settings (e.g. after cor-
rection of an error) from the CPU to the Unit.

Note The Range/Comparison Data blocks that are allocated to the Counters do not
necessarily have to be consecutive and can be in any area of DM/EM. In case
they overlap the Unit reports this in CIO as a warning, but does not generate an
error. This makes it possible to define only one block with Range/Comparison
97
data and to use this data for all two Counters by using two identical indirect
addresses (k1=k2).

4-2-2 Indirect Addressing

The High-speed Counter Unit can be in Range Mode or Comparison Mode (refer
to 3-5-1 "Range Mode" and 3-5-2 "Comparison Mode" for more information). The
Range or Comparison Data is allocated in the Extended Memory Area (EM) or in
the Data Memory Area (DM). An Indirect Address, that you can set for every Coun-
ter in the Special I/O Unit DM Area, points to the actual memory location in DM or
EM where the Range or Comparison Data of that Counter is stored.
Note It is also possible to use the free DM, in the Special I/O Unit DM Area that is allo-
cated to the High-speed Counter Unit, to store the Range/Comparison Data.
There are 287 free DM-words (=399-113), so you can store data of up to 47
Ranges or 28 Comparison Values.
Unit in Range Mode In Range Mode Indirect Addressing can be used to define the Ranges per Counter
that you want to use. The number of Ranges (M) defines the size of the Range
Data block (size = M x 6 words). If you want to use multiple Ranges you are rec-
ommended to use consecutive Ranges starting from Range 0 (i.e. Range 0, 1, 2,
3 M - 1) in order to save memory occupation.

* Assumed that M 0. By default M=0 which means that no Ranges will be used.
Note If you do not want the Ranges to be consecutive and only intend to use two
Ranges (e.g. Range 0 and Range 15) then you still have to define the number of
Ranges (M) to be 16. In order to prevent configuration errors from happening you
should make sure that the data of Ranges 1 to 14 is also valid, although you do not
intend to use Range 1 to 14.
98
Unit in Comparison Mode In Comparison Mode Indirect Addressing can be used to define the Comparison
Values per Counter that you want to use. The number of CVs (M) defines the size
of the CV Data block (size = M x 10 words). If you want to use multiple CVs you
are recommended to use consecutive CVs starting from CV 0 (i.e. CV 0, 1, 2, 3
M - 1) in order to save memory occupation.

* Assumed that M 0. By default M=0 which means that no CVs will be used.
Note If you do not want the Comparison Values to be consecutive and only intend to use
two CVs (e.g. CV 0 and CV 15) then you still have to define the number of CVs
(M) to be 16. In order to prevent configuration errors from happening you should
make sure that the data of CVs 1 to 14 is also valid, although you do not intend to
use CV 1 to 14.
Configuring Indirect Indirect Addressing with the Unit in Range or Comparison Mode is specified in the
Addressing Special I/O Unit DM Area for every Counter. You must specify the memory area
(EM/DM) and the address (00000 to 32760) of the first word where the Range/CV
data is to be stored. Like this you are able to specify any address that is available
in EM or DM. By specifying the number of Ranges or Comparison Values per
Counter you determine the number of words with Range/CV data that are allo-
cated for every Counter. For every Range 6 words and for every Comparison
Value 10 words are allocated.
99
The Range/Comparison Data, as part of the Unit configuration data, is transferred

to the Unit at Power Up or after the Unit has been restarted.

The Data Transfer Busy bit (CIO n+19, bit 02) is ON when the Unit is busy com-
pleting an IOWR/IORD-instruction or being initialised. When this bit is OFF the
Unit is ready to execute the IOWR-instruction. If an error occurs during the execu-
tion of the IOWR-instruction the ER-flag turns ON. The Data Transfer Completion
bit (CIO n+19, bit 03) is toggled every time that data transfer is completed. The
Global Error bit (CIO n+19, bit 00) turns ON when the Unit detects any error that
causes this bit to be set (refer to 5-2 "Error codes").
Note If you omit to include the Data Transfer Busy bit (CIO n+19, bit 02) in the ladder
instruction and you start issuing an IOWR-instruction while another IOWR/IORD-
instruction is in progress the ER-flag turns ON. Therefore, to guarantee correct
execution of IOWR-instructions, you should always use the ladder diagram struc-
ture as shown above.
The response time for bits allocated to outputs (e.g., Open Gate Bit) will be
delayed while the Data Transfer Busy bit (CIO n+19, bit 02) is ON (e.g., when time
is required to process IOWR or when a Unit is reset). In any case, the bit allocated
to the output will be processed as soon as the Data Transfer Busy bit turns OFF.

Note Data written with the IOWR instruction is valid only until the Unit is restarted or
the power supply is turned OFF. The settings in the DM and EM Area in the CPU
Unit will be used after the next time the Unit is restarted or power is turned ON. If
the settings made with IOWR instruction need to be used after the Unit is
restarted or power is cycled, write the same settings to the DM and EM Area in
the CPU Unit.
Example:
The High-speed Counter Unit is assigned Machine Number 6. You want to change
the Maximum Count Value of Circular Counter 2. The new Maximum Count Limit
consists of 2 words, is located in Data-Memory at address D0050 and D0051 and

4-5-2 Range- and Comparison data

The Unit can be in Range or Comparison Mode (refer to 3-5-1 "Range Mode" and
3-5-2 "Comparison Mode"). IOWR- and IORD-instructions can be used respec-
tively to change Range/Comparison Data inside the Unit or to read Range/Com-
parison Data from the Unit, during actual operation. Depending on the mode of the
Unit (Range or Comparison mode) the Control Code is interpreted accordingly by
the High-speed Counter Unit.

Note When transferring new Comparison Values to the Unit, be sure that the same
Comparison Value is not used more than once in the same Counter. If the same
Comparison Value exists more than once in the same Counter, an error will
occur when the IOWR-instruction is executed. Refer to 3-5-2-2 "Configuration
and operation in Comparison Mode" and 5-2-2 "IOWR/IORD-instruction errors"
for details.
Range Data If the Unit is in Range Mode for each Counter the Range Data of one or multiple
Ranges can be read from the Unit or written to the Unit. For every Range the
Range Data is contained in 6 words. Every IORD- and IOWR-instruction can
transfer up to a maximum of 128 words. Thus per IORD- or IOWR-instruction you
can read or write Range Data of up to a maximum of 21 Ranges.

In the Control Code, CC1 specifies the Counter number (c = 1 or 2) from which the
Range Data is to be read or written. CC2 specifies the first Range number (00-31).
Depending on the number of Ranges that you want to read the Range Data from
or overwrite with new Range Data, you have to specify the number of words to be
transferred. This number of words is equal to the number of Ranges x 6.
Example: The High-speed Counter Unit, with Machine Number 1, operates in Range Mode
and Counter 2 uses 5 Ranges (Range 00 to Range 04). You want to change the
Range Data of Ranges 03 and 04. The new Range Data, consisting of 12 words

new CV Data, you have to specify the number of words to be transferred. This
number of words is equal to the number of CVs x 10.

4-5-3 Special data

4-5-3-1 Captured Counter Value
The Counter Value can be captured into the Capture Register by using a Digital
Input (Function 07 or 08) or by using the Capture Counter Value bit in CIO (refer
to 3-4 "Digital Input Functions" for more information). For this purpose every
Counter is equipped with a Capture Register inside the High-speed Counter Unit.
If you want to use the captured Counter Value in the PLC ladder program you have
to use the IORD-instruction that reads the value from the Capture Register of the
specific Counter.

Note Reading the Captured Counter Value with IORD is also supported for Simple
Counters (refer to 3-2-1 "Simple Counter").
4-5-3-2 Rate History Log File data

The Rate History Log File, inside the Unit, contains up to a maximum of 64 most
recent Rate Values. If you want to use one or multiple Rate Values from the Rate
History Log File in the PLC ladder program, you have to use an IORD-instruction.
The IORD-instruction returns the specified number of Rate Values starting from
the youngest Rate Value.

4-5-3-4 (Re) Configure Unit

During operation of the Unit (PLC is in RUN/MONITOR-mode), the Unit can be
configured by using the IOWR-instruction from the PLC ladder program. Issuing
the IOWR-instruction from the PLC ladder program results in transferring all the
Unit configuration data to the Unit. The Unit configuration data consists of the data
in the Special I/O Unit DM Area and the Range/Comparison Data.

Example:
The High-speed Counter Unit is assigned Machine Number 2. You want to (re)
configure the Unit by transferring all the configuration settings to the Unit (the PLC
is in RUN/MONITOR-mode).

1. The configuration settings can also be transferred to the Unit by Powering Up

the CJ-series PLC system or by restarting the Unit.
2. The Counter Values remain unchanged after the (Re) Configure Unit instruc-
tion has been sent to the Unit.
!Caution Before you make your ladder program operational, make sure that the IOWR-
instruction (Re) Configure Unit uses valid configuration data. If the Unit configu-
ration data contains invalid settings the Unit will stop operating and report the
error(s).
4-5-3-5 Error Clear Command

The error-codes of errors occurring at the High-speed Counter Unit are stored in
the Unit and are available to you as a Error History Log File (refer to 5-2 "Error
codes" for more details about the error categories that can be distinguished and
filing errors).
The error-codes generated by IORD/IOWR-instruction errors and Interrupt FIFO

Full errors can be cleared by issuing the Error Clear command (EC) with the
IOWR-instruction. After the errors have been cleared, they are still available to you
from the Error History Log File. To troubleshoot errors from other categories refer
to 5-2 "Error codes" for the applicable remedy.

instruction errors that occurred after you have issued the IORD-instruction Cap-
tured Counter Value or the IORD/IOWR-instruction Counter Value to a Simple
Counter.
4-6 Interrupts
The status information of the 2 Digital Inputs and the 32 Outputs is exchanged with
the CJ-series CPU Unit every I/O refresh via the Special I/O Unit Area. The I/O
refresh is executed cyclically at the end of the Ladder Program or can be forced by
I/O refresh instruction. In both cases the CJ-series CPU Unit takes the initiative for
a data-exchange. In order for the High-speed Counter Unit to be able to report the
status information of the 2 Digital Inputs and 32 Outputs to the CJ-series CPU
Unit, independent from the I/O Refresh, all Digital Inputs and Outputs can be con-
figured to generate interrupts. Important events, indicated by a status change of
the Digital Inputs and the Outputs, can thus be reported as quickly as possible to
the CJ-series CPU Unit.
Note External interrupts are supported only by CJ1-H and CJ1M CPU Units. They are
not supported by CJ1 CPU Units. If you want the High-speed Counter Unit to gen-
erate interrupts to activate external interrupt tasks in a CJ1-H CPU Unit, the Coun-
ter Unit must be in one of the five positions immediately to the right of the CJ1-H
CPU Unit on the CPU Rack. If you want the High-speed Counter Unit to generate
interrupts to activate external interrupt tasks in a CJ1M CPU Unit, the Unit must be
in one of the three positions immediately to the right of the CJ1M CPU Unit on the
CPU Rack.
No external interrupt tasks can be activated for CJ1-H or CJ1M CPU Units if the
CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit is in any other position (i.e., 6th Unit posi-
tion or further away from the CJ1-H CPU Unit, or 4th Unit position or further away
from the CJ1M CPU Unit), or if it is on a CJ-series Expansion Rack. All external
interrupt tasks will be disabled in these cases.
128
4-6-1 Outputs Generating Interrupts

Enabling / Disabling The 32 Outputs, divided in 2 Digital Outputs and 30 Soft Outputs, can all be con-
Interrupts figured to generate interrupts to the CJ-series CPU Unit. If an Output is configured
to generate interrupts, an interrupt is issued to the CJ-series CPU Unit at a rising
and at a falling edge of the corresponding bit in the Unit Output Pattern. For this
purpose two external interrupt tasks in the CJ-series CPU Unit are assigned to
every Output. In the external interrupt task you should write an appropriate (lad-
der) program that takes the required action on the occurrence of an interrupt.
You can configure an Output to generate interrupts by setting the corresponding

bit in the Interrupt Enable Data of the Outputs. The Interrupt Enable Data of the
Outputs consists of 32 bits representing the 32 Outputs. By default Outputs are
disabled to generate interrupts.

(corresponding to Physical Digital Outputs O0 and O1)
= Soft Outputs 2-31
0 = Interrupts Disabled
1 = Interrupts Enabled
External Interrupt Task Every Output that is enabled to generate interrupts is assigned two External Inter-
Offset rupt Tasks in the CJ-series CPU Unit. For this purpose all 32 Outputs are assigned
in sequential order to consecutive External Interrupt Tasks starting from Output 0.
By defining an Offset you determine the External Interrupt Task numbers of the
(first two) External Interrupt Tasks that are assigned to Output 0. The remaining 31
Outputs are assigned to the respective External Interrupt Task numbers in
increasing order starting from Offset + 2.

31 Offset + 62 Rising
Offset + 63 Falling
* The assigned External Interrupt Task number is executed at a rising/falling

edge of the corresponding Output bit in the Unit Output Pattern.
For every Output the assigned External Interrupt Task number can be calculated
with the following formula (O = Output):
Assigned External Interrupt Task Number to the

rising edge of the Output bit is equal to: Offset + 2xO
falling edge of the Output bit is equal to: Offset + 2xO+1
For a complete overview of all External Interrupt Task numbers to be assigned to

the Outputs, refer to Appendix BAppendix B "Assigning External Interrupt Tasks to
Outputs".

m+1
Interrupt Task Offset (Outputs):

Set between 000 - 192(BCD)
Since there are 256 External Interrupt Tasks available (numbered 0 to 255) the
Offset can be maximum 192. With an Offset of 192 the last Output (31) will be
assigned the last available External Interrupt Task 255 (=192+2x31+1).
Example 1 If you only want Soft Input 3 to generate interrupts and you only want to execute
an External Interrupt Task on the rising edge of Digital Output 3, than you must
enable Output 3 to generate interrupts (m+2 = 0008H and m+3 = 0000H). If you
decide to use an Offset of 5 (m+1 = 0005(BCD)) than External Interrupt Tasks 11
and 12 will be assigned to Output 3. In External Interrupt Task 11 you should write
an appropriate (ladder) program which is to be executed at a rising edge of the
corresponding bit of Output 3 in the Unit Output Pattern. External Interrupt Task 12
must also be programmed but will remain empty since no action is required on a
falling edge of Output 3.
Example 2 An Offset of 10 (m+1 = 0010(BCD)), with all 32 Outputs enabled to generate inter-
rupts (m+2 and m+3 = FFFFH), means that the rising edge of the corresponding
bit of Output 0 in the Unit Output Pattern is assigned to External Interrupt Task
Number 10 and the falling edge to External Interrupt Task 11. The rising edge of
Output 1 to External Interrupt Task Number 12 and the falling edge to External
Interrupt Task Number 13 and so on. For Output 31 the two External Interrupt
Tasks 72 and 73 are assigned. Now you have External Interrupt Tasks 10 to 73
available. In every Task you should write an appropriate (ladder) program which is
to be executed at the Outputs corresponding rising or falling edge.
The application example in section 6-4 CAM-positioning shows you how to use
outputs generating interrupts.
130
4-6-2 Digital Inputs Generating Interrupts

Enabling / Disabling The 2 Digital Inputs can all be configured to generate interrupts to the CJ-series
Interrupts CPU Unit. If a Digital Input is configured to generate interrupts, an interrupt is
issued to the CJ-series CPU Unit at a rising- or falling edge of the signal applied
to the Digital Input. The Function that is assigned to the Digital Input determines
if the interrupt is generated at a rising- or falling edge (refer to 3-4 "Digital Input
Functions").
Number Function Interrupt on

00 No Function Rising Edge
01 Gate Positive Rising Edge
02 Gate Negative Falling Edge
03 Preset Rising Edge Rising Edge
04 Preset Falling Edge Falling Edge
05 Reset Rising Edge Rising Edge
06 Reset Falling Edge Falling Edge
07 Capture Rising Edge Rising Edge
08 Capture Falling Edge Falling Edge
09 Stop, Capture and Continue Rising Edge
10 Stop, Capture and Continue (Inv) Falling Edge
11 Stop, Capture, Reset and Continue Rising Edge
12 Stop, Capture, Reset and Continue (Inv) Falling Edge
13 Capture-Reset Rising Edge Rising Edge
14 Capture-Reset Falling Edge Falling Edge
15 Enable Reset Rising Edge
16 Disable Reset Rising Edge
You can (DM-) configure a Digital Input to generate interrupts by setting the corre-
sponding bit in the Interrupt Enable Data of the Digital Inputs. The Interrupt Enable
Data of the Digital Inputs consists of 2 bits representing the 2 Digital Inputs. By
default the Inputs are disabled to generate interrupts.

m+5 I1 I0
Interrupt Enable Data Inputs
0 = Interrupts Disabled
1 = Interrupts Enabled
Bits 0 and 1 correspond with the Physical Digital Inputs I0 and I1.
External Interrupt Task Every Digital Input that is enabled to generate interrupts is assigned to an external
Offset interrupt task in the CJ-series CPU Unit. In the External Interrupt Task you should
write an appropriate (ladder) program that takes the required action on the occur-
rence of an interrupt.
131
All 2 Digital Inputs are assigned in sequential order to consecutive External Inter-
rupt Tasks starting from Digital Input 0. By defining an Offset you determine the
External Interrupt Task number of the (first) External Interrupt Task that is
assigned to Digital Input 0. The remaining Digital Input is assigned to the respec-
tive external interrupt task numbers in increasing order starting from Offset + 1.
Input External Interrupt

Task Number
0 (=I0) Offset
1 (=I1) Offset + 1
For example, an Offset of 30 means that Digital Input 0 is assigned to External

Interrupt Task Number 30 and Digital Input 1 to External Interrupt Task Number
31.
General Setting: 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

Interrupt Task Offset (Inputs):

Set between 000 - 252(BCD)
Since there are 256 External Interrupt Tasks available (numbered 0 to 255), the
Offset can be maximum 252.
Note 1. Multiple interrupts generated at the same time will be queued in FIFO-order
inside the High-speed Counter Unit. If the FIFO-buffer is full the Unit will gener-
ate an error (refer to 5-2-5 "Interrupt FIFO full error" for more information).
2. If the ranges of external interrupt task numbers that are assigned to the Outputs
and the Digital Inputs overlap, the Unit does not generate an error.

5-2 Error codes

Reporting errors The errors that can occur at the Unit are divided in 6 categories: DM-configuration
errors, IOWR-instruction errors, overflow/underflow errors, Preset error, Interrupt-
FIFO full error and System errors. Every error is assigned a unique error code.
The error code consists of two words (error code 1 and error code 2). At the occur-
rence of an error:
the corresponding error code is transferred to words n+17 (=error code 1) and
n+18 (=error code 2) of the Special I/O Unit Area in CIO-memory
the corresponding error code is stored inside the High-speed Counter Unit
the Global Error bit in CIO is set (n+19 / bit 00)
the ERC-LED is turned ON

After you have cleared the error:

words n+17 (=error code 1) and n+18 (=error code 2) are reset
the Global Error bit in CIO is reset (n+19 / bit 00)
the ERC-LED is turned OFF
Every error category requires its own unique action to clear them (refer to the next
sections for information on clearing errors of different categories).
Error History Log File Up to a maximum of 30 errors can be logged in chronological order inside the
High-speed Counter Unit, constituting the Error History Log File. If multiple errors
are active at the same time every error (-code) can be read sequentially into CIO
(n+17, n+18) by using the Read Next Error bit. Every next error is read from the
Error History Log File at the rising edge of the Read Next Error bit. If you attempt
to read an error after the last error in the list has been read, the value of zero will
be returned. Now you can scroll through the same error list again from the next ris-
ing edge of the Read Next Error bit.

5-2-1 DM-configuration errors

DM-configuration errors are detected during initialisation after the Unit has been
powered up or restarted. DM-configuration errors can also be detected after the
IOWR-instruction (Re) Configure Unit has been issued (refer to 4-5-3-4 (Re)
Configure Unit). In case a DM-configuration error is detected the Unit will report
the error and stop operating. The error(s) can be read in CIO using the Read Next
Error bit.

Clearing DM-configuration DM-configuration errors can be cleared by correcting the faulty settings in Data
errors Memory and consecutively transferring the new configuration data again to the
Unit. To transfer the configuration data you can choose from one out of two possi-
bilities:
Turn the power of the CJ-series PLC system ON.
Restart the High-speed Counter Unit (refer to 4-1-2 "Special I/O Units Restart
bits").
5-2-2 IOWR/IORD-instruction errors

IOWR/IORD-instruction errors are detected by the Unit after they have been
issued from the ladder program to the High-speed Counter Unit. IOWR-instruc-
tions are used to change Counter settings of the Unit. In case you specify faulty
operands in the IOWR-instruction the Unit reports this as an error. IORD-instruc-
tions only generate an error in case an invalid Control Code or an invalid number
of words is specified.

0350 Invalid Control Code Invalid Control Code The Control Code that is specified in the
IOWR/IORD-instruction is not supported by the
High-speed Counter Unit. The Invalid Control
Code is reported in Error Code 2.
0360 Control Code Invalid number of The number of words that is specified in the
words IOWR/IORD-instruction is faulty. The Control
Code of the instruction for which the invalid
number of words is specified is reported in
Error Code 2.
0400 Counter 000 Z-Reset Mode Out of Two problems can cause this error. The Z-
No. Range Reset Mode that you specified is not in the
valid range (0-1). It is also possible that you
issued an IOWR-instruction to change the
Maximum or Minimum Count Value of a
Circular or Linear Counter, causing one or
more of the already defined Range Limits or
Comparison Values to be outside the new
Counting Range. Counter No. indicates the

Clearing IOWR-instruction IOWR-instruction errors can be cleared by issuing the IOWR-instruction with the
errors Error Clear (EC) command (refer to 4-5-3-5 "Error Clear Command" for more
information).
5-2-3 Overflow/Underflow errors

Over- and underflow errors are reported only for Linear Counters assuming that
they have been configured to generate error codes (refer to 3-2-3 "Linear Coun-
ter").

0450 Counter No. Overflow The Linear Counter with the Counter No. as
reported in Error Code 2 generated overflow.
0460 Counter No. Underflow The Linear Counter with the Counter No. as
reported in Error Code 2 generated underflow.
Clearing overflow/ Overflow- and underflow errors can be cleared by resetting or presetting the
underflow errors Counter that generated over- or underflow. To reset a Counter refer to 3-6 "Reset
Signals". To preset a Counter refer 3-4 "Digital Input Functions".
139
Note At overflow- and underflow errors it is possible to configure Output State Control
5-2-4 Preset error

A Preset error is generated if a Circular or Linear Counter is preset with an invalid
Preset Value (refer to 3-4 "Digital Input Functions" for more information about pre-
setting). The Preset Value is invalid if it is outside the counting range of the Circu-
lar or Linear Counter.

0470 Counter No. Invalid Preset Value The Linear Counter with the Counter No. as
reported in Error Code 2 is preset with an
invalid Preset Value.
Clearing Preset error A Preset error can be cleared by resetting or by presetting the Counter that gen-
erated a Preset error, with a valid Preset Value. To reset a Counter refer to 3-6
"Reset Signals". To preset a Counter refer to 3-4 "Digital Input Functions".
5-2-5 Interrupt FIFO full error

Every interrupt that you want to use is assigned to an external interrupt task
number (0-255). This number corresponds with the external interrupt task in the
CJ-series CPU Unit that is to be executed when the assigned interrupt is activated
(refer to 4-6 "Interrupts").
Multiple interrupts, generated by the Digital Inputs and/or the Outputs, will be
queued in FIFO-order inside the High-speed Counter Unit, for as long as the cur-
rent active interrupt is not executed. The FIFO-buffer stores up to 30 interrupt
requests. If the FIFO-buffer is full the Unit will report an error to the CJ-series CPU
Unit. All interrupts generated by the Unit, after the Interrupt FIFO full error has
occurred will be ignored and will not generate additional errors. Error Code 2 con-
tains the external interrupt task number of the corresponding interrupt that was
excluded from the full FIFO-queue.

0480 External Interrupt Interrupt-FIFO full The interrupt-FIFO inside the High-speed
Task No. (BCD) Counter Unit is full and the interrupt assigned
to External Interrupt Task could not be
executed.
Clearing Interrupt FIFO If the speed with which the High-speed Counter Unit generates interrupts is higher
error than the speed with which the CJ-series CPU Unit executes the interrupts, the
FIFO-buffer inside the Unit runs full and the Interrupt FIFO full error is generated.
The error can be cleared by issuing the IOWR-instruction with the Error Clear
(EC) command (refer to 4-5-3-5 "Error Clear Command" for details).
140
The error indicates that the load of interrupts on the CJ-series CPU Unit is too
high. Clearing the error as mentioned before most probably needs additional
measures to be taken in order to prevent this error from happening in the future:
Mask one or more interrupts of the Unit, which caused the error.
Mask one or more interrupts of other Units in the system, which are generating
interrupts as well.
Reduce the execution time of the assigned External Interrupt Tasks.
External interrupt requests from the High-speed Counter Unit will not reach the
CPU Unit if the CPU Unit is not a CJ1-H or CJ1M CPU Unit (CJ1 CPU Units do not
support external interrupts), or the Unit is mounted at an incorrect position.
Be sure the High-speed Counter Unit is installed in the correct position. It must be
installed in one of the five positions immediately to the right of the CPU Unit (when
facing the PLC) if a CJ1-H CPU Unit is used, or in one of the three positions imme-
diately to the right of the CPU Unit if a CJ1M CPU Unit is used.
5-2-6 System Errors

When errors occur in the CJ-series CPU Unit or on the I/O Bus the ERH-LED is
turned ON. At the occurrence of an I/O Bus error an error code (see n+17, n+18)
is generated as well.

000E 0000 I/O Bus error An error has occurred on the I/O Bus causing
the High-speed Counter Unit to be in an
undefined state. On occurrence of an I/O Bus
error you can configure the Outputs to keep
their last state or to have a predefined state
0002 Time-Out in Time-Out error A cyclic refresh time-out error was generated
milliseconds caused by a PLC system error or you have
chosen to disable the Cyclic Refresh of the
High-speed Counter Unit in the CJ-series PLC
settings. This error will be cleared as soon as
Cyclic Refresh will take place again. The IORF
ladder instruction has no influence on this
behaviour.
Clearing System errors Turn ON the power supply again or restart the system. If the error persists, then
replace the CJ-series CPU Unit.

6-1 Flow Control

Covered configuration items in this example:
Simple Counter (for a Simple Counter no DM-configurations have to be made).
Application Description In the following example a tank has to be filled with a fixed amount of liquid. Press-
ing the push button resets the Simple Counter, opens the Gate of the Simple
Counter and opens the valve. The liquid passes through the flow meter into the
tank. The pulse output of the flow meter measures the liquid flow that is propor-
tional to the number of pulses generated (5,000 pulses is equivalent to 1 litre).
After the tank has been filled with exactly 100 litres of liquid the valve and the Gate
of the Simple Counter are closed automatically.

Application Description In this example the length of objects is measured. Improper sized objects are
removed from the line by activating the pusher for one second. The measured
length of improper sized objects is stored in EM of the PLC as a 32-bits Counter
Value. The High-speed Counter Unit is DM-configured and works stand-alone
except for storing the size of improper sized objects in EM; a short ladder program
is written to read and store the length of improper sized objects into the CJ-series
CPU Unit. The Unit is in Range Mode.
Two incremental encoders are used. Encoder 1 is connected to Counter 1 and

encoder 2 is connected to Counter 2. By using two encoders the system also
takes into account alterations in the speed of conveyor belt 1 and 2.
Encoder 1 is connected to the shaft of motor 1. The length of an object on con-

veyor belt 1 is proportional to the number of pulses that encoder 1 generates. As
an object passes photo-electric sensor D1, Counter 1 starts counting pulses. If the
number of pulses counted is within one of the predefined invalid ranges (i.e. the
length of the object is too small or too big), the object has to be removed from the
line by the pusher.
In order to activate the pusher at the right moment (i.e. the object with incorrect
length is in front of the pusher) encoder 2 and photo-electric sensor D2 are used.
When the end of the object leaves the beam of photo-electric sensor D2, Counter
2 is reset and continues counting. The pusher will be activated for one second as
soon as the object is in the predefined range of Counter 2.

To measure the length of objects the pulses of encoder E1 are counted by Linear/
Circular Counter 1 (corresponding DIP switch on the front of the Unit is in the ON-
position). Photo-electric sensor D1 is connected to Digital Input I0. Digital Input I0
controls Counter 1 and is assigned Digital Input Function 11 (Reset, Stop, Capture
and Continue).

At the falling edge of Digital Input I0, when an object enters the beam of the photo-
electric sensor, the Counter Value is reset, the gate is opened and Counter 1
starts counting pulses from zero. At the rising edge of Digital Input I0, when the
object leaves the beam of the photo-electric sensor, the Counter Value of Counter
1 is captured and the gate is closed.
Reading Captured Value By issuing an IORD-instruction from the PLC ladder program the captured Coun-
ter Value is read. The length of improper sized objects is stored in Extended Mem-
ory of the PLC (refer to the ladder program example on the next pages).
Measuring length The length is measured by Counter 1 and should be ideally 5000. The valid range
for the length of an object is 4900 5100. If the length of an object is in Range 0
(4000 4900) or Range 1 (5100 6000) the object is improperly sized and must
be removed. Digital Output O0, in the Output Pattern of Counter 1, is turned ON
when the Counter Value is within Range 0 or 1.

Removing objects Timing the correct moment to remove an object for the pusher is done by the com-
bination of encoder 2 and photo-electric sensor D2. Objects are removed by the
pusher which is located at conveyor belt 2. Photo-electric sensor D2 is connected
to Digital Input I1. Digital Input I1 controls Counter 2 and is assigned Digital Input
Function 5 (Reset Rising Edge).

Digital Input I1 At the rising edge of Digital Input I1, when an object leaves the beam of the photo-
electric sensor, Counter 2 is reset but continues counting. When the Counter
Value enters Range 0 Digital Output O0 is turned ON.
Logically AND Output The pusher (i.e. Digital Output O0) is controlled by logically AND-ing the output
Patterns Counter 1 and 2 patterns of Counter 1 and 2. This means that the pusher is activated when both
output patterns of Counter 1 and 2 have turned ON bit 0 (= Digital Output O0).

Output Pattern Counter 2: 31 30 29 16 15 14 6 5 4 3 2 O1 O0
Logical AND
Consequently the pusher is activated for 1 second when Counter 1 has measured
an invalid sized object AND when Counter 2 has determined that the object is in
front of the pusher.
DM-configuration The Machine Number of the High-speed Counter Unit is 0. The High-speed Coun-
ter is allocated 40 CIO-words starting from CIO 2000 (n = CIO 2000 + 0 x 10) and
400 DM-words starting from D 20000 (m = D 20000 + 0 x 100). The Range Data
of Counter 1 is stored in DM starting from D500 and the Range Data of Counter 2

Application Description In this example a hole is drilled into an object. The drill bit is spun by a single
speed, single direction motor (motor 2) which can only be turned ON or OFF. The
feed motor has two speeds (fast/slow) and can travel in two directions (forward/
reverse). The High-speed Counter Unit controls the speed and direction of the
feed-motor and turns ON/OFF the drill-motor. Turning ON and OFF the feed-motor
is done by the PLC ladder program via a Digital Input- and Output Unit (e.g. CJ1W-
ID231/OD231). A proximity switch is also connected to the Digital Input-and Out-
put Unit and reports to the CPU via the ladder program that an object is ready to
be treated. Consequently via the ladder program the feed-motor is turned ON.
An incremental encoder is connected to the shaft of the feed-motor. The encoder

is connected to Linear Counter 1. The Unit is in Comparison Mode and four Com-
parison Values are defined to control the speed and direction of the feed-motor
and to turn ON and OFF the drill-motor. The limit switch is used to reference the
home position of the drill-motor by resetting the Counter Value to zero.

After an object has been detected the feed-motor (M1) is turned ON (slow/for-
ward). When CV0 is passed M1 is switched to move fast. Reaching CV1 causes
the drill-motor (M2) to turn ON. At CV2 the feed-motor is switched to move slow.
Reaching CV3, when the hole has been completed causes the feed-motor to
reverse direction and to move back with fast speed (Counter 1 now counts down).
Other machinery (that is not visible) now automatically removes the object and the
proximity switch becomes inactive. At CV1 the drill-motor turns OFF and at CV0
154
the feed-motor is switched to move slowly until it reaches the limit switch and is
switched OFF (via the ladder program). At this moment a new object is placed in
position again. At this moment the feed-motor stays switched OFF for as long as
the proximity switch has detected a new object, initiating the whole cycle again.
The limit switch is connected to Digital Input I0 which is assigned function 05 (i.e.
Reset Rising Edge). Activation of the limit switch when the drill-motor is in the
home position causes Counter 1 to be reset and the feed-motor to be switched to
its initial state (slow/forward). An Output Reset Pattern (m+61, m+62) has been
defined to switch the feed-motor to its initial state.

Resetting a Counter with the Z-input combined with the Software Reset Enable
bit
Application Description In this example 15 outputs of a machine are controlled according to the position
angle of the electronic CAM-shaft that is driven by a motor. The position angle is
measured by counting the pulses of an incremental encoder that is connected to
the CAM-shaft.
In order to increase the resolution of the encoder the Input Signal Type for Counter
1 is set to multiplication x4. The Z-phase of the encoder is used to reset the
Counter together with the Software Reset Enable bit (make sure that CIO n+2, bit
05 is set).
The 15 outputs are controlled by the PLC ladder program via an additional Output
Unit (e.g. CJ1W-OD231). In order to reduce the On/Off-response time for the out-
puts all 15 outputs are enabled to generate interrupts to the CJ1-H CPU Unit.

The encoder is connected to Circular Counter 1. The 15 outputs are controlled by

5 Ranges (Range 0 to 4). An Hysteresis of 20 counts is defined and will be applied
to the Range Limits. The outputs are assigned to the Interrupt Tasks 10 to 39
respectively in the PLC ladder program (i.e. offset is 10). As a result the rising
edge of (Digital) Output O0 is assigned to External Interrupt Task 10, the falling
edge to External Interrupt Task 11 and so on.

Circular Counter
Rate Ranges, setting Rate Range Data
Application Description In this example logs are fed into a saw blade. A conveyor that has two speeds
(fast/slow) transports the logs. Via the control panel the conveyor and the saw
blade can be started and stopped. A speed sensor detects the speed of the saw
blade. The pulses of the speed sensor are counted by Counter 1 and are propor-
tional to the speed of the saw blade.
Logs are fed into the saw blade at fast speed. When the saw blade encounters an
irregularity in the log, the speed of the saw blade slows down. Now the conveyor
is switched from fast to slow speed (slow speed indicator turns ON). Once the saw
blade clears the irregularity and returns to its normal speed, the conveyor is
switched from slow to fast speed again (slow speed indicator turns OFF).

Appendix C
Description of the Response Time
The Response Time of the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit is the time between the Unit receiving a count
pulse (on one of the Counter inputs A or B) and the switching (ON or OFF) of a corresponding Digital Output.
CJ1W-CT021
Input Output
circuitry circuitry

MPU Digital Output
B
Response Time to switch

Digital OutputON
Response Time to Switch

Digital Output OFF
The Response Time can vary between 0.1 and 0.5 milliseconds, but is guaranteed to be less than 0.5
milliseconds. The following factors cause the Response Time to fluctuate:
the number of Counters simultaneously crossing a Range Limit or Comparison Value

the asynchronous (with respect to the Unit) Cyclic I/O Refresh triggered by the CJ-series PLC
The maximum Response Time of 0.5 milliseconds can no longer be guaranteed and will temporarily become
longer than 0.5 milliseconds in case you make use of:
IOWR/IORD-instructions
IORF-instructions
Programmable Output Pulses
Rate Measurement for one or more Counters
Digital Inputs or Z-inputs
Outputs- and or Digital Inputs generating Interrupts to the CJ1-H PLC
Note
When using one of the above functions, the approximate response time will be as follows:
Response time = 0.5 ms + function execution time.
Refer to Appendix E "IORF and IOWR/IORD-instruction Execution Times" for information on execution times for
IORF and IOWR/IORD-instructions.
External Control Inputs and Z-signal Inputs require approximately 300 s, and external interrupt tasks require
10 s per interrupt.

Application Restrictions
The following restrictions apply when using CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Units.
Restriction Reference
When a 50-kHz noise filter is configured, External Control Inputs cannot read signals 1-3-3 "Input Specifications"

The time from signal input to resetting for External Control Inputs is 300 s max. 3-4 "Digital Input Functions"

Capture Bit in CIO may not be executed if turned ON for only one PLC-cycle. Always 4-2 "Memory Allocation"
keep these bits turned ON until the execution status changes in the corresponding
flag in n+24 or n+29.
External Control Inputs may not be reflected in the status of External Inputs (n+2, 3-4 "Digital Input Functions"
n+5) if the pulse width is extremely short.
The following are the main reasons for this:
The signal is shorter than the CPU Unit cycle time.
The signal is shorter than the time the Data Transfer Busy bit is ON (e.g.,
during execution of an IOWR-instruction.)
The comparison operation stops for 1.5 ms from when the High-speed Counter Value 3-5-1-2 "Configuration and operation
falls within the Upper Range Limit or Lower Range Limit for the Range Data. in Range Mode"
However, the comparison does not stop for other counters.
Consider the time that the comparison is stopped when making settings for Range
Data.
When the High-speed Counter Value reaches the target value for Comparison Data, 3-5-2-2 "Configuration and operation
comparison stops for 1.5 ms. However, comparison for other counters does not stop. in Comparison Mode"
Consider the time the comparison stops when setting Comparison Data.
Comparison is stopped during the execution of IOWR/IORD-instructions and remains 3-5-1-2 "Configuration and operation

execution of IOWR/IORD-instructions.
The measurement interval for the Pulse Rate Measurement Function normally varies 3-7-2 "Rate Measurement"
by 125 s and can vary by a maximum of 1 ms. If the pulse rate value is averaged in
the ladder program, a value with a low (averaged) variation can be obtained.
The I/O Refresh will not occur while the Data Transfer Busy bit (CIO n+19, bit 02) is 4-1-1 "Basic Setup"
ON, and the Counter Value will not be refreshed while this bit is ON.
The Unit's Data Transfer Busy bit (n+19, bit 02) will turn ON for approximately 120 ms 4-2-3 "CIO-Memory Mapping"

value already set to the Unit is transferred, set the Comparison Data so that the same
value will be overwritten for the existing target value.
A CJ1-H or CJ1M CPU Unit is required to use external interrupt tasks. CJ1 CPU Units 4-6 "Interrupts"
do not support external interrupt tasks.
There are also restrictions on the position of the Unit on the Rack. Refer to the
section given in the right column for information on the restrictions.

Restriction Reference
The External Interrupt Task buffer stores up to 30 requests. 5-2-5 "Interrupt FIFO full error"
For functions that cannot guarantee a response time of 0.5 ms or shorter, the Appendix C "Description of the
approximate response time will be as follows: Response Time"
Response time = 0.5 ms + function execution time.
External Control Inputs and Z-signal Inputs take approximately 300 s, and external
interrupt tasks take 10 s per interrupt.
