Counter Set up


There can be two types of counters, Up Count and Down Count. All the counters
increment / decrement the current value on the positive edge of a defined input and
require a Reset input.

An up counter will increment its current value from 0 to the preset value at which
point the output is energised. A down counter will decrement its current value
(starting at a value equal to the Preset) until the current value reaches 0 at which point
the output is energised. Both counters will overtake the preset if input pulses continue
to be applied to the counter after the output is energised.
