Frequency – A sample of counted pulses taken over a predetermined
time period. The length of the period depends on the Frequency Selection
(above). If “Up to 30 KHz” is selected, then the period is the most recent 1
second. If “Over 30 KHz” is selected, then the period is the most recent
200 milliseconds (msecs). The total number of pulses counted during that
period is written to the Frequency tag. Mapped to a 16-bit Signed Input
tag (%IW).
To configure Frequency, click the
to the right and select a tag from the
pop-up menu. Each tag can be used only once.
Hold Count – Bit to pause and resume the counter. When the bit
