COUNTER A DECIMAL POSITION

This selects the decimal point position for Counter A. The selection will also

affect Counter A scale factor calculations.

COUNTER A SCALE FACTOR

The number of input counts is multiplied by the scale factor to obtain the

desired process value. A scale factor of 1.0000 will result in the display of the
actual number of input counts. (Details on scaling calculations are explained at
the end of this section.)*

PARAMETER MENU

COUNT MODE

Select the count mode that corresponds with your application. The input

actions are shown in the boxes below. For simple counting applications, it is
recommended to use Count with Direction for the count mode. Simply leave the
direction input unconnected.

The Counter B Batch Count function internally counts the number of output

activations of the selected setpoint(s). The count source for the batch counter
can be SP1, SP2 or both. Batch counting is available in all count modes except
Dual Counter, which uses an external input signal for Counter B.
