selected, the long integer input register increases from 0 to 4.2949673E9, then ‐4.2949673E9 and back to 0. The menu
selections for this options are listed below:
Note: When the Input Mode is set to Slow Response (filtered) some of the Counter Mode options are not particularly suited since
the maximum count is 10Hz. For example, Frequency Rate 0.1s would only be capable of measuring one count.
Up: Upward accumulator of input pulses
Run time sec: This is the on‐time timer feature that counts the time the associated input is in the ON state. The output for
this option is in seconds.
Run time min: This is the on‐time timer feature that counts the time the associated input is in the ON state. The output of this
option is minutes.
Freq. Rate: Depending on the frequency rate selected, the pulses are accumulated for 100ms, 200ms, 500ms, 1 second, 2
seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds or 60 minutes.
ON Pulse Width: Width time is ms between consecutive leading (OFF to ON) and trailing (ON to OFF) edges.
OFF Pulse Width: Width time is ms between consecutive leading (ON to OFF) and trailing (OFF to ON) edges.
• Pulses longer than the maximum size allowed by the register will result in an overflow condition (full scale 16‐bit
value equal to 65535)
• Pulses shorter than 1ms will not be accurately detected resulting in erroneous values.
• If no edge is ever detected by an input, the result will read as $0000. Timing only begins when an edge is detected.
Note: Counters are volatile (they will forget their counts if power is lost). Typically, retention of the values and resetting the counts
is accomplished in software at the host computer that polls these inputs.
CNT Modbus Address: Configuration must be sequential, CNT addresses are sequential by two registers from the base
address.
