CTU and CTD instructions are retentive. Count up and count down
instructions count false-to-true rung transitions. These rung transitions could
be caused by events occurring in the program such as parts traveling past a
detector or actuating a limit switch.
Each count is retained when the rung conditions again become false. The
count is retained until an RES instruction having the same address as the
counter instruction is enabled.
Each counter instruction has a preset and accumulated value and a control
word associated with it. The accumulated value is retained after the CTU or
CTD instruction goes false, and when power is removed from and then
restored to the processor. Also, the on or off status of counter done,
overflow, and underflow bits is retentive.
