Timer and Counter Instructions

Bit 14 is the overflow/underflow bit. It is set to one when the AC value
of the CTU exceeds 999 or the AC value of the CTD goes below 000.
Bit 15 (the Done bit) is set to one when a count has been reached or
exceeded, that is, when the AC value is
≥
PR value.
Bit 16 is the enabled bit for a CTD instruction. It is set on when rung
conditions are true.
Bit 17 is the enabled bit for a CTU instruction. It is set on when rung
conditions are true.
Counter instructions differ from Timer instructions in that they have no
time base. They count one event each false-to-true transition of the rung.

The Up-Counter (CTU) instruction increments its accumulated value for
each false-to-true transition of rung conditions (Figure 5.7). Because only
the false-to-true transition causes a count to be made, rung conditions must
go from true to false and back to true before the next count is registered
(Figure 5.7). The CTU instruction retains its accumulated value when:
Mode select switch is changed to the PROGRAM position
Rung conditions go false
Power outage occurs provided memory backup power is maintained for
RAM memory
Each time the CTU rung goes true, bit 17, the Enabled bit, is set on. When
the accumulated value reaches the preset value, bit 15 is set on. Unlike a
