5.1.3.8.2 Pulse Count
Select Pulse Count from the setup menu. The
options for Input and Output scaling and Negative
Edge Triggering are as above. There is an additional
setup setting indicated by the setup icon. Pressing
this
button will bring up the Reset
Options for the Pulse Count.
The Pulse Count keeps a running total until a reset
event occurs. This can be a programmed reset
interval time, external reset or alarm reset. At this
point the count total is logged in the Alarm/Event log
window (if Reset Print is enabled) and the count is
reset to zero, begins again. The data will also be
recorded to disk if Alarm/Event logging is enabled.
The count total is non-volatile unless the Auto reset
option is active. The Pulse Count Reset dialog
window is shown in Figure 5-14. There are several
options:
Auto Reset: If this box is unchecked the Count will
run continuously unless External Reset is enabled.
If the Auto Reset box is checked then the totals will
reset at the reset interval once the start time (Reset
Sync) has been met.
Ext. Reset Enable: This is the External Reset. If
this box is checked the count will be reset by an
external event via the digital inputs

optional digital I/O card must be present in the
system AND the designated input must be
as a count reset for this to work.
Reset Point: This indicates which external digital
input will reset the Totalizer when Ext. Reset Enable
above is checked and the digital input is
The digital input needs to be programmed as a Count Reset type.
Reset Intrvl: This is the Reset Interval.
This is the time in days, hours, minutes and seconds between
total resets when Auto Reset is checked. The example above will reset the Total every 5 minutes.
Reset Sync: If the Sync Enabled checkbox is checked the
Count will reset the first time it reaches the set time. This
allows the user to synchronize the reset to a known time. This also allows several channels to be
synchronized together if the Reset Sync time is set to the same for all. This time is ignored if the enable
box is not checked.
Reset Print: When this box is checked each time the total is reset, the information will be
appended to the alarm/event log (time and total).
Total Reset on Alarm:
– If checked the Total will be reset by the
Alarm condition selected. In this case when Channel 1 Alarm 1 is
active, the Total will be reset.
Apply: Save the values and exit
Cancel: Exit without making any changes
