Description

The Counters function is used to upcount or downcount pulses. The smart relay has

 

16 timers, numbered from 1 to 9 then from A to G.

 

The Counters function can be reset to zero or to the preset value (depending on the

 

chosen parameter) during use.

 

It may be used as a contact to find out whether:

 

z The preset value has been reached (upcounting mode TO),

 

z The counter has reached 0 (downcounting FROM).

Use of Coils

 

 

 

 

 

Each timer has 3 associated coils:

 

z Coil CC: Counting Pulse Input,

 

z Coil RC: Reset Initial Counter State Input,

 

z Coil DC: Counting Direction input.

 

The use of these coils is described below.

When used as a coil in a control diagram, this element represents a counting input

 

for the function. Every time the coil is energized, the counter is incremented or

 

decremented by 1 according to the counting direction chosen.

 

Example: Input counting pulses delivered by counter no. 1.

Every time input I1 is energized, the counter no. 1 is incremented by 1.
