Inputs

Input

Data type

Description

PV

DINT

Outputs

Output

Data type

Description

Q

BOOL

TRUE when counter is empty, i.e. when CV = 0.

CV

DINT

Current value of the counter.

Remarks

The counter is empty (CV = 0) when the application starts. The counter does not include a pulse detection for CD input. Use R_TRIG or F_TRIG function block for counting pulses of CD input signal. In LD language, CD is the input rung. The output rung is the Q output.

CTUr, CTDr, CTUDr function blocks operate exactly as other counters, except that all boolean inputs (CU, CD, RESET, LOAD) have an implicit rising edge detection included. Not that these counters may be not supported on some target systems.

ST Language

MyCounter is a declared instance of CTD function block.

Q := MyCounter.Q;
CV := MyCounter.CV;
