Data type

Description

Data type

Description

Q

BOOL

TRUE when counter is full, i.e. when CV = PV.

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 CU input. Use R_TRIG or F_TRIG function block for counting pulses of CU input signal. In LD language, CU 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 CTU function block.

CV := MyCounter.CV;
