Function Block - Up/down counter.

Inputs

Input

Data type

Description

CU

BOOL

Enable counting. Counter is increased on each call when CU is TRUE.

CD

BOOL

Enable counting. Counter is decreased on each call when CD is TRUE.

RESET

BOOL

Reset command. Counter is reset to 0 called with RESET to TRUE.

LOAD

BOOL

Re-load command. Counter is set to PV when called with LOAD to TRUE.

PV

DINT

Programmed maximum value.

Outputs

Output

Data type

Description

QU

BOOL

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

QD

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 CU and CD inputs. Use R_TRIG or F_TRIG function blocks for counting pulses of CU or CD input signals. In LD language, CU is the input rung. The output rung is the QU 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 CTUD function block.

MyCounter (CU, CD, RESET, LOAD, PV);
QU := MyCounter.QU;
QD := MyCounter.QD;
CV := MyCounter.CV;
