CTUD / CTUDr
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);
