Operation modes

Operation mode selection

There are three operation modes to choose from:

The setting takes place by selecting the PDOs in the Sync-Manager:

Operation mode

Number of
32-bit counters

Number of "free"
digital inputs

Properties

2 up/down counters

Single pulses at the counter inputs are counted; the Gate input or the software gate enables the counter; count direction via CoE

1 up/down counters

digital inputs:
Filter for inputs 0 and 4 permanently set to 150 µs.
The filter setting for the other inputs is configurable by software.

The module parameters are set in the CoE objects 0x8000:0 for counter 1, 0x8010:0 for counter 2 and 0x8022:0 for the digital inputs. (integrate links)

Operation modes 1:

The second counter is always active internally

Internally the second counter is always active, so that when switching from one 32-bit counter to two 32-bit counters the previous incoming pulses were counted in the second counter and saved in the Counter Value.

Two up/down counters

This is the operation mode in the factory setting.

Operation modes 2:
Operation modes 3:

The PDOs 0x1600, 0x1601 as well as 0x1A00, 0x1A01, 0x1A02 and 0x1A03 are activated. The meaning of the individual objects is explained in the object description.

One up/down counter

This mode can be set as follows:

Operation modes 4:
Operation modes 5:

The PDOs 0x1600 as well as 0x1A00, 0x1A02 and 0x1A03 are activated. The CoE objects are identical to the 2 x 32-bit counter operation mode.

8 digital inputs, no counter

This mode can be set as follows:

Operation modes 6:

The PDOs 0x1A02 and 0x1A03 are activated. The meaning of the individual objects is explained in the object description.
