Operation modes
Operation mode selection
There are three operation modes to choose from:
- Two up/down counters (delivery state)
- One up/down counter
- 8 digital inputs
The setting takes place by selecting the PDOs in the Sync-Manager:
Operation mode | Number of | Number of "free" | Properties |
---|---|---|---|
2 up/down counters | 2 | 2 | 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 | 1 | 5 | |
8 digital inputs, no counter | - | 8 | digital inputs: |
Operation mode settings of the PDOs | 0x1600 | 0x1601 | 0x1A00 | 0x1A01 | 0x1A02 | 0x1A03 | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 up/down counters (32-bit) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0/1 | 0/1 | 2 counters, digital inputs, diagnosis of Us |
1 up/down counters (32-bit) | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0/1 | 0/1 | |
8 digital inputs, no counter | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0/1 | 0/1 | digital inputs: |
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)
![]() | 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.


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.
