QU : BOOL; (* Counter reached Limit *)
QD : BOOL; (* Counter reached Null *)
CV : WORD; (* Current Counter Value *)
END_VAR
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
QU | BOOL | QU returns TRUE if CV has become greater than or equal to PV. |
QD | BOOL | QD returns TRUE if CV has become less than or equal to 0. |
CV | WORD | If RESET applies, the count variable CV is initialized with 0. If LOAD applies, CV is initialized with PV. If CU has a rising edge from FALSE to TRUE, then CV is increased by 1 as long as CV does not cause an overflow. If CD has a rising edge from FALSE to TRUE, then CV is decremented by 1 as long as CV does not cause an underflow. |
