(Note 1) The ring counter command is executed after setting R numbers to Rn to Rn+1 and
specifying data for the parameter.
(Note 2) The error code (Mm) of the ring counter command and the error code in bit F of the
parameter (Rp) are cleared when the activating signal (ACT) goes off. The activating signal
(ACT) of the ring counter command is generally pulsed. This makes it hard for the interface
diagnostic and ladder monitor programs to detect an error signal. For debugging, therefore,
an error hold circuit is provided after the ring count command to ease error detection.
