Operation
4.8.8 Cautions on use
• For a contact to drive the coil of a high speed counter, use a contact which is normally ON during high speed
counting.
• If the operation of a high speed counter is triggered by a device such as a switch, the counter may malfunction due
to extra noise from switch chattering or contact bounce.
• The input filter of an input terminal for a high speed counter in the main unit is automatically set to 10 µs (X000,
X001, X003, X004) or 50 µs (X002, X005, X006, X007).
Accordingly, it is not necessary to use special data register D8020 (input filter adjustment).
The input filter for input relays not being used for high speed counters remains at 10 ms (initial value).
• The inputs X000 to X007 are used for high speed counters, input interrupt, pulse catch, SPD/DSZR/ZRN
instructions and general-purpose inputs. There should be no overlap between each input number.
For example, when C251 is used, X000 and X001 are occupied. As a result, "C235, C236, C241, C244, C246,
C247, C249, C252 and C254", "input interrupt pointers I00* and I10*", "pulse catch contacts M8170 and M8171",
"SPD instruction using X000 and/or X001" and "pulse width/pulse period measurement contacts M8076 and
M8077" cannot be used.
• When a counting pulse is not provided, none of the high speed counter output contacts will turn ON, even if the PLC
executes an instruction where "present value = set value."
• Counting may be started or stopped for a high speed counter when the output coil (OUT C***) is set to ON or OFF.
Program this output coil in the main routine. If the output coil is programmed in a step ladder (SFC) circuit,
subroutine or interrupt routine, counting cannot be started or stopped until the step ladder or routine is executed.
• Make sure that the signal speed for high speed counters does not exceed the response frequency described
above. If an input signal exceeds the response frequency, a WDT error may occur, or the communication functions
such as a parallel link may malfunction.
• When a high speed counter is reset by the RST instruction, it cannot count until the RST instruction is set to OFF.

Input number corresponding to
C235
Program a contact which is
normally ON during counting.
If a number of input relay for counting is specified, high
speed counter cannot execute accurate counting.

The current value does not change
even if pulses are input because the
C235 reset instruction is valid.
C235 remains reset
"RST C235" is set to ON
because the contact turns ON.
