13.4.1 Common cautions on using instructions for high speed counter
DHSCS (FNC 53), DHSCR (FNC 54), DHSZ (FNC 55) and DHSCT (FNC280) instructions are provided for high
speed counters.
This section explains common cautions for these instructions.
1. Limitation in the number of an instruction in a program
1) FX3U/FX3UC PLC
DHSCS, DHSCR and DHSZ instructions can be used as many times as necessary in the same way as general
instructions. However, the number of simultaneously driven instructions is limited. The DHSCT instruction can be
used only once in any program.
2) FX
3G PLCs
The DHSCS, DHSCR and DHSZ instructions can be used 6 times in total in any program. In addition, the number
of simultaneously driven instructions is limited for these instructions.
2. Response frequency of high speed counters
When the DHSZ or DHSCT instruction is used in FX3U/FX3UC PLCs, the maximum response frequency and total
frequency of every software counter are limited.
When the DHSCS, DHSCR or DHSZ instruction is used in FX
3G PLCs, the total frequency of high speed counters is
limited.
→ For the maximum response frequency and total frequency in FX
3U/FX3UC PLCs, refer to Subsection 4.7.10.
→ For the total frequency in FX
3G PLCs, refer to Subsection 4.8.7.
3. Specification of output numbers (Y)
When using the same instruction for high speed counter repeatedly or when driving two or more other instructions for
high speed counter at the same time, specify such output devices (Y) whose high-order two digits are the same (in
units of 8 devices).
1) When using devices of the same number (in units of 8 devices)
Example: When using Y000, specify Y000 to Y007. When using Y010, specify Y010 to Y017.
2) When using two or more instructions for high speed counter and non-consecutive output (Y) numbers
A program example is shown below:
When C255 reaches K100, the output Y000 is driven by interrupt. Y010 is driven when END processing is
executed.
If interrupt drive is required, use an output number in the range from Y001 to Y007 whose high-order two digits are
equivalent.
