*1.
They are handled as software counters depending on the operating condition. When they are handled as
software counters, they have limitations on both maximum response frequency and total frequency.
*2.
Cautions on wiring should be considered for these high-speed counters.
*3.
C244, C245 and C248 are usually used as software counters, but can be used as hardware counters C244
(OP), C245 (OP) and C248 (OP) by combining a special auxiliary relay (M8388, M8390 to M8392).
*4.
2-phase 2-input counter is usually 1 edge count counter, but can be used as a 4 edge count counter by
combining a special auxiliary relay (M8388, M8198 or M8199).
*5.
The external reset input is usually reset by turning ON, but can be changed to be reset by turning OFF by
combining special auxiliary relays (M8388 and M8389).
*6.
The counter C253 is usually used as a hardware counter, but can be used as the counter C253 (OP) not
equipped with reset input by combining special auxiliary relays (M8388 and M8392).
In this case, C253 (OP) is handled as a software counter.
Notation of high-speed counter devices
For some high-speed counters in FX
auxiliary relays are used.
Such high-speed counter devices are classified below. Note that description as (OP) is not available in programming.
