CTD / CTDr

Function Block - Down counter.

Inputs

CD : BOOL Enable counting. Counter is decreased on each call when CU is TRUE
LOAD : BOOL Re-load command. Counter is set to PV when called with LOAD to TRUE
PV : DINT Programmed maximum value

Outputs

Q : BOOL TRUE when counter is empty, i.e. when CV = 0
CV : DINT Current value of the counter

Remarks

The counter is empty (CV = 0) when the application starts. The counter does not include a pulse detection for CD input. Use R_TRIG or F_TRIG function block for counting pulses of CD input signal. In LD language, CD is the input rung. The output rung is the Q output.

CTUr, CTDr, CTUDr function blocks operate exactly as other counters, except that all boolean inputs (CU, CD, RESET, LOAD) have an implicit rising edge detection included. Not that these counters may be not supported on some target systems.
