CTU / CTUr

Function Block - Up counter.

Inputs

CU : BOOL Enable counting. Counter is increased on each call when CU is TRUE
RESET : BOOL Reset command. Counter is reset to 0 when called with RESET to TRUE
PV : DINT Programmed maximum value

Outputs

Q : BOOL TRUE when counter is full, i.e. when CV = PV
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 CU input. Use R_TRIG or F_TRIG function block for counting pulses of CU input signal. In LD language, CU 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.
