19
Switching positive logic/negative logic
The pulse input logic can be switched.
Positive logic or negative logic can be set for each channel with parameter settings.
■Operation for positive logic
■Operation for negative logic
Continuous measurement/one-time measurement mode
The pulse width measurement mode can be set.
The table below shows the measurement modes for pulse width measurements.
The measurement mode can be changed during pulse measurements by using a special relay. (Page 177
List of special relays/special registers)
Signal delay time measurement
In a user program, the delay time between signals can be calculated from the rising or falling ring counters of 2 inputs.
