The basic motion operations as above are the unit operation, and each unit operation is divided
3 types which are single, continue and sucessive.
 Simple: Basic motion operation type is operating only by start instruction.

 Repeat: The motion operation type is operating repeatedly by the first start instruction.
Because it goes to the next automatically after finishing every operation for one period,
there is dwell time.
 Continuous: As similar as continue type, it has repeated operating by the first starting, but it
goes the next without deceleration time and dwell time. Therefore, it is not able to change
directions.
Each connection is as below.

 Pulse input can be counted at a rate of 50kpps per channel at maximum at 1 multiplication,
25kpps at 2 multiplication and up to 12.5kpps at 4 multiplication.
 Do not set the match value 1 and 2 to consecutive values. Set the match value to make
different at least 3 from the high-speed counter
 The output pulse through the high-speed counter HSCNT instruction is only available
through the Y4 to Y7 port.

 Output device ON time
Output device stays ON as long as the set time (us) then turns OFF.
 The second parameter in HSCNT, the counter device, cannot be used as a contact device.
If the contact is required, define directly on the output device.
 The second parameter in HSCNT, the counter device, must be assigned a different number
for each channel and for each match value.
It is not available to direct map the C device with High-speed counter HSCNT in drawing
program at Designer. To use the high-speed counter current value in the programming
screen, use the special device which has current counting value among the special device
of high-speed counter.

 Using the high-speed counter’s interrupt signal, 4 ladder interrupt routines (EEI) can be
configured up to EEI Instruction 11 to 14.
- In consideration of the PLC scan performance and the number of instruction steps, design
the interrupt routine so that the entire high-speed counter interrupt routine does not load
PLC operation.
- Be careful when designing the interrupt routine since it may cause scanning problems due
to the interrupt service routine.
- if the interrupt routine is too long or the interrupt drive internal using HSSET is too short,
only the interrupt routine will be activated without PLC scan operation.
- The example of configuring a ladder interrupt routine using the interrupt instruction EEI 11.
When match value1 of HSCNT instruction CH1 matches current counting value, 11th
interrupt is generated and Y5 and Y6 in the interrupt routine turns ON at the same time.

“When the current counting value reaches 300, it switches to the
down counter.”
1) ‘High-speed counter’ tab
Create the high-speed counter in atLogic [Work space]-[Parameter]-[High-speed
counter] tab as shown below.
2) PLC program
It is programmed to switch as down counter when the current counting value reaches
to match value. The devices are listed as the table below.
M0 1/0 Start signal
Current counting
C1 Counter device/Counter contact
value
1st If a pulse is entered to CH1 input port X0 while M0 is ON, the curent count value of
counter device C1 will rise.
2nd When C1 current counting value reaches match value 2(300), the interrupt 200(up
counting→down counting) occurs.
3rd After the interrupt occurs, the C1 current counting value is decremented depending
on the pulse input of X0.

 Pulse input can be counted at a rate of 50kpps per channel at maximum at 1 multiplication,
25kpps at 2 multiplication and up to 12.5kpps at 4 multiplication.
 Do not set the match value 1 and 2 to consecutive values. Set the match value to make
different at least 2 from the high-speed counter.
 Use with HSCNT instruction.
 Set the match value at least 60 us interval to reset the counting value using match value.
Ex) the time per 1 pulse is 20 us in case of 50kpps pulse. Since 60us=20us×3, set the
match value to make different at least 3 form the set value.

 If the output pulse width through HSCNT is greater than the pulse width of the match value,
the system may go down. Set the HSCNT output pulse width to less than half of the match
value pulse width.
Ex) The image below shows the waveform measured when the pulse value of 50kpps is set
to match value 10 (200us=20us×10) and output pulse 2 (40us=20us×2).
The output pulse length must be less than half of the input pulse period (100us).
