Response frequency of high-speed counters

1. Response frequency and overall frequency
When any of the following functions/instructions is used, the overall frequency is restricted regardless of the operand
of the instruction.
Consider this restriction when examining the system or creating programs, and observe the specified overall
frequency range.
• When two or more high-speed counters are used
• When the HSCS, HSCR, HSZ, PLSY, PLSR, DSZR, TBL, ZRN, PLSV, DRVI or DRVA instruction is used
• When the pulse width/pulse period measurement function is used.

PLSY (FNC 57), PLSR (FNC 59), DSZR (FNC150), TBL (FNC152), ZRN (FNC156), PLSV (FNC157), DRVI
(FNC158), DRVA (FNC159)
2. Calculation of the total frequency
Obtain the overall frequency using the following expression:
Total frequency ≥ [(Sum of used frequency of 1-phase counters) + (Sum of used
frequency of 2-phase counters)]
3. Calculation example
Example1: When HSCS, HSCR or HSZ instruction is not used, and instructions related to positioning (DRVI instruction
[Y000] and DRVA instruction [Y001]) are used
Overall frequency: 200 kHz - (2 axes x 40 kHz) = 120 kHz

Example2: When HSCS, HSCR or HSZ instruction is not used, and instructions related to positioning (DRVI instruction
[Y000] are used, Number of pulse width/pulse period measurement inputs(X003)
Overall frequency: 200 kHz - [(1 axes + 1 input) x 40 kHz] = 120 kHz
<Counter No.>
