2.12 High-speed Counters
There are two types of high speed counters provided including Software High Speed Counter
(SHSC) and Hardware High Speed Counter (HHSC). The same Input point (X) can be designated
with only one high speed counter. Double designation on the same input or the same counter will

Note:
1. SHSC supports max 10kHz input pulse on single point. Max 8 counters are applicable in the
same time.
2. An SS2/SA2/SE model does not support a two-phase two-input counter (C232 with the input
points X0 and X2).
3. For 2-phase 2-input conuting, (X4, X5) (C233) and (X6, X7) (C234), max 5kHz. (X0,X2) (C232),
max 15kHz.
4. 2-phase 2-input counting supports double and quadruple frequency, which is selected in D1022
as the table shown below.
5. R/F (Rising edge trigger/ Falling edge trigger) can also be specified by special M. OFF = Rising;
ON = Falling.
6. U/D (Count up/Count down) can be specified by special M. OFF = count up; ON = count down.

Note:
1. The max frequency of the 1-phase input counters X0 (C243) and X2 (C244) is 100kHz on
ES2/EX2/SA2/SX2 model and 20kHz on SS2 model.
2. An SE model does not support the counters C249 and C250.
3. The max frequency of the 1-phase 2-input counters (X0, X1) (C245, C246) and (X2, X3) (C249,
C250) is 100kHz on ES2/EX2/SA2/SX2 model and 20kHz on SS2 model.
4. The max frequency of the 1-phase 2-input counters (X0, X1) (C247, C248) is 10kHz on
ES2/EX2/SS2/SX2 model and 100kHz on 32ES211T and SA2 model.
5. The max frequency of the 2-phase 2-input counter (X0, X1) (C251, C252) is 5kHz on ES2/EX2
model, 10kHz on SS2/SX2 model and 30kHz on 32ES211T, 12SA2 and 12SE model. For ES2
series released after the year of 2013, the max frequency for 28SA2 and 26SE are up to 50kHz.
6. The max frequency of the 2-phase 2-input counter (X2, X3) (C253, C254) is 5kHz on
ES2/EX2/SA2 model, 10 kHz on SS2/SX2 model and 30kHz on 32ES211T. For ES2 series
released after the year of 2013, the max frequency for 28SA2 and 26SE are up to 50kHz.
7. 2-phase 2-input counting supports double and 4 times frequency, which is selected in D1022
as the table in next page. Please refer to the below table for detailed counting wave form.

8. DVP-ES2/DVP-SS2 series PLCs whose firmware version is 2.80 or above support the single
frequency mode. DVP-SA2/DVP-SX2 series PLCs whose firmware version is 2.00 support the
single frequency mode. The other PLCs support the three modes.
9. C243 and C244 support count-up mode only and occupy the associate input points X1 and X3
as reset function. If users do not need to apply reset function, set ON the associated
special M relays (M1243 and M1244) to disable the reset function.
10. Dir refers to direction control function. OFF indicates counting up; ON indicates counting
down.
11. When X1, X3, X4 and X5 is applied for reset function and associated external interrupts are
disabled, users can define the reset function as Rising/Falling-edge triggered by special M
relays

12. When X1, X3, X4 and X5 is applied for reset function and external interrupts are applied, the
interrupt instructions have the priority in using the input points. In addition, PLC will move the
current data in the counters to the associated data registers below then reset the counters.

3. When X22 = ON, C235 receives signals from X0 and counter will count up (+1) or count down
(-1).
4. When counter C235 reaches K5, contact C235 will be ON. If there is still input signal input for
X0, it will keep on counting.
