Range Mode
If the Unit is configured to control the Outputs in Range Mode, this Mode can be
applied to Circular Counters or Linear Counters (refer to section Section 3-2-1
for more information).
Example Range Mode with Linear Counter
In this example four Ranges are specified. The configuration data of the Counter
shows that:
• Software Output 0 must be ON for Counter Values within Range 0.
• Software Output 1 and 3 must be ON for Counter Values within Range 1.
• Software Output 2 must be ON for Counter Values within Range 2.
• Both the Software Outputs 0 and 3 must be ON for Counter Values within
Range 3.
In the above example the Counter Value is within Range 1 and 3 and consequently
the Outputs 0, 1 and 3 are turned ON.
