No
external interrupt tasks can be activated if the Unit is in any other position

Reset Signals
CJ1W-CT021
Every Counter can be reset to zero by (a combination of) the following sources:
• Software Counter Reset Bit
• Digital Input * 1
• Z-Input * 1
• Programmable Output Pulse * 1:
To every Digital Output an ON-delay and/or a Pulse Duration [1 to 9999 ms] can be applied.
• Rate Measurement * 1* 4 : For every Counter the Pulse Rate can be measured by defining a Time-Window [1 to 9999 ms]. Up to
a maximum of 64 Rate Values are stored in the Rate History Log File. Rate Values from the Rate History Log File can be read using
the IORD-instruction. Additionally for every Counter two Rate Ranges can be defined that control the Outputs according to the mea-
sured Rate Value.
• Hysteresis * 1: To prevent Outputs from being switched On and Off by very small fluctuations in the Counter Value around Range
Limits, for every Counter an Hysteresis-value [1 to 255] can be defined (the Unit must in Range Mode).
To suppress noise on the signal lines of the Counter Inputs (A and B) and the Digital Inputs (I0 and I1) a
Noise
Filter can be config-
ured:
• 10 kHz * 1
• 50 kHz (default)
• 500 kHz * 1
For the Digital Inputs the 500 kHz filter can not be selected. The Z-Input Signals of every Counter are filtered with a fixed
Noise
Filter
of 1 kHz.
• The Initial Counter Value * 1 is transferred to the Unit when the Unit is Powered Up or Restarted. The Initial Counter Value is very
useful to overcome problems in case of power failure.
Run-time * 3 configuration and operation of the High-speed Counter Unit is possible by using IORD- and IOWR-instructions. The
following data can be read or written:
• DM-configuration data * 1
• Range- and Comparison Data * 1
• Captured Counter Value
• Rate History Log File Data * 1
• Counter Value
• (Re) Configure High-speed Counter Unit * 1
• Error Clear
• The Digital Outputs and the Soft Outputs of the Unit Output Pattern can all be configured to generate interrupts to the CJ1-H/CJ1M
CPU Unit * 1 * 2.
• Stores up to 30 error log records

*1. This specification item is only supported for Circular and Linear Counters (not for Simple Counters). For a complete overview of the differences
between Simple and Circular/Linear Counters refer to High-speed Counter Unit Operation Manual (Cat.
No.
W401).
*2. To activate external interrupt tasks, a CJ1-H or CJ1M CPU Unit must be used. CJ1 CPU Units do not support external interrupt tasks. To
activate external interrupt tasks in a CJ1-H CPU Unit, the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit must be in one of the five positions
immediately to the right of the CJ1-H CPU Unit. For CJ1M CPU Units, the CJ1W-CT021 High-speed Counter Unit must be in one of the three
positions immediately to the right of the CJ1M CPU Unit.
No
external interrupt tasks can be activated if the Unit is in any other position (i.e.,
6th Unit position or further away from the CJ1-H CPU Unit, or 4th Unit position or further away from the CJ1M CPU Unit), or if it is on a CJ-
series Expansion Rack.
Power Supply Unit
CJ1-H or CJ1M CPU Unit
For CJ1-H CPU Units: External interrupt tasks can
be
activated only from these Units.
For CJ1M CPU Units: External interrupt tasks can
be
activated only from these Units.
