The 1794-VHSC module performs high speed counting for industrial applications. The module is an intelligent I/O module that interfaces signals with any Allen-Bradley programmable controller that has Ethernet capability.

The 1794-VHSC module, once configured for its intended purpose, can continue to operate without FlexBus power.

Customer power is required for the module, inputs and outputs.

After scanning the inputs and updating the outputs, the input data is converted to a specified data type in a digital format to be transferred to the processor’s data table on request. Command and configuration data is sent from the programmable controller data tables to the module via Ethernet.

Module Features

The 1794-VHSC module counts pulses from encoders (such as Allen-Bradley Bulletin 845), pulse generators or mechanical limit switches, or proximity switches, and returns either a count or frequency in binary format.

Encoder or Counter Mode

2 Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM010D-EN-E - July 2013

The operation of encoder and counter modes is virtually identical. The only difference between the two modes is in the type of feedback used.

Use the counter mode if you need the module to read incoming pulses from a maximum of 2 encoders (single-ended or differential), counters, pulse generators, mechanical limit switches, etc. and return them to the programmable controller as a binary number (0…16,777,215).

Overview of the Very High Speed Counter Module

Use the encoder modes if you need the module to read incoming quadrature pulses and return them to the programmable controller as a binary number (0…16,777,215). In these modes, the module accepts two-phase quadrature feedback and counts up or down depending upon the condition of the phase B input for each counter.

The operation of the module in the encoder/counter modes is as follows:

• counter mode – channel B is direction control (up or down). Channel A

input is used for pulse. The count is bidirectional with the direction determined by channel B.

• encoder X1 – This is a bidirectional count mode; counting up or down,

using quadrature input signals.

• encoder X2 – This is a bidirectional count mode, using quadrature input

signals, with 2 times the resolution of X1.

• encoder X4 – This is a bidirectional count mode, using quadrature input

signals, with 4 times the resolution of X1.

Each of the counters in encoder/counter mode has values associated with it. These are:

• preset value

• rollover value

Counter Mode

The counter mode allows the module to read incoming pulses and return them to the programmable controller processor as a binary number (0…16,777,215).

In the counter mode, direction (up counting or down counting ) is determined by the phase B input, which can be a random signal. If Phase B is high, the counter will count down. If phase B is low or floating, (that is, not connected), the counter counts up.

Counter Mode Direction

Phase B Input Count direction

High Down Low or floating (not included) Up

The module reads incoming pulses from a maximum of 2 encoders (single-ended or differential), counters, pulse generators, mechanical limit switches, and so forth and returns a count to the programmable controller processor in a binary number (0-16,777,215).

The counter mode accepts only one phase feedback. This relationship is shown in Figure Block Diagram of Counter Mode

on page 4.

Block Diagram of Counter Mode

Encoder Mode

The encoder mode allows the module to read incoming pulses and return them to the programmable controller processor as a binary number (0-16,777,215).

In this mode, the module will accept two phase quadrature feedback. The module senses the relationship between the 2 phases and counts up or down accordingly.

Encoder X1 mode – quadrature input signals count on the leading edge or the trailing edge of channel A for a bidirectional count. The phase relationship between Channel A and Channel B determines direction — channel A leading, and channel B floating, the count direction is up; Channel A lagging, and Channel B high, the count direction is down.

Encoder X2 mode – quadrature input signals count on the leading edge and the trailing edge of channel A for a bidirectional count. Channel B determines direction —B low (floating), the count direction is up; B high, the count direction is down.

Encoder X4 mode – quadrature input signals count on the leading edge and the trailing edge of channel A and channel B for a bidirectional count. Channel B determines direction — B low (floating), the count direction is up; B high, the count direction is down.

Direction of Count

The module can count either up or down, depending upon the condition of the B input for each counter. In encoder applications, the counter will increment on the leading edge of input A, while input B determines the direction of the count.

You also have the option of X1, X2 and X4 multiplying of the input pulses. See Figure Phase Relationship for Forward or Reverse Directions relationships between inputs A and B for forward and reverse directions in encoder applications.

Overview of the Very High Speed Counter Module

Preset Value

Each of the 2 counters has one preset value associated with it. In the encoder or counter modes, the preset value represents a reference point (or count) from which the module begins counting. The module can count either up or down from the preset value. Preset values are loaded into the count registers through the preset count bits. Preset values can range from 0 to 16,777,215 binary.

Rollover Value

Each of the 2 counters has one rollover value associated with it. When the rollover value is reached by the encoder/counter, it resets to 0 and begins counting again. The rollover values range from 1 to 16,777,216 binary. The rollover value is circular. For example: if you program 360, the count will be from 358, 359, 0, 1, and so on, in a positive direction and from 1, 0, 359, 358, and so on, in a negative direction.

Software Reset

The counters can also be reset by the Reset Count bits found in Word 0, bits 0 and 4 of the Counter Control word. When one of these bits is set to 1, the associated counter is reset to zero and begins counting. The module can also be reset with the gate/reset as explained below. For more details, .

Gate/Reset Input

There is one gate/reset input for each of the 2 counters. The gate/reset input, when active, will function in one of the 4 store count modes outlined below.

Scaling Input Count at the Gate/Reset Terminal

You can scale the incoming count at the gate/reset terminal. Scaling allows the incoming pulses at gate/reset to be divided by a number in the range of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128.

Store Count

The store count feature allows the module to store the current count value of the associated counter. The store count feature is triggered by the state of the gate/ reset terminal on the module. The stored count of each counter is placed in a separate word in the Read Data file. The stored count value will remain in the Read Data file until a new trigger pulse is received at the Gate/Reset terminal. When a new trigger pulse is received, the old count value will be overwritten by the new value.

In mode 1, store/continue (see Figure Store/Continue edge of a pulse input on input Z (gate/reset) terminal causes the current value in

the counter to be read and stored. The counter will continue counting. The stored count will be available in the Read Data file. The stored count information will remain in the block transfer read file until it is overwritten by new data.

Store/Continue

In mode 2, store/wait/resume (see Figure Store/Wait/Resume on page 7), a rising edge of a pulse input on the Z input (gate/reset) terminal reads and stores the current counter value in the Read Data file, and inhibits counting while the gate/ reset input is high. Counting resumes when the input goes low.

Mode 2 does not reset the counter, although it does store the count value. The stored count is available in the Read Data file. The stored count remains in the Read Data file until it is overwritten with new data.

Store/Wait/Resume

In mode 3, store-reset/wait/start (see Figure Store-Reset/Wait/Start on page 7), the rising edge of the pulse on input Z (gate/reset) terminal causes the counter to stop counting, store the current count value in the Read Data file and reset the count to zero. The counter does not count while the Z input on the gate/reset terminal remains high. Counting resumes from zero on the falling edge of the pulse at the Z (gate/reset) terminal.

In mode 4, store-reset/start (see Figure Store-Reset/Start on page 8), on the rising edge of a pulse input at the Z (gate/reset) terminal causes the counter to store the accumulated count value in the Read Data file, and reset the counter to zero. The counter continues counting while the Z gate/reset input is high. The stored count

is available in the Read Data file. The stored count remains in the Read Data file until it is overwritten with new data.

Store-Reset/Start

The figures show the store count feature operating on the rising edge of the gate/ reset pulse. The user has the option of electing these same features using the falling edge of the gate/reset pulse. The gate invert bit is active in the store count, continuous/rate and period/rate modes.

Period/Rate Mode

Use the period/rate mode to determine the frequency of input pulses by counting the number of internal 5MHz clock pulses over a user-specified number of input signal pulses. At the end of the specified number of pulses, the module returns the frequency and the total number of pulses received.

A channel configured for period/rate mode acts as a period rate counter. An internal 5MHz clock is used as a frequency reference. This clock is gated by the incoming pulse train at the gate/reset input. The results of this gating action are the number of pulses or a frequency. The frequency is returned in input file words 0 (LSW) and 1 (MSW) for channel 0 and word 2 (LSW) and 3 (MSW) for channel 1. The total pulses received is stored in input file words 4 (LSW) and 5 (MSW) for channel 0 and words 6 (LSW) and 7 (MSW) for channel 1. Select the period/rate mode by setting the appropriate bits in word 0 of the configuration block.

1794-VHSC modules count the total number of pulses occurring at the Z (gate/ reset) pin. This function is frequency-limited to 200Hz X the scaler value. You can reset this count by setting the VR bit.

Frequency and outputs updated here

In Figure Period/Rate Mode on page 9, the incoming pulse train from the gate/ reset terminal is used to sample pulses from the 5 MHz internal clock. As the frequency of the incoming pulse train at the gate/reset terminal increases, the number of sampled pulses from the 5 MHz clock decreases. This relationship is shown in NO TAG. Since accuracy is related to the number of pulses received over the sample period, the accuracy will decrease with increasing input frequencies at the Gate/Reset terminal.

To some extent, the decrease in accuracy can be lessened by scaling the input frequency through the use of a scaler. A scaler value of 1 will only return an accurate input frequency if incoming pulses have a 50% duty cycle.

Operation of Scaler

In period/rate mode, the scaler lets the incoming pulse train at the Z (gate/reset) terminal be divided by a user defined number. Acceptable values for the scaler are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128. There is one scaler value for each counter.

ATTENTION: Sample period times scaler must be less than 6.71 s in order to avoid a zero frequency detect indication.

Continuous/Rate Mode

Connection to Counter Inputs

The only input to the module in the period/rate mode is made to the Z (gate/ reset) terminal. The counter inputs (channel A and B) are not used in the period/ rate mode.

The continuous/rate mode is similar to the period/rate mode previously described except the outputs in this mode are dynamic outputs. Use this mode to determine the frequency of input pulses by counting the number of internal 5 MHz clock pulses over a user-specified number of input signal pulses. Each output is turned on as soon as the turn-on count is reached, and turned off as soon as the turn-off count is reached. As the internal 5 MHz clock is counted, the outputs dynamically track the 5 MHz count. This allows you to turn an output on a certain number of 5 MHz counts after the gate/reset pin goes active, and turn it off a certain number of 5 MHz counts later.

1794-VHSC module counts the total number of pulses occurring at the Z (gate/ reset) terminal. This function is frequency-limited to 200 Hz X the scaler value. This total count is returned in input file words 4 (LSW) and 5 (MSW) for channel 0 and 6 (LSW) and 7 (MSW) for channel 1. You can reset this count by setting the VR bit.

Rate Measurement Mode

Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM010D-EN-E - July 2013 11

Use the rate measurement mode to count incoming pulses for a user-specified time interval. At the end of the interval, the module returns a value representing the sampled number of pulses and a value indicating the incoming frequency. When the count and frequency are updated, any associated outputs are checked against their associated presets.

The value representing the total number of pulses is returned in input file words 4 (LSW) and 5 (MSW) for channel 0 and 6 (LSW) and 7 (MSW) for channel 1, and the value indicating the incoming frequency is returned in words 0 (LSW) and 1 (MSW) and 2 (LSW) and 3 (MSW). The total count equals the running sum of the number of pulses received during the sample period. The operation of rate measurement mode is shown in Figure Operation of the Rate Measurement

Mode on page 12.

In , three counts have been accumulated during the user-selected time period. If you had selected 50 ms as the sample period, the frequency returned to the programmable controller processor would be:

Frequency = Counts/Sample period = 3 counts/50 ms = 60 Hz

Sample Period

You can set the sample period used in the frequency calculation in the rate measurement mode. Allowable values are 10 ms to 3 s in 10 ms increments. The default value is 1 s.

Connection to Counter Inputs

The only user connections used in the rate measurement mode are to phase A of the module. The Z (gate/reset) and channel B terminals are not used in this mode.

Pulse Width Modulation

The module can generate a pulse width modulation signal that may be tied to any output. By specifying a period (configuration word 2) and gate interval (configuration word 2 or 3) together with the PWM configuration word 2 or 3, a counter and its first ON/OFF window comparator is assigned and the signal generated. The actual duty cycle is specified by output words 2 and 3.

Overview of the Very High Speed Counter Module

Output turns on at count value of 2000

Output remains energized for 3000 additional counts

Output turns off at count value of 5000

Outputs

The 1794-VHSC module has 4 outputs, isolated in groups of 2. Each of the outputs is capable of sourcing current and will operate between 5 and 24V DC. You must connect an external power supply to each of the outputs. The outputs can source 1 A DC alone or in combination. The outputs are hardware-driven and will turn on in about 25 s when the appropriate count value has been reached.

Enabling and Forcing Outputs

Outputs may be forced on or off independent of count or frequency value. To force the outputs, they must first be enabled. Enabling the outputs is done through a data table word 1, bits 1, 5, 9 and 13 (see Figure 1794-VHSC — High

Speed Counter Module Image Table Mapping on page 35). Once the outputs

have been enabled, they may be forced on by setting bits 0, 4, 8 or 12 in word 1. The outputs can be forced off by setting the enable bit to 0.

Assigning Outputs to Counter Windows

By setting bits in the configuration block, you can assign the outputs on the module to any of the various counter windows. You can assign any output to any count window with no restrictions.

Operation of Outputs

When the outputs for the 1794-VHSC module are enabled and assigned to a counter window they operate in an ON-OFF fashion. For example, assume that the module were programmed to turn ON an output when a count value of 2000 was reached. Further, assume that the user desired to have the output remain energized for a period of 3000 counts and then turn OFF. The end result would be that the outputs would turn ON at count of 2000, would remain energized for 3000 additional counts, and would turn OFF at 5000 counts. The ON and OFF values are circular around zero (see Figure On-Off Operation of Output

page 13).

On-Off Operation of Output

Using output 0 as an example, when the value in Counter ON Value is less than the value in Counter OFF Value, the output turns on at 2000 and off at 5000. If the value in Counter ON Value is greater than the value in Counter OFF Value, the output turns off at 2000 and on at 5000 (see Figure Effect of Values in On/

Off Operation on page 14).

Isolation of Outputs

The module provides 850V DC isolation between each of the outputs and the FlexBus.

Connecting Outputs to Counters

You can connect any of the outputs to any of the counter inputs. In this way, it is possible to use the outputs to reset a counter or to cascade counters. If using the outputs this way, make certain that the output voltage is compatible with the chosen input.

What the Module Does

The very high speed counter module performs high-speed scaling calculation operations for various industrial applications. The module interfaces with a FLEX I/O family EtherNet/IP adapter which then communicates with a programmable controller processor.

The adapter/power supply transfers data to and from the module over the FlexBus. Instructions in the programmable controller facilitate this communication and let you write output values and configure the module’s mode of operation. Figure FLEX I/O Communication Process on page 15 describes the communication process.

One 1794-AENT or 1794-AENTR EtherNet/IP adapter can interface up to eight terminal base units with installed FLEX I/O modules, forming a FLEX I/O system of up to eight slots. The adapter communicates to other network system components (typically one or more controllers or scanners, and/or programming terminals) over the EtherNet/IP network. The adapter communicates with its I/O modules over the backplane.

Scheduled Data-Transfer

Scheduled data transfer:

•is continuous

• is asynchronous to the ladder-logic program scan

• occurs at the actual rate displayed in the Actual Packet Interval field on the programming software I/O mapping (monitor) screen

Unscheduled Data-Transfer

Unscheduled operations include:

• unscheduled non-discrete I/O data transfers — through I/O transfer instructions

• peer-to-peer messaging — through Message (MSG) instructions

• messaging from programming devices

Unscheduled messaging on an EtherNet/IP network is non-deterministic. Your application and your configuration — number of nodes, application program, NUT, amount of scheduled bandwidth used, and so on — determine how much time there is for unscheduled messaging.

Module I/O Mapping

The I/O map for the 1794-VHSC module is divided into read words and write words. Read words consist of input and status words, and write words consist of output and configuration words. The number of read words or write words can be 0 or more. The length of each I/O modules read words and write words vary in size depending on module complexity. Each I/O module will support at least 1 input word or 1 output word. Status and configuration are optional, depending on the module. The 1794-VHSC module has 9 input words, no status words, 4 output words and 56 configuration words.

Application of New Configurations

When a configuration is sent to the 1794-VHSC module, it is checked for consistency before being applied. If an error is found in the configuration, the PE bit (input word 8, bit 15) is asserted and the module locally retains its previous configuration. To isolate any problems an improperly configured module may have, the user application program (ladder program, for instance) should monitor this error.

Safe State Data

Device Actions

Possible causes for an I/O module fault are:

• transmission errors on the FLEX I/O backplane

•a failed module

• a module removed from its terminal base

• an incorrect module inserted in a slot position

• an empty slot

• a non-discrete module in the slot

The EtherNet/IP adapter does not provide storage for alternate module output data during communication faults or processor idle state. This safe state data is stored in the 1794-VHSC module and may be defined using configuration software. Safe state data assures that a known output will be applied to the output devices to maintain a previously designated safe operating condition during the previously mentioned failure modes. This data is sent in the configuration block. For more information, Table 1794-VHSC — High Speed Counter Module

Image Table Mapping on page 35.

Device actions include:

• communication fault behavior

• idle state behavior

• input data behavior upon module removal

32 Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM010D-EN-E - July 2013

Communicate With Your Module

Communication Fault Behavior

You can configure the 1794-VHSC response to a communication fault. Upon detection of a communication fault, the module can:

• leave the module output data in its last state (hold last state)

• reset the module output data to zero (reset)

• apply safe state data to the module output

Idle State Behavior

The 1794-VHSC module responds to idle state according to the Communication Fault Behavior described above. The module can:

• leave the module output data in its last state (hold last state)

• reset the module output data to zero (reset)

• apply safe state data to the module output

Input Data Behavior upon Module Removal

I/O module input data sent by the adapter upon module removal is configurable. The adapter can:

• reset the module output data to zero (reset)

• leave the module output data in the last state before module removal (hold last state)

Frequency/Resolution Enhancement

This mode is only for use in modules with firmware revision D or later.

Frequency/Resolution Enhancement is a precise configuration which handles the decimal position adjustment to frequency count. Using this mode allows the module to read the frequency up to two positions to the right or left of the decimal place. For example, a rounded frequency of 13 Hz can be displayed as 1257 or 12.57. The mode is only valid when the module is configured for Period Rate or Continuous Rate.

Frequency Resolution/Enhancement reports the frequency back as a floating point value in a single word and allows configuration of decimal places of resolution.

The upper byte of the counter control word (output word 0) is reserved for special mode, Enhancing Frequency/Resolution. In this mode, you can change significant digits of frequency display based on output word 2 for channel 0 and output word 3 for channel 1. Decimal point placement is absolute positioning. -2

Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM010D-EN-E - July 2013 33

moves decimal point left 2 places dividing the frequency value by 100; +1 moves the decimal point 1 place, multiplying by 10, and so on. This allows frequency values to fit in a single word.

Applying the Frequency/Resolution Enhancement

To use this mode, proceed as follows.

ATTENTION: Use this enhancement mode with caution since no checks are performed to verify data. Unintended operation can occur.

1. Power up the FLEX chassis, or put the controller into RUN mode, or both. Let the 1794-VHSC module initialize as normal. Wait for the OK indicator on the module to go solid green.

2. You must place ladder logic in your PLC that performs the following: a. Set a value between -4 and +2 into output word 2 and/or 3. b. Then set (1) the M11 bit in the upper byte of control word 0.

When the upper byte of the output word is not zero, the status indicator flashes red, and the TF bit (bit 12, input word 8) is asserted.

c. Next, reset (0) the M11 bit in the upper byte of output control word 0.

Clearing the upper byte of output word 0 restores the module to an operational state, clears the TF bit in input word 8 and returns the indicator to green. The module is now in enhanced mode.

3. To tu rn th is f ea t ur e o f f : a. Set output word 2 or 3 to zero (no value) b. Set (1) the M11 bit c. Then reset (0) the M11 bit

Channel 0 current count – The current count consists of 2 words (32 bits) representing the current count of the 24-bit counter (in encoder, X2 encoder, X4 encoder, PWM) or the frequency (in periodrate, continuousrate, rate measurement.). The range of values is (0 < value < 16,777,215).

Channel 1 current count – The current count consists of 2 words (32 bits) representing the current count of the 24-bit counter (in encoder, X2 encoder, X4 encoder, PWM) or the frequency (in period/rate, continuous/rate, rate measurement.). The range of values is (0 < value < 16,777,215).

Channel 0 stored/accumulated count – These are 32-bit long word values representing the stored count of the counter at the time of some specified event.

These words are not updated in counter modes (counter, X1 encoder, X2 encoder, X4 encoder) without store modes selected. With store modes selected, it is the counter value at the time of the specified Z input event.

In PWM configuration, it is the counter value at the end of the period specified by the product of the time base times gate interval.

In period/rate and continuous/rate, it is the total accumulation of unscaled Z pulses (if scaling is set to 128, the accumulator will increase by 128 counts). The maximum frequency that accumulation can follow is (200Hz X Scaler value).

In rate measurement, it is the total number of pulses seen at the A input accumulated over each period as specified by the product of time base times gate interval. The range of values occupy the entire 32-bit size from 0 < value < 4,294,967,295. These words are not cleared by changing the configuration.

Channel 1 stored/accumulated count – These are 32-bit long word values representing the stored count of the counter at the time of some specified event.

These words are not updated in counter modes (counter, X1 encoder, X2 encoder, X4 encoder) without store modes selected.With store modes selected, it is the counter value at the time of the specified Z input event.

In PWM configuration, it is the counter value at the end of the period specified by the product of the time base times gate interval.

An error code will be set in the module/channel status word which can be read using an instruction. The TF bit is also asserted if the upper byte of the counter control word is not zero.

The upper byte of the counter control word (output word 0) is reserved for special mode, Enhancing Frequency/Resolution. To use this mode, set bit 11, and set a value in output word 2 and/or word 3. When the upper byte of word 0 is not zero, the red module status indicator will flash and the TF bit is asserted to indicate the module has entered a test-mode state. Clearing the upper byte of output word 0 restores the module to an operation state, clears the TF bit and returns the indicator to green.

Change significant digits of frequency display based on word 14 for channel 0 and word 15 for channel 1 (-2 moves decimal point left 2 places dividing the frequency value by 100; +1 moves the decimal point 1 place, multiplying by 10, and so on).

This allows frequency values to fit in a single word. Note: To use Frequency/Resolution Enhancement feature provides

appropriate configuration for each frequency mode (Mode 5,6,7). Firmware revision D changed decimal point placement to absolute

positioning. Revision D firmware also checks for placement to be in the range of -4…+2. A value outside the range moves the decimal point to the zero position. Moving the decimal point to the left allows high frequencies, (commonly present in rate measurement) to fit within a single word. Moving the decimal point to the right allows low frequencies (commonly present in period and continuous rate modes) to have resolution displayed to 0.1 Hz and 0.01 Hz. Do not use scalars of Z/ 128, Z/64, Z/32 and Z/16 when using this test mode.

Counter 1

Channel 0 PWM Output value – When the module is configured for PWM, the time base is enabled, the counter for the respective channel, its gate interval, rollover and 1st on and 1st off value are used. Ties can be used to direct the PWM signal to any or all outputs.

The range of the PWM values is 0 ≤ value ≤ 9500 decimal (for instance,

0.00% ≤ value ≤ 95.00%). The actual duty cycle at the output depends on the turn on and turn off times of the MOSFET, energy storage capability of the cable/load and the resistance from output to return.

Channel 1 PWM Output value – When the module is configured for PWM, the time base is enabled, the counter for the respective channel, its gate interval, rollover and 1st on and 1st off value are used. Ties can be used to direct the PWM signal to any or all outputs.

Time base – Sets the fundamental time base for both counters. Resolution in ms, with a minimum of 10 ms intervals (10 ms = 10; 1 s = 1000).

Time base must be entered when PWM and rate measurement are configured. The maximum programmed value is 3000.

Channel 0 Gate interval – Sets the individual counter gate interval using the time base setting as its time unit.

Actual gate interval is time base X gate interval (for instance, time base of 10 X gate interval of 5 = 50 ms). Maximum value is 3 s.

Gate interval must be entered when PWM and rate measurement are configured. Channel 1 Gate interval – Sets the individual counter gate interval using the time base setting as its time unit.

Actual gate interval is time base X gate interval (for instance, time base of 10 X gate interval of 5 = 50 ms). Maximum value is 3 s.

Gate interval must be entered when PWM and rate measurement are configured.

Do not use – reserved.

Channel 0 Rollover – Sets the number of counts the counter accumulates before rolling over. For example, a setting of 1000 produces a count sequence of 998, 999, 0, 1, 2... while incrementing; and 2, 1, 0, 999, 998... while decrementing. Rollover is a 32-bit number with a usable range of 16,777,216. In PWM, this value is zero; in count, X1 encoder, X2 encoder and X4 encoder configurations, it must be some specified nonzero number. The value doesn.t matter in period/rate, continuous/rate and rate measurement configurations.

Channel 1 Rollover – Sets the number of counts the counter accumulates before rolling over. For example, a setting of 1000 produces a count sequence of 998, 999, 0, 1, 2... while incrementing; and 2, 1, 0, 999, 998... while decrementing.

Channel 0 Scaler – This word scales the Z signal in period/rate and continuous/rate modes. If the filter is applied, the filtered Z signal is scaled. Set only 1 bit of the Scaler.

Selecting a Scaler causes accumulated counts to be adjusted accordingly (for instance, selecting a Scaler of 128 increases the accumulated count by 128 after 128 Z pulses have been received).

We recommend using the filter to reduce erroneous frequency readings any time you use the Scaler on the Z input.

Channel 1 Scaler – This word scales the Z signal in period/rate and continuous/rate modes. If the filter is

applied, the filtered Z signal is scaled. Set only 1 bit of the Scaler. Selecting a Scaler causes accumulated counts to be adjusted accordingly (for instance, selecting a Scaler of 128

increases the accumulated count by 128 after 128 Z pulses have been received).

Output Ties – These bits connect the specified output to the appropriate compare window. There are 8 windows, 4 per counter. Each output can be connected to any number of windows, from 1 to 8.

F1 = Tie output to first counter 1st window F2 = Tie output to first counter 2nd window F3 = Tie output to first counter 3rd window F4 = Tie output to first counter 4th window S1 = Tie output to second counter 1st window S2 = Tie output to second counter 2nd window S3 = Tie output to second counter 3rd window S4 = Tie ouput to second counter 4th window Set to 0.

Counter On and Off – These words program each of the 4 counter.s (first and second counter) on and off values. The first compare window for each counter is used in PWM, and when programmed for PWM, the associated compare window should remain at 0. The range of each entry is 0 ≤ value ≤ 16,777,215. When a tie is connected to a window comparator, that window must be specified. These windows are always interpreted as counts, regardless of the configuration setting, and can be computed as follows:

counts = (Scaler X 2.5E6)/desired frequency (for period/rate and continuous/rate) counts = time base X desired frequency (for rate measurement)

Safe State Values – When the PLC transitions to PROG mode or a communication fault occurs, the module copies the safe state words into its real time working buffer. The definitions are identical to the those in the counter control word, except entering a PWM safe state value outside the range 0…9500 results in a Hold Last State.

Word 52 is Counter Control Safe State; word 53 is Output Control Safe State; word 54 is Channel 0 PWM Safe State word 55 is Channel 1 PWM Safe State.

Interpret Status Indicators for your FLEX I/O Module

Overview

Status Indicators

Use this chapter to troubleshoot the very high speed counter module by interpreting the indicators.

The module contains indicators for each of the following:

1794-VHSC Module

A = Status Indicators –

A — Status of input A B — Status of input B Z — Status of gate input Z

The indicators are multiplexed in 2 groups (A0, B0, Z0, O0/O1; and A1, B1, Z1, O2/O3) at a frequency of 488Hz. If inputs or outputs change at or near that frequency, the associated indicator will vary in brightness.

B = Insertable label for writing individual I/O assignments.

Rockwell Automation Publication 1794-UM010D-EN-E - July 2013 47

C = Power/status indicator - indicates power applied to module and status of module.

Interpret Status Indicators for your FLEX I/O Module

Use the following table to determine the indicator conditions and status.

Status Indicator Identification

Indicator State Status

A (status of input A) Yellow Input A active.

Off Input A not active.

B (status of input B) Yellow Input B active.

Off Input B not active.

Z (status of input Z) Yellow Input Z active.

Off Input Z not active.

Out O, 1, 2, 3 Yellow Output is on.

Off Individual output is off.

When an active indicator (yellow) is lighted, a valid signal (active high or active low) is present at the input terminals.

The module power/status indicator (OK) shows power applied to the module, and the status of the module.

Power/Status Indicator Interpretation

Indicator State Status

OK Solid red • Hardware diagnostic error, TF set to 1 and

module/channel status contains error code.

• Hardware runtime failure (that is, watchdog timeout),

module communication ceases.

Flashing red • Module is configuring hardware, NR is set to 1.

• Module is in test mode (bits 8…15 of counter control

word are nonzero), TF set to 1.

Flashing red (with occasional flashing green)

Solid green Module is active and acting normally. Flashing green • Module is not configured.

Module 24V power is below minimum rating.

• Programming error, PE is set to 1 and error code is

supplied in bits 0…11 of module/channel status word.

• Field power fault, FP set to 1.

• Adapter powered down, and module local power

still active.

• ControlNet cable disconnected.

• PLC in PROG mode.
