high speed counter?
« on: January 18, 2009, 03:56:13 PM »
I have a DO6 and I'm wanting to use the high speed counter. The problem is in order to log the data I'm trying to get I need to get about 400 counts a second. It seems like after a certain point it stops counting. Currently I was using a prox switch for the input. I have been able to use this same prox on a different plc and I got the counts that I need Is there another table that I haven't been able to find to adjust the on or off time of the counter?

are you using the DL06's internal high speed counter? or the h0-ctrio ?
Good design costs a lot. Bad design costs even more.

Using the DL06 internal high speed counter. I got it to work just required some more reading and it works rather well. Tested it today and I got it to go over 630 counts a second. It seemed like it would have went higher but my test motor was way overspead as it was.
