Synchronization Function

Overview

The synchronization function is used to set/reset the counter operation.

Description

This function is used to synchronize the counter depending on the status and the configuration of the optional SYNC physical input and the function block inputs F_Sync and EN_Sync.

This diagram illustrates the synchronization conditions:

G-SE-0005716.2.gif-high.gif

 

EN_Sync   input of the HSC function block

F_Sync   input of the HSC function block

SYNC   physical input SYNC

The function block output Sync_Flag is set to 1 when the Sync condition is reached.

The Sync condition operates on a rising edge.

Simple Type Specifications

Sync condition for a Simple type corresponds to the function block inputs Sync.

The synchronization function can be used in the following counting modes:

oOne shot counter: to preset and start the counter

oModulo loop counter: to reset and start the counter

Main Type Specifications

The SYNC input can be enabled in the configuration.

The synchronization function can be used in the following counting modes:

oOne shot counter: to preset and start the counter

oModulo loop counter: to reset and start the counter

oFree large counter: to preset and start the counter

oEvent counting: to restart the internal timer relative to the time base

oFrequency meter: to restart the internal timer relative to the time base

NOTE: In the Frequency meter mode, the synchronization function can only be activated with the function block pin F_Sync.
