The fast counter can be configured as one mode out of 10 possible modes. The desired operating mode is selected in the PLC configuration using configuration parameters. Inputs and outputs which are not used by the counter are available for other tasks. In the following table, A means input channel A, B means input channel B and C means output channel C.

Only 1 fast counter is available on the module. Input channel 0 is the default channel for fast counter. Input channel 1 can be used as another fast counter channel depending on fast counter mode. |
Only “Forward Counter” can be configured as fast counter mode for onboard IOs on AC500-eCo PLCs.
