FM 350-1 COUNTER MODULE Function The FM 350-1 off-loads the CPU by: Direct connection of incremental encoders Direct connection for gate signals (light barrier etc.) using integrated digital inputs. A comparison function and output of response using integrated digital output modules. The following functions are provided: 1 channel for upcounting and downcounting; 32 bit Counting frequency up to 500 khz (RS 422 encoders) Counting range 0 to 32 bit or +/- 31 bit, as required One-shot or periodic counting process 1-, 2- or 4-fold evaluation Incremental encoder can be connected Gate control via levels, pulses or software control Setting via the digital input Counter can be loaded with a predefined starting value Comparison function using two selectable comparison values Page 1158 Mar 2008 Siemens ITS
Interrupt response when a comparison value is reached, zero crossing, range violation (selectable) Output signal (24 V-level) that the comparison function controls: With jointly selectable pulse duration or as a continuous signal from the comparison value to the limit of the counting range. Standard Function Blocks CNT_CTRL (FC 0) For controlling the counters of the FM 350-1 DIAG_INF (FC 1) For providing the diagnostic information of the FM 350-1 Mode of operation The FM 350-1 counter module detects pulses from incremental encoders at up to 500 khz, as a function of directly connectable gate signals. It evaluates the direction of the pulses and compares the actual value with two comparison values, which can be preset.there are two possibilities available to output the reaction to the process: 2 digital outputs; they can be configured using the selectable minimum pulse or with level switching. Backplane bus; the FM 350-1 can send an alarm signal to the CPU via the integrated backplane bus. Page 1159 Mar 2008 Siemens ITS
Operating Modes Continuous counting One-shot counting Periodic counting After the gate is enabled, endless counting takes place between the lower and upper count limit from the starting value After the gate is enabled, the system counts once from the starting value to the upper or lower limit depending on the main count direction Main counting direction up: from 0 to the programmable range limit Main counting direction down: from the programmable start value to 0 After the gate is enabled, periodic counting takes place from the starting value within the programmed counting range depending on the main count direction Main counting direction up: periodic from 0 to the programmed range limit 1 Main counting direction down: periodically from the programmed start value to 1 Parameterization Parameters are assigned with STEP 7 with the help of parameterization screen forms. A configuring package is available for this purpose. Technical specifications Page 1160 Mar 2008 Siemens ITS
