Pulse/Internal Direction Mode Selection
When the Pulse/Internal Direction mode is selected, the status of the Direction
Invert bit, as controlled by the user program, determines the direction of the
counter. The counter increments on the rising edge of the module’s A input
when the Direction Invert bit is reset (0). The counter decrements on the rising
edge of the A input when the Direction Invert bit is set (1).
