Primary counting direction down
Down-counting from the load value
If the end value +1 is reached during counting in the
negative direction, the counter jumps to the load value at
the next count pulse and continues counting from there.
In addition, a process alarm can be triggered if it is
parametrized.
It is possible to count beyond the lower count limit.

Additional counter features
Overview
You can set the additional features listed below for the coun-
ter by parametrizing the UR20 2CNT-100:
By entering a comparison value, the digital output is acti-
vated or a process alarm is triggered depending on the
counter value
Hysteresis
It is possible to prevent frequent switching of the output
and/or triggering of the alarm, e.g. when the value of a
sensor signal fluctuates around the comparison value, by
setting the hysteresis
The gure illustrates how counting behaviour is affected
by the additional features. These additional features are ex-
plained in the following pages.
