36 Interrupt Function and Pulse Catch Function
36.8 Pulse width/Pulse period measurement function [M8075 to M8079, D8074 to D8097]
36.8 Pulse width/Pulse period measurement function [M8075 to M8079, D8074
to D8097]
The pulse width/pulse period measurement function stores the values of 1/6 µs ring counters at the input signal rising
edge and falling edge to special data registers. This function also divides by "60" the difference in the counter value
(pulse width) between the rising edge and the falling edge or the difference in the counter value (pulse period)
between the previous rising edge and the current rising edge, and stores the obtained pulse width or pulse period in
units of 10 µs to special data registers.
The pulse width/pulse period measurement function becomes valid when a program is described using M8075 as a
contact. Specify the pulse width measurement flag in the subsequent OUT instruction, and set an input terminal to be
used.
When the pulse width/pulse period measurement function is valid, it always operates while the PLC mode is RUN.
Assignment of special auxiliary relays and special data registers
*1. Cleared when the PLC mode switches from STOP to RUN.
*2. The measurable pulse width is 10 µs minimum and 100 s maximum.
The measurable pulse period is 20 µs minimum and 100 s maximum.

instruction.
The main program is described.
X000 is used for the pulse width/pulse period
measurement function.
When the interrupt routine is executed at the
falling edge of the input signal from X000, the
pulse width of input signal from X000 stored in
D8078 and D8079 is transferred to D1 and D0.
