7-5 Pulse Inputs
7-5-1 Applicable Models
7-5-2 Outline
The FQM1-MMP21 and FQM1-MMA21 Motion Control Modules can receive
pulse inputs. The following table shows the processes that can be performed
by combining the pulse input function with the high-speed counters to count
pulse signals from a rotary encoder or other device and perform processing
based on the counter PV.
Note Interrupts cannot be generated for range comparisons. Only bit patterns are
output.
The high-speed counter PV movement during a fixed time interval (equivalent
to the travel distance) and the high-speed counter’s frequency can also be
monitored as required.

Process Description
Target value comparison
interrupts
An interrupt task is executed when the high-speed
counter PV equals a preset target value.
Bit pattern outputs for
range comparisons
When the high-speed counter PV is within a specified
range, the user-set bit pattern specified in the compari-
son table is output internally.
Measurement
modes 1 and 2
Movement in the high-speed counter or input pulse
counting speed can be displayed while monitoring the
high-speed counter PV.
High-speed counter PV
latch
High-speed counters 1 and 2 each have a latch register.
Two latch inputs can be used to capture the high-speed
counter PVs at high speed.
