VOL. 2 Shift register
Example Ejecting rejects
Outline
At position 1, the fiberoptic sensor checks whether the workpiece is acceptable or not. If the workpiece is rejected,
it is ejected at position 5.
When the detection position is different from the ejection position as shown in the figure, using the Shift instruction
is convenient.

The SHIFT instruction allows the sensor reject input to turn ON each specified internal utility relay sequentially.
Each utility relay turns ON synchronously when the reject reaches a specific stage on the conveyor. This reject will
be ejected from the conveyor when the eject output and final utility relay turn ON.

Each time the clock input sensor is activated, a workpiece travels from position 1 to 5 sequentially. Acceptance or
rejection values for the workpieces in position 1 to 5 are stored in internal relays 1000 to 1004, with a reject being
ejected, using compressed air, in position 5.

In circuit 1 shown above, reject detection signals cannot be transferred to the internal register
if the reject detection output relay is not turned ON while the clock input pulse is ON (if they
are not synchronized).
Then, program as follows:

VOL. 3 BCD data output (to BCD display)
Example Indicating the number of products
Outline
The number of products is counted by the internal counter of the KV, and the number is indicated on the BCD
display.
Without using an externally-mounted counter, the internal counter of the KV can indicate the count result on the
external BCD display. This enables centralized control of the system by the KV.

Setting of multi-level output with
VOL. 4 high-speed counter
Example Cutting a sheet of cloth to specified length
Outline
By using pulses fed from the encoder, the KV controls winding speed of a sheet of cloth to cut the cloth to the
specified length.
High speed pulses from the encoder are entered to the high-speed counter of the KV. Output signals are issued
respectively to decrease winding speed, to stop winding and for overrunning alarm, the preset values (the number
of pulses) are previously input into the data memory of the KV.
Cutter

Measurement of high-speed pulse
VOL. 7 period
Example Checking rotation pulse period of engine
Outline
The sensor detects the mark on the jig for the engine and emits a pulse each rotation. Using these pulses, the
pulse period during engine rotation at high speed is measured.
FS Series
Visual KV Series
Step 1: The rotation pulse period is obtained by counting the number of internal clock
pulses emitted by the KV.
To obtain the rotation pulse period, internal clock pulses (example: 100µs period) emitted during each rotation pulse
period are counted using the high-speed counter.
Pulse period
Rotation pulse
Internal clock
pulse (100 µs)
Internal clock pulse count
Rotation pulse period = internal clock pulse period: 100 µs x clock pulse count
Step 2: Use the INT instruction for programming the first step operation.
Rotation pulses are received by the KV through input 0003, and the pulse period is measured using the Interrupt
instruction.
INT
0003
When an interrupt is executed, the current value of the high-speed counter is automatically transferred to the data
memory (DM1934) at the rising edge of the pulse received at input 0003.
When this function is used, the clock pulse count equals the difference between the value of the high-speed coun-
ter obtained at the rising edge of the first rotation pulse and that of the second rotation pulse.

ENDH
0011
Note: Since the countable range of CTH1 is 00000 to 65535 in the above program example, measurable
rotation pulse period is between approx. 100 µs and approx. 6553 ms.
Tips Higher accuracy for this measurement can be obtained by using special utility relay 2200 or
2201 which enables the use of the 1 µs or 10 µs internal clock pulse of the KV. The countable
ranges are as follows.
• 1 µs: Approx. 1 µs to approx. 65 ms
• 10 µs: Approx. 10 µs to approx. 655 ms
When the clock pulses exceeds 65535 (maximum countable value by CTH1), use CTH0.
Then, up to 56 minutes (approx.) can be measured accurately.
Example:
1. Count internal clock pulses (100 µs) at the rising edge of the rotation pulse using CTH0,
and set the preset value to 50.
2. When the CHT0 count exceeds 50 (preset value), a direct clock pulse (period: 10 ms) is
output through output relay 500.
3. The rotation pulse period can be obtained by counting the number of direct clock pulses
emitted between the rising edge of the first rotation pulse and that of the second.

Tips To use 24-bit high-speed counter

The 24-bit high-speed counter can be used to count the pulses from the encoder by
setting the special utility relays. It allows reliable counting of the pulses that cannot be
counted with the 16-bit high-speed counter.
Setting method
Specify the 24-bit high-speed counter with the MEMSW instruction.
To set high-speed counter CTH0 To set high-speed counter CTH1
MEMSW MEMSW
$0800 $1000
The counter value is read at every scan and is stored in the following data memories.
DM1900: Low-order bits of current CTH0 value
DM1901: High-order bits of current CTH0 value
DM1902: Low-order bits of current CTH1 value
DM1903: High-order bits of current CTH1 value
By using the KV-D20 operator interface panel, you can display the current value of the 24-
bit high-speed counter in real time.

Example Storing the stop duration of equipment in memory as history
Outline
The stop duration of equipment is measured using the internal timer of the KV, and is stored into data memory
DM0000. When the equipment stops again, the previous stop duration is transferred to DM0001 and the current
stop duration is written into DM0000. The last 5 stop durations are stored.
Example:
When stop 1 (1 min), stop 2 (2 min and 28 sec), and stop 3 (51 sec) are input sequentially, the contents of each
data memory is changed, as follows, each time a new stop duration is input.
Stop 1 (1 min) Stop 2 (2 min and 28 sec) Stop 3 (51 sec)

Create an up-down counter using the INC instruction and DEC instruction.
• To count the total number of products on the line, the INC instruction is used.
➮ Refer to No. 1 “Counting total number of products”.
• Since the total count is stored in the data memory, the same number of pulses as the stored value are output to
the RC Series.
The CMP instruction checks

whether the value of the data memory is 0. This is repeated until the value of the
data memory is 0.
Each time a pulse is output, the value of

the data memory is decremented by one.
In the example from No.1 “Counting total number of products”, the data memory is used. When the temporary data
memory is used instead of the data memory, the value of the memory is reset to 0 automatically when power is
turned OFF.
Note 1: If the pulse period of the count input is very short, the RC’s display will not follow the flow of products.
Note 2: Use the KV with transistor or MOS-FET type outputs.

Visual KV Series Four errors are detected.
The KV checks whether each input relay is ON, and the number of relays that are ON are counted.
Use the RRA instruction to check the status of input relays.
Procedures
1. The status of the input relays of channel 0 are entered into the internal register using the LDA instruction.
2. Contents of the internal register are shifted right by one bit using the RRA instruction.
3. Contents of the rightmost bit is entered into special utility relay 2009. When the contents of 2009 is 1 (ON), 1 is
added to the number of errors.
The above operation is repeated 16 times (number of bits of channel 0).

As shown above, the status of error detection input relays only can be read, allowing the
number of errors to be counted.
When the input relays of another channel, in addition to channel 0, are also used for error
detection input, specify the desired channel for LDA and create the same program as the
above, then combine it with the above program.
➮ The number of error detection inputs can be counted using the INC instruction more easily than
using the C (Counter) instruction. For details, refer to No. 1 “Counting total number of products”.

On the 8th to 11th lines of the above program, the contents of data memory DM0000 is
made blank after a reject is ejected. To perform the next ejection, the contents of the next
data memory (DM0001) must be transferred to DM0000. Blank data memory is expressed as
$FFFF, and the contents of data memories DM0001 to DM0004 is transferred sequentially to
the previous data memory to fill the data memory where $FFFF is written.

VOL. 20 Frequency counter function
Example Counting the number of rotations using the frequency counter
Outline
With the frequency counter function, which the Visual KV Series features as standard, measure the time for the
output pulse of a rotating object received through input 0004 with the high-speed counter and convert it into a
frequency (Hz). The measured frequency is used for the calculation of the number of rotations (rpm).
Pulse
Proximity sensor
Visual KV Series
Applications: Detecting the reduction in the number of rotations of a magnet, detecting the reduction in the number
of rotations of an agitator, and measuring the frequency of a rotating object
The frequency counter function of high-speed counter CTH0 enables the measurement of the frequency of 30 kHz
at maximum.
Input the pulses for the frequency measurement to 0004. (In this case, phase B input 0006 is ignored.)
Devices used for the frequency counter function

Special utility relay
2305: Enable/disable the frequency counter function ON: Enable, OFF: Disable
Data memories
DM1404: Measurement cycle of frequency count (1 to 9999 [ms])
DM1405: Result of frequency count (Hz)
Turning ON special utility relay 2305 starts the frequency counter function. The measurement result (Hz) is stored in
DM1405.
To set the interval of the frequency measurement (ms), specify the value larger than the scanning time in DM1404
in the unit of ms.
The number of rotations can be obtained from the measured frequency with the following calculation:
No. of rotations (rpm) = Frequency (Hz) x 60 (sec.) / (No. of pulses for one rotation)
Note: When setting the measurement cycle, limit the number of pulses that are input during one measurement
cycle within the range of 2 to 65535.
The frequency counter function and high-speed counter CTH0 cannot be used at the same time.

Tips Calculation of passing speed

The passing speed is calculated with the following expression:
Passing speed (m/ms) = ((1) Distance between two points [Unit: m]) / ((2) Passing time [Unit: ms])
In the program above, the passing time is measured in the unit of µs. Therefore, the meas-
ured value is multiplied by the factor of 1000 (2) to be converted into the value in the unit of
ms. The calculation uses 1 m (1) as the distance between the two points.
To set the distance between the two points in the unit of cm, multiply it by the factor of 100 as
the underlined section in the following program. The unit of speed is set to cm/ms.

By counting the pulses from the encoder, control the feeding amount of cloth and cut it at a specified length.

Application: Cutting products at a specified length
This control requires three preset values of the number of pulses to determine deceleration, stopping, and
overrunning points.
The program of multi-step comparator operation can be simplified by using the multi-step comparator mode of the
high-speed counter’s cam switch function.
In the multi-step comparator mode, the value in DM1401 is compared with each preset value (DM 1406 to
DM1469). When the value in DM1401 is larger than the preset value, the corresponding relay is turned ON/OFF.
Up to 32 points can be set as the preset values.
High-speed counter CTH1 counts the pulses from the encoder received through inputs 0005 and 0007. The current
value of CTH1 is transferred to DM1401 as the value for comparison.
Set the preset values (comparator values) in DM1406 to DM1469 before the operation.
To enable the multi-step comparator operation, turn ON special utility relay 2314.
To stop the operation, turn OFF special utility relay 2715.
