FM250 Mode14_15
Part No: AW FM250-M1415
.
This Function Block has been designed for Mode 14 and 15 of the FM250 high speed counter card from VIPA.

It allows quick setup and usage of the FM250 in mode 14 or 15 without the user writing the configuration code

Load value = The starting value of your count (double integer)
Compare Value = The point in the count where you want the output to toggle and the Load Value to be reloaded to restart your count. (double integer)
Start Address = in STEP7 hardware catalogue what is the start address of the FM250 eg: 256 would be PIW 256. (integer)
Couter 0 or 1 = The FM250 in mode 14/15 has 2 x 32 bit counters. This function block is designed to allow you to configure both of these counters for use, but you must tell the function block which counter you are using it on.
Reload config = When you put a rising edge on this input the function block loads the Load Value and then the compare value to the FM250. (bit 0 or 1)
Finished = This turns on for 1 scan when the data has been succesfully loaded. You do not need to have anything on this input, but you can use it if you need to tell the rest of your code when the config data has been loaded OK. (bit 0 or 1)
