AKT2G-DN-002-000
Up/Down Counter 24 VDC, 100 kHz, 32 bit counter depth
Jump to a section on this page:
The up/down counter counts binary pulses, and transmits the counter state, in an electrically isolated form, to the higher-level automation device.
The AKT2G-DN-002 EtherCAT***EtherCAT is an open, high-performance Ethernet-based fieldbus system. The development goal of EtherCAT was to apply Ethernet to automation applications which require short data update times (also called cycle times) with low communication jitter (for synchronization purposes) and low hardware costs Terminal can alternatively be operated as:
- a single-channel counter (32 bit) that can be toggled between counting up and down via the U/D input (delivery state)
- a single-channel counter (32 bit) that is controlled via the gate connection
- two separate logic counters (32 bit) that can count in one direction only with the Clock 1 and Clock 2 inputs
The signal state of the inputs and outputs is indicated by light emitting diodes.
The two outputs (Output 1 and Output 2) are switched in relation to the counter value and can thus be used as fast control signals for field devices.
The AKT2G-DN-002 supports distributed clocks, i.e. the input data can be monitored synchronously with other data that are also linked to distributed clock terminals. The accuracy across the system is < 100 ns.

Basic Function Principles
The AKT2G-DN-002 input terminals count binary pulses and transfer the current value to the higher-level controller.
In addition to the 32 bit up/down counter, further available operating modes are a 32 bit gated counter or two 32 bit counters. In gated counter mode, a low or high level at the Gate input inhibits the counting function of the terminal.
If two 32 bit counters are active, the U/D input (terminal point 1) is configured as the input for the first counter and the Clock 2 input (terminal point 5) as the input for the second counter.
Beyond that, two digital outputs can be set.
The maximum input frequency is limited to 100 kHz for the AKT2G-DN-002; the counters react to the rising edgeA rising edge is the transition of a digital signal from low to high. It is also called positive edge of the input signal.
Operating Mode Selection
The following operation modes are possible.

Single-channel up/down counter, gated counter (operating mode 1-3)
- Selection of the PDOs for "1Ch.+/-Counter"
- CoE Init-command to configure index 0x8020:05:
- "Enable UD counter" – single-channel up/down counter (operating mode 1)
If a high signal level is encountered at the up/down input of the terminal (terminal point 1), the counter counts up in the event of positive edges at the clock input (terminal point 5), with a low signal level it counts down. - "Enable pos. gate" – single-channel gated counter closes in the case of a high level (operating mode 2)
The counter is inhibited if a high level is encountered at the gate input of the terminal (terminal point 1).
The counting direction is set by index 0x8020:04 (0: up, 1: down). The clock input (terminal point 5) indicates the individual pulses. - "Enable neg. gate" – single-channel gated counter closes in the case of a low level (operating mode 3)
The counter is inhibited if a low level is encountered at the gate input of the terminal (terminal point 1).The counting direction is set by index 0x8020:04 (0: up, 1: down).
The clock input (terminal point 5) indicates the individual pulses.
- "Enable UD counter" – single-channel up/down counter (operating mode 1)
Two-channel up/down counter (operating mode 4)
- Selection of the PDOs for "2Ch. Counter"
The terminal points 1 or 5 serve as clock input for 32 bit counter 1 or 2. - CoE Init-commands to configure the indices 0x8000:04 for channel 1 and 0x8010:04 for channel. Two options are available per channel:
- 0: up counter
- 1: down counter
