31.5.14.2 Pulse Output Usage Restrictions

For pulse outputs, when combining the number of CH and high-speed counters used, there is a limit to the maximum output frequency in the LT3000 Series.

While the pulse output maximum frequency is 65000 Hz, when combined with how many CH and high-speed counters are used as illustrated in the following table, there is a limit to the output frequency setting.

For example, when using 3 pulse output CH and 1 high-speed counter CH, the maximum output frequency per CH is 27027 Hz.

* "-" indicates cannot use.

* 2-phase counter has a maximum 2CH. In the table, 3 CH is for single phase counters.

Verification of these limits occur when the LT starts up and when parameters change.

When an error arises, error information is stored in the system variable (#L_ExIOSpParmErr). For details, see 31.5.9.4 Abnormal Status of Normal Pulse Output - Normal Pulse Output.
