Value PPr corresponds to the number of pulses generated per display unit: revolutions, meters,
etc. as required.
Example: Displaying the rotation speed of a shaft connected to an encoder that delivers 500
pulses/revolution. The display unit revolutions per minute means total of pulses per display unit
= 500.
Speed ratio
Programming of the display range that establishes the relationship between displayed values
and input frequency.

Decimal point of input frequency value
Decimal point position in the previously programmed input frequency.
Displayed value
The value entered here will be displayed upon the input signal reaching the
measured value. Ranging from -19999 to 19999
Decimal point in the displayed value
Decimal point position for the previously programmed display value.
Example of direct scaling:
To be displayed is production output per hour of a punching press producing 2 parts with every
stroke. An encoder generating 500 pulses per revolution is attached to the handwheel of the
press.
At nominal speed, the press completes 1 stroke per second:
n1 stroke of the press would generate 500 imp/sec.
nAt this speed, the hourly output is 2 (pieces) x 3600 (sec) = 7200 pieces/hour
Programming:
nDisplay range = Direct
nInP = 500
ndSP = 7200
Example of inverse scaling:
To be displayed is the baking time in the oven. An encoder with 50 pulses per revolution is at-
tached to the drive wheel of the conveyor.
At nominal speed, the cycle time through the oven is 75 s at a wheel speed of 300 rpm. The
pulse input frequency is 300 / 60 = 5 rpm and 5 x 50 pulses = 250 pulses per second.
Programming:
nDisplay range = inverse
n[InP] = 250
n[dSP] = 75

Main counter XP, totalizer Σ
Main counter XP can be configured for use in four operating modes:
nPulse counter
nHour counter
nTachometer
nFrequency meter
The totalizer Σ acts as a pulse counter or operating hour counter, according to the operating
mode selected for main counter XP.
Using totalizer Σ as a pulse counter like main counter XP, it may also act as a batch counter. In
this mode, the totalizer Σ is incremented every time the main counter XP is reaching one of the
selected limits.
Example: Main counter XP is to measure a cutting length and totalizer Σ is to count the number
of parts produced.

Example for multiplying scaling factor:
An encoder with 1000 pulses/revolution is attached to the shaft end of a spindle with 5 mm
pitch. To show the displacement in 1/100 mm, the factor is calculated 500 (1/100) / 1000 =
0.500.
