4.2 - Wiring the user inputs for use as counters
GS120 user inputs can be congured to run in counter mode. To enable the counter
mode options, User input 1 must rst be set to Counter (see 6.4B). User input 1 is
always used as the count pulse input. Counter inputs are wired as shown below:
User input 1
User input 2
User input 3
Common
Sensor 1
Sensor 2
Sensor 3
Multiple sensors may be connected, and any combination of NPN, TTL and switch
contacts may be used for sensors 1, 2 or 3.

In counter mode, additional options become available:
›Slow debounced counter mode and Restore count at power on may be acti-
vated or deactivated (see 6.4C-D).
›Additional input functions will become available on user inputs 2 & 3: Count
direction, Gated count, and Reset count (see 6.4E-F and Appendix C).
Note that when using counter mode, it is advisable to set both the Com 1 and Com 2
inputs to Disabled (see 6.2D). If Com 1 and/or Com 2 are still active, then the count
value will be summed with the values obtained via the serial ports.
