The pulses are captured by the binary input module and then readby the PCFCNT function. A scaled service value is available over the station bus. Thespecial Binary input module with enhanced pulse counting capabilities must beordered to achieve this functionality.17.1.3 Function blockPCFCNTBLOCKREAD_VALBI_PULSE*RS_CNTINVALIDRESTARTBLOCKEDNEW_VALSCAL_VALIEC14000043-1-en.vsdIEC09000335 V3 ENFigure 453: PCFCNT function block1MRK502052-UEN B Section 17Metering981Technical manual
