Cf. here.

The Logix manual says the CTD instruction behaves like this:

But I think, and the flow charts on the subsequent pages imply, it might actually behave like this:

Could someone with actual knowledge and/or hardware please confirm which it is? My MicroLogix does the latter, AFAICT, but assuming the 500 and 5000 instructions are identical seems less than wise.

L75 controller V31 works as shown on second diagram - tested

Edit: Also tested L85E in V34 - second diagram is correct, DN bit goes OFF after ACC<PRE

My understanding of things is that the latter is correct (ie DN is true when ACC >= PRE). Give me a few minutes and I'll test with 5000 to verify.

EDIT: It does indeed in a 5380 running v32.

In fact, given that CTU and CTD adjust the DN bit regardless of the rung-in condition, it would be somewhat absurd to do it the other way -- otherwise any program that used both a CTU and CTD with the same counter tag/data would constantly toggle the DN bit when the ACC was equal to PRE.

Thanks both of you.

Yes, I though it seemed absurd as well, but with Rockwell I thought it was better to ask.

Those manuals are pretty good, a gold standard that makes all others seem like Pb, but there are still the odd typos.
