Description

The Counter Limited block counts up until the specified upper limit is reached. Then the counter wraps back to zero, and restarts counting up. The counter is always initialized to zero.

You can specify the upper limit with the Upper limit parameter.

You can specify the sample time with the Sample time parameter. A Sample time of -1 means that the sample time is inherited.

The output is an unsigned integer of 8, 16, or 32 bits, with the smallest number of bits needed to represent the upper limit.

Data Type Support

The Counter Limited block outputs an unsigned integer.

Parameters and Dialog Box

Upper limit: Upper limit.
Sample time: Specify the time interval between samples. To inherit the sample time, set this parameter to -1. See Specifying Sample Time.
