FUNCTION BLOCK OPERATIONS
TIMERS
The 4513/4514 Group has the programmable timers.
Programmable timer
The programmable timer has a reload register and enables the
frequency dividing ratio to be set. It is decremented from a setting
value n. When it underflows (count to n + 1), a timer interrupt re-
quest flag is set to “1,” new data is loaded from the reload
register, and count continues (auto-reload function).
Fixed dividing frequency timer
The fixed dividing frequency timer has the fixed frequency divid-
ing ratio (n). An interrupt request flag is set to “1” after every n
count of a count pulse.
