hello i did this program that withe 1 input received 3 signals  that simulate 3 types of coins that i separated is there a way to count coins use comparators block not using time 

i have an input that gives this type of sgnal

 the coin 0.50€ is correspond 1 pulse
 the coin 1,00€ correspond 2pulse
the coin 2,00€ correspond 3 pulse 

and i want to comparator the pulses to count the coin 

ok maybe i will explain what im tring to say doing other type of program

you have input


I1- bottom

outputs

Q1
Q2
Q3

when you press the bottom I1 one time will activate the output Q1
when you press the bottom I1 two times  wil activate the output Q2
when you press the bottom I1 three times wil activate the output Q3

Hello joaogato,

As I understand you, you have a coin counter that, depending on the coin, has up to 3 pulses each with an edge duration of 1ms, followed by a 1ms pause. So a total duration of 5 ms. Is it correct that way ?

And how long is the minimum duration between two pulse sequences?

This will not work with the threshold switches in your program. These count the pulses within the gate window (G_T). If a pulse sequence occurs while the gate window is changing, one or more may fall into the next gate.

You could use the fast counter for this, which resets itself in a cycle or two after being triggered. The time should be sufficient to evaluate the counter value and to trigger the actual counters for the individual coins.

It is important that the interval between two pulse sequences of the coin counter is longer than the reset time of the high-speed counter (longer than two cycles).

yes Ella thats what i want exacly i dont know exacly the time but put the time  at 10ms then i will adjust the time.

yes ixo im following do that program and send me and i will see if it works

Hello joaogato,

As ixo65 has already written, the limit is 32767 and thus 327.50 €.

However, your smallest coin is 0.50 € ! If you multiply by 5, 10 and 20 instead of 50, 100 and 200 and add the missing "0" graphically, you get a maximum value of 3276.50 € (see example).
