Productivity 1000 Series PLC Counter Instructions

A majority of programmable logic controller (PLC) programs will include a counter instruction. The Productivity 1000 Series PLC has a couple of different counter instructions for your program. Under the data handling instructions, we have the increment/decrement instruction (INC). We could use this with the compare contact (CMP) instruction that we discussed in our Contact and Coil Instructions (Video) to create a counter application. The productivity suite software has a Simple Counter (SCNT) and the Counter (CNT) instructions. We will be reviewing these instructions and looking at how to implement them in our ladder logic program. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-counter-instructions Previously in this Productivity 1000 Series PLC, we looked at the following: System Hardware http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-system-hardware System Hardware Video https://youtu.be/epzgojtd57U Installing the Software http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/gh5X7_EeCdg Establishing Communication http://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-establishing-communication Establishing Communication Video https://youtu.be/HWtN189JLgI
