danyorkshire Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Im very new to Alpha PLCs and the like so this is probably very simple. I have written a very simple program involving counters, one to count turning a glue gun is on the other to count to turn it off. I havent yet had the chance to upload it yet but I was wondering when in use would the opperator of the machine be able to see to what the counters are displaying on the screan of the Alpha contoller. I have toggle switches to bypass the counters if the opperator needs to but I was wondering if he/she would then be able to reset the counters at a later time when needs be cheers, dan Quote
JRoss Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 You have to program it, but yes the counters can be displayed on the screen. There are a couple of function blocks for doing that. It's a little esoteric, but it gets the job done. Quote
