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

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.
