PLC ladder logic counters are used in just about every PLC program. They will indicate how many times something has happened within the controller logic. Counters then can be used to trigger other outputs or items in the PLC. You can find counter applications in a variety of things every day. We will discuss three things you need to know when programming counters in the PLC. A sample program with a counter will be shown. This will have a 3D simulation with the PLC. Let’s get started.
