Hi, can any body help to solve a problem?

how can i use the value "of a counter" as set point of another one!

I mean if C1 counts '3' how this '3' will be set automatically as the set point of C2!

Thanks of help anyway
 
This assumes that by the 'value' of the counter, you mean the accumulated value. The answer will depend on the brand and model of PLC you're using. When you program the counter function, are you restricted to entering a constant as the preset value or can you enter an address like C1.ACC? If you are limited to a constant, you will need to add another rung with a MOVE or COPY instruction:

______
| MOVE |
C1.ACC| |C2.PRE
|______|

*

Let us know which PLC you're using and somebody will be able to give you a better answer.
