Hey guys.
How do i make a simpel cycle counter, that can count to minimum 500000 cycles. SLC5

Use two counter instructions. Set the preset on the first (the "ones" counter) to 1000, and trigger a count of the second (the "thousands" counter) using the .dn bit from the first, then reset the first counter.

Or use an "ADD" instruction ( Floating Point Destination) instead of a counter.

If you use the ADD instruction to build your counter, make sure that you use a one-shot after the trigger logic or you could get too many counts.

XIC I:1/0 OSR B3/0 ADD F8:0 1.0 F8:0
GEQ F8:0 50000.0 OTE B3/1

Good for counting to 16,777,215. After that you run into resolution issues when trying to count by 1 with a floating point number.
