Hey guys! Need your help.. I'll be having a project wherein I'll be using ZEN-10C1DR-D-V2.. I've tried a circuit using internal relays and timers before. But by this time, i'll be using a counter but I'm having dificulty constructing the circuit.. I'm doing a manual programming (directly from the unit). Can you give me some tip about counter circuit on the said PLC? Thanks..
 
BJM,
What circuit do you need a tip for? Here is the description of the Counter from the ZEN Operation Manual. remember, a Counter counts 1 for each time that your rung input goes ON then OFF. The counter will hold its count until you Reset it to 0 using the RESET instruction.
3-7 Using Counters (C)


Up to 16 counters can be used in incremental or decremental mode. The
present value for counters and the status of counter bits (ON/OFF) are
held even when the operating mode is changed or there is a power interruption.

Operation

Counter bits turn ON when the count value (present value) exceeds the
setting (present value set value). The count returns to 0 and the bits
turns OFF when the reset input turns ON. Count inputs are not accepted
while the reset input is ON.

3-7-1 Settings in the Ladder Program Edit Screen

Outputs for the counter input, counter direction, and counter reset are
written in the Ladder Program Edit Screen. Counter input conditions can
also be written. Settings are made in the Parameter Settings Screen.

A Operating parameters can be monitored and settings changed.
D Operating parameters cannot be monitored nor settings changed.
Trigger input status
(: OFF/: ON)
Reset input status
(: OFF/: ON)

Note Only C0 to C7 (8 points) are supported by pre-V1 CPU Units.

3-7-2 Settings in the Parameter Settings Screen

Counter address C0 to Cf (16 points)
Counter input C (CNT) Increments (or decrements) each time the
count input turns ON.
Counter direction
specification
input
D (DIR) Switches between incremental and decremental
counting.
OFF: Incremental
ON: Decremental
Reset input R (RES) When the reset input turns ON, the present
value returns to 0 and the counter bit turns
OFF. Count inputs are not accepted while the
reset input is ON.
Count input Turns ON when the counter has counted out (PV SV)
Set value 0001 to 9999 (4 decimal digits) times

how can I reset the counter from ZEn PLC..? I'm doing a manual programming. I don't have a software and a manual to guide me. Pls help. thanks!
 
Each time Input 0 goes ON, Counter C0 counts up (from 0 to 1, and so on). Each time Input 1 goes on, Counter C0 gets reset to 0.
 
| Input 0 Up Counter 0 |
|----||--------------------( CC0 )-----|
| |
| Input 1 Counter Reset |
|----||--------------------( RC0 )-----|

BJM,

You should download the ZEN Operation Manual. If you can't find it, send me your address and I will E-mail it to you.
 
thanks a lot Lancie!! You're such a big help.. you've got a perfect answer to my inquiry.. Now I can start with my project.. By the way you can send the manual to my email: [email protected]

Thanks again and Godbless.
