Red Lion Modular Controller count value

Bunger · Feb 5, 2015

Could someone take a quick look at this simple program and tell me why my counter is not working.
Basically I want input 1 to advance the counter by 1 on every input.
The data logger confirms that input 1 is working but the count stays at zero.

I have not used the Logic Editor but a quick guess would be you have a preset of 0 and sometimes preset counters will stop counting when they reach preset
try entering a value for preset and see if that works

To start with, your logic editor shows that you're using inputs 2 and 5, instead of 1 and 2 as your variables are assigned.

edit: nevermind. I think you need to initialize the module conifuration to "include in download" and "Run" the logic engine.

Preset zero means that it will count to 65535 then return to zero. Do not want a preset. Confirmed that with RL yesterday.
I had already corrected my logic editor. Input 1 is the input to the counter, Input 5 is the reset on the editor only. There is no actual reset. Input 2 is unrelated to the counter.

That did it, Thanks
Red Lion has NO documentation on configuring or using the Logic Editor.

Good deal. Yep, I couldn't find any documentation either....they need to hire Prosoft's technical writers for a while.
