Add Counter in Sorting Station PLC programming | WinSPS S7 | Ladder Logic | Simulation

⭐ A simple video (example-based approach) to show how to use Counters in PLC programming. The example is created from a previous video (Simple Raw Material Sorting Station) that I created for the simulation series. I have made some changes to the scene to add a counter and also changed the program to make it better than before. ⭐ For a better understanding of how the sorting station is working, you can watch the video in PLC Simulation Series (link 👇).

⭐ Counters can be used to count the material entered as shown in the video. ⭐ Types of counter : 🔷 Count up 🔷 Count down 🔷 Count up-down ⭐ Counter Address - C0,C1,C2,... (In our case, used to identify the counter by the plc refer to the plc for the address of timers and counters).

⭐ Set input - if it is true accumulator value is set to a preset value. ⭐ preset value - to give a limit or condition to turn on the counter output however in the case of siemens plc counter output turns on immediately so we need to add comparators if needed. ⭐ reset input to reset the counter - if it is true accumulator value becomes 0.

⭐ Counter Accumulator - Can be used to get the counter value at any instance of time and can also s it to register if needed.
