A PSM and a TIM have an I/O module that can accept a wire input from a machine. This input can be set to trigger a count on the module. Below is a guide on how to setup a count for an input. Before you proceed you must first have the output from your machine wired for connection to the I/O module. For more information see the how to guide on wiring inputs.

a. Sampler ID – this is assigned by the VT3000 system.

i. Periodic – creates a field titled Period (s).
|'''2.''' A Coordinator must be setup, powered and communicating with the VT3000 Core Software.
1. Period (s) – enter the number of seconds to elapse before the count is updated.
|-
ii. As Occurs – the count will update when a count occurs. There will be no Period (s) field.
|'''3.'''  Switch Contact, TIM or PSM - the device must be powered and communicating with the system.
f. Input – click on the down arrow and select the input that you setup the count on.
|-
g. Don’t Send Zeros – this box is only available for Periodic. When the update happens the module will not send zero as the count only a whole number. This option will help keep the Events database smaller and make reports run faster.
|'''4.'''  Contact Wire from your machine must be wired into one of the Inputs on the I/O (Part 1).
h. Color – choose the color of the field when shown on the touch screen (Red, Yellow or Green).

Overview
The PSM and TIM have an I/O module that can accept a wired input from a machine. This input can be setup as a count. This guide explains how to setup the Discrete Input on the configuration. Once the Input has been setup you can use it as either a Continuous or Process Count. Before using this guide, a wired input must be pulled from the machine and wired into one of the Inputs on the I/O module.


Requirements
See Requirements Here
1. The VT3000 Core Software installed and running on your system.
2. A Coordinator must be setup, powered and communicating with the VT3000 Core Software.
3. Switch Contact, TIM or PSM - the device must be powered and communicating with the system.
4. Contact Wire from your machine must be wired into one of the Inputs on the I/O (Part 1).
