VT3000 - Add Wired Input (Count)

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 count on the module. Before using this guide, a wired input must be pulled from the machine and wired into the I/O module.
