VT3000 - Add Process 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. The guide explains how to add a Count under a Process. This means the Count will not be active until the Process has been started. Before using this guide, a wired input must be pulled from the machine and wired into the I/O module.

2. The Contact wire from your machine must be wired into one of the Inputs on the I/O Module (Part 1). If you have not completed this step, CLICK HERE for instructions.
