Overview
|
Once you have a contact wired to an input on the IO and you have configured the Input as a Count, you will need to set up the Monitoring Point in the device configuration. This guide explains how to setup a Linked Count as a subordinate of a Process. This means that the count will be activated/enabled when the Process is started. When the Process is ended the count will be deactivated/disabled. Counts will only be recorded when the Process is activated.
