VT3000 - Add Process Count

---

---

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.

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. 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). 5. The Input for the contact must be setup in the configuration for the device (Part 2).
