VT3000 - Add a Continuous 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 Continuous Count. This means that the system will record a count every time the input is pulsed - it will never turn off.

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

Step 5. Count Properties - there are 2 different ways to setup the count each is shown below: Periodic Update As Occurs Update NOTE: Periodic will update the count in the system from the amount of seconds entered. As Occurs will update the count in system whenever a count happens. If you have a high count/cycle rate (every 5 to 20 seconds) you would want to use the Periodic setup. Property Definitions Sampler Name - enter Count. Mode - Continuous Sampler will be the only option available. Type - select Count. Placeholder is used for custom configurations. TRIGGER - Periodic - updates the VersaCall software of the count every X (entered in Period field) seconds. TRIGGER - Period - enter the number of seconds to wait until the count is updated in the VersaCall software - enter 60 as this should be the minimum. TRIGGER - Don't Send Zeros - selecting this will instruct the module to NOT send a zero if there has been not count in the Period time frame. TRIGGER - Don't Record Zeros - this option is used for custom configurations. Contact VersaCall Support for assistance with this option. TRIGGER - As Occurs - updates the VersaCall software of the count every time one is made on the module.
