Conclusion

1. The PLC counters range from------------------------------------(C0 to C250/ C0 to C255).
2. Maximum value of reset in PLC counters is------------------------------------

Viva Questions

1. Develop a ladder diagram that will latch ON an output B 20 seconds after input A has been turned ON. After A is pushed, there will be a 10 second delay until A can have any effect again. After A has been pushed 3 times, B will be turned OFF.
2. List applications of PLC counters.
3. What the reset bit in PLC counter indicates?
4. State the function of accumulator with reference to PLC counter.
5. How Up Down counter works?
6. State range of presser in PLC counter.
