C-More Micro supports not only BCD format - binary also. When you add new tag in Tag Name Database change format in Tag Data Type field to whatever you want.

I am not quite sure what you mean how to count parts. How is it dependent to BCD? The data type just determines to limit of parts counted:

BCD 16 - 9999

BCD 32 - 9999 9999

Unsigned 16 - 65 535

Unsigned 32 - 4 294 967 296

I guess that you know it already. Another matter is how do you count. Either by counter - AD PLC supports only BCD format for counter or INC/INCB instructions. First one is for BCD, second for binary(decimal) but is limited to only one word. If you need more counts: use math for double words:

BCD:

LDD V2000

ADDD K1

OUTD V2000

Decimal:

LDD V2000

ADDBD K1

OUTD V2000

I'm not understanding completely. What would be the best way to count parts? The machine I have will probably run millions of cycles - can this be counted easily and displayed?

I'm real green with the AD product; almost all my experience is Allen Bradley. For example, with a SLC500 I could just use an ADD instruction with a floating point register.

How would you do it with the DL06?

Increment.jpg shows the program for counting. Just change trigger logic accordingly to your needs.

To display value on C-More Micro:

1) Add Tag for the counter (look add.jpg)

2) Add object Numeric Display (dsp.jpg) make sure to increase number of digits

I hope this time I did not make any mistakes like with inc/dec with 8 button bazel :).
