I would like to know if there is a way to reset the counter within the program. I have attached the program that I wrote. I am using a Click PLC.

Make either contact (X0005 or C5) on the RESET leg of the counter TRUE.

X0005 is a physical input. While the program is running in the Click apply the appropriate signal to its input.
C5 is an internal bit. Create a DataView and add C5 to it. Enable 'Edit ' then change the state to ON.
Did you create your program from nothing, copy from another type PLC, copy from a wired ladder logic?

I noticed that the program never sets the C1 (VIRTUAL START) bit. As Bernie mentioned, the C addresses are single-bit internal "contacts ". They 're controlled by the program itself, rather than by external, physical inputs like the X addresses. So if you want to turn a C bit on or off, you have to do it in one of your program rungs.
