When I access the v memory location for the current count of the ctrio, what format is that number? BCD? I am attempting to compare this value in the ladder to a constant.

    It should be in Binary format. So a compare would be a Hexadecimal number.

    I should clarify that if scaling is used, you can select the data type. But the default is Binary.
