Is there a way to limit the UP count on an UP DOWN COUNTER? I want to be able to count from 0 to 3 and not go past if the UP input is fed again. Any help is appreciated.

    bilt2spd,

    Give this a try. Copy the text below, save in notepad, start a new instance of Direct Soft 5. Click on file, import, program, find the notepad file you just saved, click on open. Direct Soft 5 will do the rest.

    PLC 05

    // Rung 1

    // Address 0

    have you tried counter example on 5-47 of the dl205 usermanual and have that bit after three reset the up down counter?
