Experiment-3

Working of different types of Counters.

Aim :- To perform the simulation of Different types of counters in PLC
Softwares Required :- Do-more Simulator
Theory :-
Count-Up :-
The CTU is a retentive output instruction that counts false-to-true rung transitions. Rung transitions can be
caused by events occurring in the program such as parts traveling past a detector or actuating a limit switch.
Count-Down :-
The CTD is a retentive output instruction that counts false-to-true rung transitions Rung transitions can be
caused by events occurring in the program such as parts traveling past a detector or actuating a limit switch.
High Speed Counter :-
The High-Speed Counter is a variation of the CTU counter. The HSC instruction is enabled when the rung
logic is true and disabled when the rung logic is false.
Reset :-
RES instruction to reset a timer or counter. When the RES instruction is enabled, it resets the retentive on -
delay timer, count up, or countdown instruction having the same address as the RES instruction.
Procedure :-
1. Open Do-more Designer application
2. Select File → New Project → Offline
3. Select Do-more Simulator, give name to file and click on Ok
4. Now Select the required components from the toolbar
5. Draw the ladder logic as given
6. Click on Do-more Sim and run the program
Simulation :-
Up Counter :-
Down Counter :-
Conclusion :- Hence simulation of Different types of counters in PLC using Do-more Designer.
