1. Examine how PLC counters aid in control.
2. Identify the different types of counters in the
Siemens s7200 PLC

Counters
used in PLCs serve the same function as mechanical
counters. Counters compare an accumulated value to a
preset value to control circuit functions. Counters can
be used to initial an operation when a count is reached
or to prevent an operation from occurring until a count
has been reached.
