 Processor Memory Organization
• The memory of PLC is organized by types
• Memory space can be divided into two
broad categories
 Program memory
Data memory

 Counters
• Counters are built in function blocks for PLC
programming
• Counters are common instructions used for counting
and giving the output accordingly

CU: Count up
CD: Count down
NO Contact R: Reset
PV: Preset value
CTUD: Count Up/down Counter
C48: Name of the counter
