Hello i am really new to this..
ok here is my problem. I want to count product going into a machine
with the software counters in rslogix and display realtime results at a
panelmate pro 1100 lt interface. Also a button on the interface that
resets the count and stores the previous count in another area of the
panelmate screen. I have been successfull at getting the real time count
to the screen but when i reset the count i cant get the original values to
stay. I need some ladder help basicly. If someone could send me or post
an example ladder of this it would be great. Right now im pretty much stuck.

will this counter count more than 32000? It needs to count as high as
130,000.

The PRE and the ACC are INT (integer)
32767 is the max for this type.
You could roll the output of this counter when it gets to, let's say 1000, into another counter.
This could then be displayed on the panelmate a variety of ways.
I don't have a great deal of experince with Panelmates.
But with the caliber of people here, I bet you will get the answer you need.

I assume the HMI can display floating point, in which case the following should do what you want. You may want to add some debounce to the reset if you have problems.
