I'm using direct soft 5 and i want to use an encoder to measure length. My problem is i can't seem to understand how to use the V memory/registers

That's a very open question. Do you have experience with any other PLCs? The 'V' memory is generally not assigned by type except for counter and timer accumulators and various system locations. The manual for the specific CPU details these.

I've used Allen-Bradley as well but just for basic plc programming nothing to elaborate. It's just that what i have to do this time requires the use of an encoder and HMI.

I have a direct logic 6 plc and a C-more hmi but i'm having a hard time figuring out how to use the V memory

Thanks b_carlton that info was a big help.

I'm trying to setup a high speed counter using a CTRIO module and a rotary encoder for measuring length

I can sure use some help with that

The CTRIO module has its own manual. Download and read it. It has a lot of examples. When Directsoft is installed it has the option for loading example programs also. I believe there arre some CTRIO examples in there.
