IMPORTANT

In RSLogix 5000 software, versions 18.02.00 and later, output tag
information is sent to the counter module only at the RPI rate defined
during configuration. For optimal performance, use an Immediate
Output (IOT) instruction.

For example, the rung shown below contains an IOT instruction for a
counter module in slot 3. Add a similar rung to your last routine within
the Main Task to mimic normal output tag processing.
