I've used the built-in positioning function on the Simatic S7 CPU314IFM and been very frustated when counter loses or add pulses sporadicly. When I contacted Siemens they only replyed something like this: read the f*****g manual! (But when I searched there own site I found a very interesting page in the FAQ
(http://www4.ad.siemens.de/csinfo/li...-1-77-80-&aktprim=0&nodeID0=4000155&siteid=cs)

that confirmed what I thought the hole time, the built-in function have a flaw in the logic that corrupt the counting process sometimes.
