Abstract: An electronic monitor for cyclic machines senses an electrical signal at the beginning or end of each cycle of operation of a machine, using a sensor such as a momentary-contact electrical switch or a proximity sensor, counts the time elapsed between such signals corresponding to a complete cycle of the machine and utilizes that time, via a microprocessor, and preset signals representative of various known or desired machine conditions, such as the number of pieces produced/completed during each machine cycle, the number of pieces desired to be produced, and the like, and based upon calculations that are pre-programmed into an internal microprocessor, generates a visual and/or audible display of selected desired information such as: actual elapsed machine running time since the start of the current cycle, the actual number of pieces produced since the start of a current operation, the number of pieces remaining to be produced during the current operation, the time required to produce the number of pieces not
