if where not able to find a o solution for your problem by yourself I give
you another
piece of code.


\unprotect

\def\floatcounter[#1]%
  {\bgroup
     \checkfloatracer{\v!float#1}%
     \nextnodelocation{\v!float#1}%
     \analyzenodelocation{\v!float#1}%
     \tagnodelocation{\v!float#1}%
   \egroup}

\protect

\starttext

\chapter{Bla}

\placefigure{}{\hrule width 6cm height 3cm}

\chapter{Bla}

\placefigure{}{\hrule width 6cm height 3cm}

\floatcounter[figure]

\placefigure{}{\hrule width 6cm height 3cm}

\chapter{Bla}

\placefigure{}{\hrule width 6cm height 3cm}

\placefigure{}{\hrule width 6cm height 3cm}

\floatcounter[figure]

\placefigure{}{\hrule width 6cm height 3cm}

\stoptext

Have fun with this example.
