HI, I am trying to write a program to read the timer up to 2 seconds, then use that time to calculate the frequency per hour the machine is running. Could anybody point me in the correct direction to Read  %TMx.V & store that value.  I have done this with Omron, but do not use SoMachine Basic very much, so am a bit lost, I used 2 timers, one 20Ms to collect the number of the 2 second timer, set read reset. add the 20ms back on then do the calculation then multiply by 60, to got sheets per hour of a printing machine. It was suggested count how many over 36 seconds then multiply x100, but that is slow, mine was close enough & instant. Thank you.  

Thanks Crossbow, been there. Omron feild service engineer was kind enough to send it over, when I asked on myomron knowlagebase. looks like a great way to control temp using a PLC & thermocouple card.

Where would I find TC_2PID_Function_BLOCK? as described in the Temperature Regulation Solution, Quick Start Guide v1.02 Is there somewhere on the omron web site to find all up to date FB Libraries?
