Hi   New here.  Trying to create a cumulative timer with zelio soft 2 for a SR2B201BD So, whenever the plc receives a pulse (coming from a coin acceptor) it adds x amount of time, whenever receives a second pulse, adds x amount of time to the time left on the timer. This is a timer for a self serve car wash. Used to work with Ecostruxture Machine and a TM221, but do to a stock break on the supplier and time sensitive project was forced to change to a sr2.  Can't seem to make the transformation from my program on ecostruxtur to the zelio. Any help? Thank you

Hello, I used a Schneider Electric SR3B261B PLC to create a trivia machine (as I call it).  Basically 20 buttons that let contestants ring in to trivia.  There is a display that shows the number of the person who rang in.  It works pretty well unless people press the buttons at exactly the same time.  Then it shows 2 results at the same time.  Usually resulting in a display of 18 when really it was 12 and 14 that rang in, for example. The PLC has options for: "Adjustment of the basic cycle time of the module."   and "Type of Hardware Input Filtering." Which I assume would make the PLC operate faster and avoid two inputs triggering at the same time.  If I change the setting and update the changes do not keep.  I appear unable to change it past 20 x2 ms  and slow (3ms). Is that a correct assumption that changing this would fix it? Why can I not change this?  Is it because I have so many inputs (14 or so) and Outputs (16 or so)? or because my program uses nearly all 240 lines of ladder logic allowed? What can I do to fix this?   Emerald
