alpha 2 Alpha 2 Counter that resets after 24 hours

4 posts in this topic

Sorry first up for what may seem like a simple post / question, however I am pulling my hair out with reading the programming manual and have had no help from Mitsubishi's PLC technical support team.

 

I have a Mitsubishi Alpha 2 (AL2-10MR-A) that I am using to count the starts of a jacking pump via input one.

The intention is to have output one operate when the jacking pump start count reaches 5 within a 24 hour period.

When the 24 hour period has expired, the count will reset to zero. The count will also reset to zero when a manual keypad key is pressed.

I have been able to figure out the counting and reset via the keypad no bother, however, including the 24 hour clock reset is proving difficult.

Has anyone had any experience with adding the 24 clock function at all, and can offer advice or examples?

This is being programmed directly via the keypad.

 

TIA

Download the software at least. its free so you can play with the simulation mode?
When you've got it working in simulation you can program it via the keypad although i would buy the cable and download.
In NL it's about 60 Euro's.

As for the 24 Hrs period I would use the sec puls and count the pulses
