Thanks that was a great help

Okay I spent all afternoon trying to figure out what is probably a very simple task and came up up dry. I have 4 rungs each with an XIC followed by a debounce timer as these will be float switches. now to where I am stumped. I want to do two things with this, First I want connect each of the timers to one output for a General tank water lvl alarm lamp. The other thing a want to accomplish is to put each of the four rungs onto seperate outputs to drive an HMI showing which tank is alarming. I have tried to bring a vertical run after the timers to nest all of the timers and cannot figure out if that is possible. I was wondering if it would be possible and or easier to add a new rung using the outputs of the existing tanks and debounce timers as logic to a new output to drive the general tank alarm. Any advise would be appreciated. Theo Inline PLC.RSS

Greetings I am new here and have some experiencs with old GE fanucs and a Couple lines of the allen bradley family as well as some of the cheap micro controllers. I just got slated to head up a project where I work, a small plastic extrusion company to design and install a scada system for 4 water tank level and temperatures and 3 gearbox temperatures 3 points each gear box. I have selected j type termocouples and will be using the micrologix 1400 I have all of the plc parts on order. My main first question is if I start writing the program in the rsmicro starter can I open it in micro logix deveolper and change the configuration to the 1400? Thanks In Advance
