And I'm assuming if all i did is move a lead to a different output all I would need to change is the output location? The timers and everything would stay the same? Basically Replace all O:0/3 with O:2/03 and I should be good

Great thanks

plc.pdfHI, I have barely any experience programming plc's my usual experience is just taking new programs and updating are current plc's. I have attached a pdf of a program that I must modify. I was hoping for some help The Program right now uses outputs 0:0/3 and 0:0/4 to control a solenoid. The short story is a tech screwed up and these 2 outputs are now bad. I have plenty of new out puts so I moved these leads to 0:2/02 and 0:2/03 . Thanks for any help I am reading some tutorials now to help

Thanks so much, It makes so much sense now that I see it working. Thanks again I'm going to incorporate a couple photo eyes into the mix now for some practice.

Could I please have a little more guidance? I'm trying to figure out how to properly stop the motor from the .DN bit Thanks MOTOR CONTROL.RSS

I just recently started working with PLC's. I have no prior experience so please pardon the lack of knowledge. I am basically reading a book and starting to just go through it while practicing on my Micrologix 1100 with rslogix 500. My question is I have been using photoeye sensors to start a timer that when the time is met will shut off a motor through a relay.Basically a safety device simulating a box being jammed in a conveyor. Anyway as I was playing with the timers and latches I realized I dont know what function I would use to say start a motor for 5 seconds and than turn off? I know I may be missing something very simple but basically I know how to start a timer with an input(photoeye) but I dont know if the TON timer would be what I would use to just start a motor and than turn it off? If any one could point me in the right direction it would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance

First timer.RSSHI I just started writing my very first PLC program and I really just wanted some input. I am using a AB micrologix 1100 with the Rslogix 500 software. I used to work with C+ programming a little and I am starting to work with plc's. I wrote a simple program that if you hold a switch for 8 seconds a light will pop on. If you hit the other switch the light goes out. If the second switch is on the timer will not start. I'm asking for help because I'm sure I didn't do it perfect and I wanted to see what some more experienced users would do differently so I can improve my short little learning program.Thanks for any pointers
