GX DEV QUESTION- SET A TIME STEP ON A COIL?

[housed 0]

Im just learing gx developer, and by the way Crossbows cable worked great for my FXo. My question is this, I need to open a few solenoids and I dont know how to designate a time step on the timer (T001...) in gx dev. I also need to set a delay, then open and then close. I have got the manuals but they are very vague and the help menu sucks. Thanks in advance. David

To use timer T001 you would use it as a coil --(T1 K20) The time is in 10ths of a second so K20 would = 2 seconds You then use a N/O or N/C called T1 on another rung to activate whatever you need

The preset for the timer must be coded when coding the timer. In the FX Series, the timer address determines the time base, so determines what units the timer is set in. The preset can be a number (K10 or something like that) or can point to a data register, and the number in the register becomes the preset. Check JY992D48301 which is the FX Programming manual. JY992D88101 is the newer FX programming manual, might be better English.
