Long timer

[NoBoots 0]

I can't seem to program a TIML in cx-programmer He just won't accept it in to program. The help function in the program isn't verry usefull to me.. I just need a timer for 60 min but the TIM function stops at 999sec.. (TIM 241 #9999 is accepted) TIML should do the trick but a can't get it to accept (TIML 242 #60 001 doesn't seem to be correct) Anyone? Edited 13 Nov 2010 by NoBoots

Use a counter.

This instruction is not available in all PLC. In some PLC it is available but has to be mapped in expansion instructions. ( CPM2...) I never use that instruction, i dont like the idea of taking an instruction that need 5 Words to work when you could do the same with a 1 sec pulse and a simple counter or a increment or decrement instruction with only 1 word.
