Counter to control two objects?

[liquorfairy 0]

I created a program in which if i click a push button once, object one will move towards my desired position and i created a countered to tell it that if i push the pushbutton twice that the second object will move to that particular position but instead i'm getting both of my objects to move to my desired position rather than object two only. How can i fix this? RSLogix 5000 Report(s).pdf Edited 4 May 2015 by liquorfairy

You will have to zip and post your program. If it is small then a VERY CLEAR picture of the rungs may be ok.

I attached the ladder logic in a pdf format

You have a set of counters with a preset of one and a set of counters with a preset of two. The preset of 1 is carriage 1 and the preset of 2 is carriage 2? So you need to add a condition that if the button is pressed a second time within a certain time period, only carriage 2 starts, does that sound right?

Yes that sounds right, how can i do that?

Well.... The way you have the code set up makes this difficult. You're one-shotting the pushbutton which drives the counter, and if the counter is done latching in your movement, all in one rung. Unfortunately, this doesn't allow you to add a timer and bypass the logic. I would separate the pushbutton conditions from the actual movement latching action. You have a lot going on, so let me give a simple example of how to approach the problem. You'll have to expand on it.
