Timer/Counter

3 posts in this topic

Here's what I'm trying to do. when switch closes turn on output for 1 scan, starts a 10 minute time and counter, so that when time reaches 10 minute it will turn on output again for 1 scan and count another count, timer resets and counts another 10 minutes and turns output on again for 1 scan, and count another count when count gets to 5 this process is complete. I can do this in RSlogix500 with a micrologix 1100 but can't seem to get it working with the Micro800 and connected component workbench.

So what part is not working for you? And what is your current program?

I think I have this figured out. I need to use the "R_Trig" instruction. This is the same as a ONE-SHOT in RSLogix500 for the Micrologix series PLC. The "R_Trig" instruction will only be TRUE with a Rising Edge Input and only for the "Rising Edge" (Thus 1 scan). I'm new and do not totally understand all of the instructions that "Connected Component Workbench" has to offer yet. I will correct program today and post results, so everyone can benefit from my inexperience.
