GX works 2 - Special Relay (SM_ _ _) for a 0.5sec Pulse

5 posts in this topic

All,

I remember using a special relay in GX developer many moons ago for a 0.5sec pulse where I copied the SM4xx number from earlier in the program. I forgot the number and can't recall the plc program... so does anyone know if off hand. Using the manual, I've imported the comments but can't see one for 0.5sec; even though I'm confident it's there!

Thanks in advance

You probably used SM415 with a value of 500 in SD415

I cannot remember that there was a 0.5sec clock in any Mitsubishi PLC. But if you need a pulse every 0.5sec, you can use PLS/PLF on the 1sec clock (which alternates 0.5sec ON/OFF). Here's something straight from my head (not correctly code-formatted, but you'll understand the functionality):

SM412 -> PLS M0
SM412 -> PLF M1
M0 OR M1 -> M2

This will make M2 pulsate every 0.5sec.

Hmmmm, thanks for the replies (as always) but I'm sure there was another way to both suggestions and will try and dig it out haha. Both make perfect sense though.
