Timers

[baldyspate 0]

Hi: I'm an industrial mech/elect. and (very)limited plc programmer working in the food industry. I'm gradually making improvements to a process that I inherited. I'm looking to see if I can, with timers and math in a Micrologix measure the effect a part of a process has on a subsequent part, and having the PLC do some relatively simple math (not PID, since this needs to be understandable in principal and all practicallity to a high turnover group) and change the timer settings of the first part while running. If this is overly novice for this forum I apologize. Would that I had the time to research. Thanks for YOUR time.

You can change timer presets by using a MOV instruction, just move your new preset value to the timers.pre. ex. T4:0.pre See attached Pic

Thankyou Tech... I hoped that it would be as simple.
