Greetings,
So I’m taking a mostly self-taught PLC programming class and I have been presented with a programming activity that includes creating a 24-hour clock that records the time (i.e., hours, minutes, seconds) of when a pushbutton is pressed (signaling an emergency condition has occurred). The program must be able to record up to three interruptions during a 24-hour period. The activity includes the use of a timer, counter and a move instructions to create a 24-hour clock that can record up to three interruptions.
I have created simple programs using timers and counters and have studied up on the MOV instruction set, but I must say this task is a bit of a jump from my current understanding. I’m using RSlogix Micro Starter Lite with a Micrologix 1000 Processor (Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series PLC trainer). Any help would be appreciated especially some programming examples, of which I learn the best from.
Thanks
