Hi,

Can someone help me in programming motor switching part?
Below are what I trying to do
1. After pressing the Auto button, motor A start running.
2. Once motor A stop whether is because of alarm or manual stop it, the next time of the auto run, motor B will start running.
3. If motor B stop, then next time of auto run will be motor A again and so on
 
That's called an "alternator" circuit. You can buy an alternating relay, or if this is a PLC code issue, there are plenty of examples of how to accomplish it, but you would need to indicate what kind of PLC you have.
 
If you do a quick search of the forum for "flip flop" you will get a number of results that will guide you in the right direction.


Bubba.
