Zelio logic monitoring 3 pumps;

I have programmed a Zelio logic to monitor 3 inputs,
and coresponding 3 outputs for controling of 3 pumps.

How to pause/resume timers for pumps ?
Is this possible with zelio ?

What I need to achieve is to resume the timer where it stopped
when pump output turned off and timer did not count to the preset time (putting the pumps in manual mode and back to auto should
resume the timer where it stopped).
And also resume with the same pump nr. that stopped initially.

For now program act like this:
If only one pump is activated in auto mode - that pump turns on for 24h
If two pumps in auto mode - each pump works for 12h hours in sequence
If three pumps in auto mode - each pump works for 8h in sequence

But after every auto-manual-auto switching pump 1 is swithed on first every time.
I want to switch on the last pump that was working prior to putting in manual mode.
And for the remaining time left in the timer for that pump.

Br,
Denis

Current program;

Attached is the current program for the above.

This file is for Zelio Soft v5.0

I will be glad to help, but, I only have version 4.6 that I downloaded from the web. It refuses to open your version 5.0 file, sorry. Maybe you can save it as an earlier version or print/save as a .pdf file. and re-post the zip version.
 
Just a thought: you could do pulses with a Timer Li and use counter up instead of timers, then it would "remember" where it was last time it ran.

It will be kind of complex for such a simple software tool though.. ;)
 
Dirt was quicker on the draw. I had to reference the type of timer ID first.

Dirt, Im various though. What do you mean by "kind of complex for a simple process"?

That's not what I wrote..

Simple software tool. As I remember you only have one sheet for logics? (Haven't used it in a long time though) and using counters will require a few of them and the code is somewhat cramped up already.
 
My apologies. I shoulda used the quote option.

I inquired only because I have used these devices before and always wanting to learn more about them for future reference. The software is somewhat limiting but if it works, why not? I haven't played with the function blocks method with theses controllers and probably never will. It does look rather limited what one can do far using function blocks. More so than using ladder logic although there you have up to 120 lines. I did maxed out lines, and most of the functions on my last project, even after staggering functions just to make it all fit but it works.

No problem!

If it works it works ;)

Never used it in the ladder mode.. Might be better then.

Hi osmanmom,

can You elaborate little more about Your solution?
How to drive the outputs?
