Does anyone have any information on the Time/Event Driven Drum function of the TI PLC's.
I am trying to modify some Softshop code, but I do not know the ins&outs of the drum function.
Is there any literature available to explain the function.
Thanks, Ed.

I'd suggest trying the Siemens web-site here
The Drum Timer is pretty easy to understand once you realise how it's layed out on the screen.

Down load the 505 programming reference, every instruction is covered in detail.
