This goes way back! Give this a try.
Hope this will help. Note that order of rungs is important.

The key lies in an understanding of the operation of a PLC.
First, a PLC continuously executes its program, evaluating each rung of ladder logic in sequence.
Second, it updates the state of the input signals before executing the program.
You need two rungs. The first rung uses the signal from the pushbutton to turn on an output, but only if the signal from the pushbutton was off during the last scan. The second rung is used to remember the state of the signal from the pushbutton for use during the next execution of the program.
See if you can convert that verbal description into ladder logic.

If the pushbutton is depressed by the operator for a second...the plc may have run through the sequence several hundred times before the operator releases the button. The trick here is to only let the ligth (output) blink for a fraction of a second...reproducing the speed of a single scan.
I'm having difficulty writting this code with only using the following statements: Normally open, Normally closed and a output or coil.
I'm trying to do this without the use of a one shot relay.

Make sure to read all the replies. Post #2 has your answer.

You were already given the correct answer to your homework.
The only problem with this is that you'll never see your light turn on -- it'll only be on for 1 scan (typically less than 10ms) before it turns back off. Fortunately for us, this is not a practical application of a one-shot.

Hi All
Thanks for your input.
I realized afterwards that the second posting showed the answer afterall. I'm just new to programming and still learning the ropes.
We would use an OSR in a rung to send a signal "just" as something has happened in a process, it would count the one-time event or condition only and not continue adding, subtracting or counting right?

You said that the second post showed the answer.
Can you explain how/why that code works (other than someone said it does)?

Start with the pushbutton off. What is the status of the two outputs (A and B)? Now turn the PB signal on. What is the status of the A and B outputs at the conclusion of the first scan after PB goes on?. The status of A and B at the beginning of scan 2 is the same as at the end of scan 1. What is the status of A nad B at the end of scan 2?, scan 3, scan 4, etc.

I'm easily confused
gtsuport, you posted post #2. Am I to assume you don't know how your own solution works or are you testing the studio audience?

What OZEE said!!
Sorry for the confusion. bprieur said that the second post was the answer. A couple of others said that also.
I just wanted to make sure bprieur understands the circuit.
Hope everyone is having a great day!
