Hello there,
My first "project" on my PLC course is programming a Trafficlight using a Micrologix 1000. I was able of elaborating one using 3 Timers (On-Delays), but have trouble looping the program so it starts over by itself.
Right now my system is something like this:
1. Start switch in ON position.
2. Activates TON 1 - T4:13
3. Timer (T4:13/TT) turns Green light for X seconds.
4. After X seconds TT goes off and DN activates a TON 2 - T4:14
5. Timer (T4:14/TT) turns Yellow light for X seconds.
6. After X seconds TT goes off and DN activates a TON 3 - T4:15
7. Timer (T4:15/TT) turns Red light for X seconds.
8. After X seconds TT goes off.
I tried several things but none have worked. I'm really just getting the hang of the programming so... I suppose it should be easy.
Thanks all!
