Is this a new version or the same one from your previous thread?

"Eagerly" awaiting the zip file.

It is a new version.

You will never get a timer to start--you need T4:1.DN to start T4:0, but you can't start T4:1 until T4:0 is done...

Mr Robot--do you have a PLC to test run the program with? It will help quite a bit if you can watch the program run online with the PLC...

Click to expand...

Change in Rung 0, XIC T4:1.DN to XIO T4:1.DN. And assemble your edits

This is closer. Try changing the reference to T4:1 in your first rung from an XIC to an XIO.
