Siemens S7-1200 "Timer Timing" help

Hello All!

I am currently working on a project and I have hit a snag. I am programming an s7-1200 and trying to use the TON timer to run a timer and latch a different run on while the timer is timing. Similar to using an Allen-Bradleys PLC TON that have the .TT bit I just don't seem to see be able to grasp how to latch the rung. If I use the .Q bit with a |\| the rung will always be on but I also tried using a not equal command (shown in attached screen caps) and this was not working either. I am not sure I am using the not equal command properly however. Please see the attached screen caps If I am not making sense.

Best Regards to everyone,

Elliott (the confused) Junior Programmer

Hi elliot.

Try using a | |.in and a |/|.q together.
This will tell you tgat the timer is enabled, but not done yet. (Timer timing)
Sorry about the probably poor formatting. Im using my phone.
Cheers.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for the reply. I believe this should work, I will be testing it early this morning and I will update on the situation!,

Hey

Try using this...




Note: you can see a simulation only with plc 300 in tia portal.

Freires,

A "Timer Timing" function would be your Segmento 3, BUT with M0.0 and a NOT M0.1 before Salida 1, like this:

 

Segmento 3:

 

|   M0.0      M0.1         Salida 1   |

|----| |-------|/|------------( )-----|

|                                     |

oh yes, u right

I just wanted to thank everyone for their help I got it working Thanks to all of you! I really appreciate your assistance in this problem!
