Okay...so I got this PLC (PLR) and am having "issues". So far it is really nice...but reailze it is only my second unit ever. The first unit was an Idec Micro 3 I purchased cheap off of Ebay for fun and excitement. I can do what I want with the Micro 3...but can't get the darn thing to work right with the Teco SG2 (Factorymation).
Here is my issue. When using a timer the counter is non-retentive. I am running a test where if I need to shut down power the test will start back in the same place. No big deal...just issue a counter that runs off the timer...and then do a counter comparison. Well the counter comparison is where I am having trouble. I can get the number to increase on the counter, I can get the counter comparison to look like it wants to work...but it doesn't.
Is there anyone out there that has used one of these and has gotten the counter to work correctly?
Thanks.
