Hi folks,
I'll cut right to the chase. This is what I want to do...
Green pushbutton is pressed, an output comes on for 2 secs, turns off for 2 secs, turns back on for 2 secs, and repeats this cycle indefinitely until a specific condition is met (another input).
The catch is that I am using a CLICK PLC from Automation Direct. And to my absolute annoyance, their timers in this software are practically useless for more complex applications. There are no specific DN, TT, EN, bits. You have two options: TON TOFF. However, there are two types of TONs - One you can reset the current value with an additional bit, the other you cannot reset with an additional bit (called "retained" and "non-retained")
You can understand how CLICK's timers work from this video:

[PS. You can DL the software for free from AD's website]
Thanks in advance!
