Hi,
I have an S7 IEC timer question (again):
The normal usage of the S7 IEC timers is fairly straightforward. But a collegue if mine need to do something that is not so normal - at least for S7 IEC timers.
He has to convert an existing AB PLC5 program to S7, and he has used AB timers with a lot of RES (reset) instructions to reset them.
Is it possible to get a similar RESET functionality for an S7 IEC timer ?
I was thinking about clearing the .STATE, .STIME, and .ATIME stat variables. Will that do the trick ?
