Noob Siemens Question about time set outputs.

Big_Robo · Oct 19, 2018

Hi, I have tried everything but still having no luck. This will be a easy solution I just know it.

Ok I want to be able to set off an output when the time of day hits e.g. 7.30am and off again at 2.30pm

How the hell do I do this in ladder.

Thank you.

Sorry its in Tia Portal v15

Would help if you told us which Siemens software you are using.

In Step7, I believe you can fire off an OB at a set time... so as long as you don't have to change that you can run two OB's and just set/reset that output.

TIA Portal should allow the same... however, this isn't a fantastic way to do it.

This is probably what you want:
