Of course you can. Just do a little forum search.

How about adding 'please'?
Pandiani gave you a tip you should follow: search the forum. The link to start searching is on top of the page, it spells 'Search'. If you don't know what to search for, this is also a tip: toggling a bit can also be called 'flip-flop'-ping a bit.

Beware: we don't do homework here for free. If you're willing to pay top-dollar, and I really mean TOP-dollar, we'll do just about anything for you. Helping, on the other hand, we do for free. But the main issue with helping is: you have to start by showing us what you have and where you're stuck.

Regards,

this has been asked so many times, a simple use of the forum tool -- Search --, using the term flip flop should find lots.

Well put, JVD.
Sure, I'll do your homework, but at service call rates.

Pandiani,

Do you really think these methods are some big secret?

She has probably already found the answer - someplace more friendly.

You think not doing homework is some type of moral accomplishment? I would like to see all of it done, and done quickly. There is too much competition in the PLC programming field already. The more that can't do their own programming, the fewer to take your job. Besides, I see that when you have some problem - a higher-level "homework" problem, you don't mind at all if someone gives you the solution -- without making you first grovel and beg.

Lancie1, not really, I don't think so. It took me about 1 min to find many implementations of the logic by searching the forum. It took him about 3 hours to repeat the question. This way I'm helping him to be more productive and time efficient.

P.S. I've done my last homework more than two years ago.

Many of the answers to Pandiani's questions are not in the books. Most are good questions. For instance the last question on integrator windup.

You are never done with home work if you want to get better. Actually you need to do a little just to keep from forgetting what you learned and falling behind.

I have just spent two hours doing 'homework' working on my hydraulic simulator.

Toggling a bit should be intuitively obvious.

Of all the wonderful and clever things PLC's can do, it amuses me that this 'toggle' question gets asked so often.
Not just here but out at work too - and often.

The people that ask me dont know the term 'toggle' or flip flop but they ask If I can make the same button turn something on and off.
When I say ok they seem to be in awe that this wonderful control technique can be achived by a bit of laptop fiddling.
