EDIT: I think I just noticed I never cleared B3:4/11 after the timer completes. DOH, thats probably the cause, thanks anyways!
Hi guys, I've got a micrologix 1200 that I'm trying to get some timer instructions to work with..The 2 ladder rungs below are having some issues:
First I set B3:4/11 to "1", so it should go through and count the timer. If the done bit is not set, it RET's (which then goes to the end of the program to start a new cycle). Once the done bit is set, we latch an output solenoid and set the B3:4/13 toggle to go to the next rung (after a new cycle) and wait another 3 seconds and latch another solenoid.
Now when running, I see it get to setting B3:4/11 but it never finishes the first timer as far as I can tell. I never see B3:4/11 get cleared... So Is my syntax wrong here?
Thanks
