I need some help with GE versamax PROGRAMMING

[kboggs]

I that have a simple program and GE will not give too much info. all I need is to have a pushbutton open a door and start a timer and drop out after 6 sec. the program that I have wrote has some flaws and I would like to have someone look at this and help me correct the flaws. I will only send 2 rungs of the 64 and thanks to
everyone

Trouble With Ge Versamax

You're trying to do too much in one rung of logic. Your first rung will not pass validation because the VersaMax does not let you branch around the timer as you've tried to do.

Ge Heeeeeelp

can you show me how to do that. this is the first time that I've used GE

 

[Steve Bailey]

This sounds like an assignment for the lab portion of a class in PLC programming.

all I need is to have a pushbutton open a door and start a timer and drop out after 6 sec

That describes the way the VersaMax Off-delay timer works.

thank you for the help. I used what you said and fixed the logic

Steve I tried to end the program but I do not know how to type in END I guess. it acks funny

 

[Steve Bailey]

You don't need to enter the END statement. It's built-in.

There is an END statement that you can program, but it is intended for debugging purposes. You insert can it into a program to see if your logic works correctly up to that rung in the program. If it works, you move the END statement to allow more rungs to be executed and try agin. Lather, rinse, repeat...
