Good afternoon,
I have been programing more in my spare time trying to get back in the swing of things since I've really just been doing a lot of maintaining, and have recently acquired more responsibilities. I have a program in RS logix 500 which I will attach that does almost everything I want it to do on my test bench, with the switches and lights I have hooked up. Its supposed to emulate a garage door. Push button door goes up, light blinks until door is all the way up (6 sec). Push down, light blinks until door is all the way down etc. I also have a trip beam that will send the door back up if it is interrupted on the way down. My problem is trying to set the acc. value of the timer correctly against the value of the down timer so that when the trip beam is triggered the timing is correct. I have a mov instruction sending the file to an N: file and have tried a few different times but cant seem to get it straightened out. I'm trying to emulate having everything in "Time" and not waiting 6 seconds for the door to go back up if it's only been going down for 3 seconds etc.
Any help getting me pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Edit: I've attatched files before, but now it won't let me. When I open the window it won't let me "browse". It blinks but nothing opens when I click it. Anyone have any ideas?
