I am new to programming plcs and this is by far the most helpful site I have found online. I hope that you guys can understand what I'm asking and help me out! Or at least put me in a smarter direction.
I'm curious if there is a way I can have a timer start when a sensor is activated, that is not dependent on the sensor itself being on.
I have a motor stop when it's overheat sensor activates, it then turns on a timer so that it doesn't start up again for XX minutes. My issue is if it cools down before the XX minutes are up it stops the timer, and everything starts again. Is there a way I can have the sensor activate, start the timer, and than not turn back on until both the timer and sensor have turned off, without the timer shutting off due to the sensor turning off?
