Hi, everyone.
I mentioned a few months ago about purchasing a Panelview Component C600 and giving it a try. Well, we have no previous experience in PLCs, and it was fairly easy to get started. Getting connected was easy, IP address through an internet network. Choose from a list of pushbuttons, timers, counters... the usual, I guess.
But after getting started with the PLC program, I ran into an issue with a particular output that I can't make operate in the way I want. Any suggestions, besides finding another hobby, will be greatly appreciated.
Problem: I have a counter (prox switch) which, after "x" number of boxes, needs to sound a buzzer (output) for 1 second. I've tried the TON and TOF with no luck. I've used an XIO and XIC separately referenced to the timer before the output with no luck. I'm out of ideas... Do I need a different type of timer...?
Like I said, any help would be great.
thanks
