Using an RTO

[Prayder]

I am using an RTO to log the amount of time a button has been pushed. I was wondering when I add it to the rung how do I set the preset? It wont let me click on it like a ctu will.

try off line and download

It will only let you select the preset after you have defined the new tag as a timer.

sorry but not sure what you mean when you say "defined the new tag as a timer". I created an RTO and chose the T4[36].ACC as the timer...

You have to be in edit mode to change the preset.

I already am..

if everyone posted the problem code, at the same time the question was asked the answer would be much quicker!!!

Are you using PLC5 or SLC500

Studio 5000 with ControlLogix 1756-L71 processor

Can you post the rung in question

lets drag it out, please post it so you can help yourself

This looks like a conversion from an SLC to a control/compact logix.

Why are you entering the .acc as your timer?

You only need to have T4[36] as the timer.
