My project uses a MicroLogix 1400. First time I’ve used the 1400; used the 1500 for a few projects. I have 1.5 years’ experience programming.
My program has 21 timers, including dwell timers, pump duration run timers, etc.
I have a project that doesn't have a dedicated HMI (i.e. a PanelView).
A requirement for my project is to be able to change the timer timing from the LCD screen on the front of the MicroLogix 1400.
It does not appear I can access / change timers by going through “Startup Screen” ->Main Menu->Monitoring.
With Timers, can I use an INTEGER value so somehow the user changes the INTEGER value?
I see something in this thread that might help but it doesn’t seem exactly what I need. Thoughts?
