Newbie to PLC programming. I 've got a Time Based Drum Instruction set up and it is working as designed. Two things I would like to change, not necessarily related to the Drum, but here goes. First I would like to use a momentary switch for X001 to start the process. Secondly, rather than having to push a reset switch. I would like the process to reset itself when it is finished, so it is ready for the next cycle. Thanks.

For automatic reset place a contact of C1 (complete) in parallel with the contact ox X002.

Thank your sir, just what I was looking for!
Any suggestions on using a momentary start switch as opposed to a push on/push off switch?

Attached is a typical 'toggle ' code. It creates a toggle in C3 using C2 as a one-shot bit.
Use C3 in place of the X001 enable input.
