Hi I would like to know if you guys can help me with something, i have programed a PLC before but never with click software, and i'm a little bit confused, i'm currently writing this program, that must do this: start, close a gripper, 2 seconds later close another gripper, then 4 seconds later close a cutter, then open the cutter, then open the gripper 1 and then open the gripper 2, after that, it has to repeat those instructions ten times, i have everything done I did it with the drum instruction, the only thing I cant do its to turn off the cicle. Thanks in advance Diana

Zip and post the Click program. But otherwise use the 'drum complete ' bit to increment a counter. Use the 'drum complete ' bit in series with a NC of the counter 'done ' bit to reset the drum. (It won't reset when the count is complete.)

Thank you so much Bernie, i'm almost done with the program, the only issue that i have now it's that I need to stop the cycle with the off delay timer and that i have put but i don't know which output could i use to achieve this.
The PLC is C0-00DR-D

In this program it looks like, after starting (by triggering C1), the drum runs 4 times then stops for 20 seconds because Y13 is set. If, while the drum was running through its 4 cycles (or during the 20 seconds set by T3), you DID NOT turn off C1 then 4 more cycles will start. The drum will continue to cycle in groups of 4 (with 20 second pauses) until C1 is turned off.
1. Do you want to run the drum cycle 4 times or 10 times as you said in your first post?
2. Are you content with having to turn off C1 before the first 4 cycles are complete or do you want something else?
