Simple Timer Done.....

I'm using a simple timer, with the "Done" command I call a DO-1.2.13 output. Not that this number matters.

On the next rung I call this output DO-1.2.13 to "Reset another coil that was set earlier.

Can I do this reset directly from the timer without using a DO?

    You do need to learn that. A done bit for timers is a fundamental part of all PLC software. If you don't understand this basic concept, there's not much you're going to be able to effectively do with a PLC. You first need to look at the help files as they explain the instructions. In this case Topic: P129.

  • Watching some videos and there is something called a Done Bit and it's in the Tag Database. I need to learn this, I still don't understand it.

  • Ok I figured it out, It's easy.

    I add a Tag in the Tag Database I called it Timer 1A, then in the timer "Done" I put the Tag Timer 1A and it works. Thanks....
