Timers in function blocks

[Yevgeny]

Can anybody help me with such a problem? Can I use timers in my functions blocks in GX IEC developer project? It's all clear how to work with timers in the main programm... but I want to move some operation to function blocks!!! In Simatic Step7 we define TIMER variable in the IN section of FB header. Then we put one of the system timers to that FB Input. And everything works fine! Tell me please what I'm doing wrong???

Of coarse you can use timers. Just don't use the Timer_M because then you have to define a timer. Use the FB timers. What exacly is going wrong? Edited February 14, 2008 by Gambit
