Finding Spare Timers? Simatic S7

[Blondemoment]

Hi All, I was wondering how to find spare timers in S7. The programme is already there, but I would like to add a little additional line. Is there a way I can view all the used timers, and spare ones? I do remember seeing someone do it once...or was I dreaming ;) Thanks in advance for any reply.

You can use the Reference Data for that. Build the reference data and open it and look at the cross reference view. Then you can filter by timer and see which ones are being used.

If its STEP 7 manager, then there is the assignment option in the reference area. If you have the cross reference open, then the options on the status bar are from left to right, open-print-xref-assignment-structure-unused symbols-addresses without symbols. Select assignment and it will show you all directly programmed Inputs, Outputs, Marker Flags, Timers and Counters. Obviously it will not show indirectly addressed if there are any.
