WilliamH Posted August 20, 2012 Report Posted August 20, 2012 Hi guys, My first post so please be gentle.... The following line of code; Tri.Module[1]:X4 := I35_3_1 is for when a box covers the sensor 35.3.1 on a conveyor and saturates the line (line full). I understand the fact that is bringing on bit X4, which is for the Tri (French for sorter) Module 1. Without going into the DFB how can I delay this input coming ON for 5 seconds? I am new to Schneider PLC and also new to programming in structured text. If anyone does reply can you also give me some quick pointers on how to set up the timer I will need - unless there is another way?! Many, many thanks in advance. William. Quote
cHud Posted August 23, 2012 Report Posted August 23, 2012 I almost never use ST so i have never setup timers in st. But what i would do with my little knowledge of ST is to replace the I.35.xxx with a free %m. Then in ladder or fbd set a delay on timer with the i.35.xxx Then let the timers output set the %m that you used in the ST. This is untidy but what the hell Quote
