Hey Tim, your vids have been helpful. I'm transitioning some Micro 1000's to 830's, and I know the RES instruction does not exist in CCW. In several of my Logix500 programs, I use the RES on the first rung to reset a counter that appears further down the routine. I'm having a difficult time visualizing the reset function in CCW when it is remote from the actual CTU instruction, as this was not something I did in RSL500. Thanks!
Hi Matthew. Simply put an OTE of a "ResetCounter" Bool tag up where you had your RES instruction then assign the "ResetCounter" tag into your CTU reset field. I probably should have covered that on this video. I'll hit it the next time I am videoing a Micro800 setup.
In Rung 1 Could you have just used the _IO_EM_DI_02 bit in the Examine Off instruction? Making Rung3 unnecessary? Why is it better to create the variable in rung3? Thank-you for your videos. I was trying to do a Reset on a timer, ( XIO I:0.0/0 RES T4:0 ) and looked around in Connected Components with no luck. This video came to the front of my search.
You are correct, you could have put input 2 in place of the reset bit. But the person who asked the question was replacing an RsLogix 500 program so I added rung 3 so we would have the same RES framework.
Dear sir, Thanks for your all videos. It means a lot to me. When I've usually used the Seimens TIA portal, we mainly program our code in Main OB (Organization Block 01), Functions, and Function Blocks. When the PLC powers up, Main OB begins to execute first. In CCW, if I write three programs, which runs first? Do they run parallel or do I have to set a sequence by programming? Again Thanks a lot for everything you taught us...
All of the programs will execute, one at a time, in the order you have them in on the left pane. You can drag the programs up and down to change the execution order
I'm looking to run a series of outputs off one timer to have 1 output of 7 to come on every 10 seconds for 1 second, then recommence. is there a way to trigger these by the elapsed time of one timer? P.S Love your vids, they have helped alot!
Hi Matt, have a look at the program that ships with our TRN-BAS-M820-AIO, it does something similar. You can find it at the link below. www.theautomationstore.com/sample-plc-programs/
Isnt the Reset instruction needed for an RTO, the key being retentive? A TON naturally resets when it's input drops off, the RTO needs a "thanks, I got it" aka the Reset.
No, the RTO has a built in reset bit. Drag an RTO into a ladder rung and on the left side you will see where you can map the RST bit for the reset. But I should make a video showing how you can make a user defined "reset" function block to do the same as the RES instruction is Studio 5000 and RsLogix 500.
@@TimWilborne No need, I just thought the original question, about the TON and the Reset, was more about having timer types confused, than actually resetting the TON. Anyways I like what you are doing here.
is it legal to assign the timer et output to reset itself? like you hit a button and it times out and resets the entire rung? so that itll run til a limit is hit? say a stack or somehting?
I'm not following you you would use the ET as a reset. Did you mean the Q bit? A XIO of the Q bit in front of the TON will cause the TON to "reset" each time it is done and start timing again.
@@TimWilborne yeah sorry that's exactly what i was asking. thanks. is it legal to draw the logic that way? since it would automatically reset regardless of the operators action
If you watch many of my videos then you know I don't believe in making rules. There's no legal or illegal, the question is does it work for your particular situation.
This playlist walks you through the building blocks of a cascading timer. It works on CCW as well, substitute the Q bit for the DN bit. Allen Bradley PLC Timers Training: ruclips.net/p/PLUi5cdVq3wTDqk_emjKb8zF8FuQOt1SBn
without selecting TON_1 with EN / ENO selected, I get a timer that never has TON_1.Q output. If you used a NC TON_1.Q contact on the line before your timer, that would then do the same job as your reset. I went through a nighmare afternoon without using the EN and ENO timer. Any idea why that would be?
If you put a Go Look for a 0 on the TON_1.Q bit before your timer then you would end up with a sample rate timer. Here is a video explaining that. ruclips.net/video/dJxactEun74/видео.html
@@TimWilborne I tried ANY_TO_BOOL to reset the TON_1.Q through a buffered bool exchange, to reset. BUT have to make IN false and then EN. How about just a RTO_1 timer that comes with a reset feature? I am not up to speed with any other than CCW for now, not Studio5000 that I am allowed to even download. 🤠
I'm not following while you're doing the Any To. That's simply converts one data type to another data type. If you put a one in the reset then it'll reset the timer.
@@TimWilborne My TON_1 times up to PV and ET shows BUT NO TON_1.Q output, until I monkey around looking at the variables, variables show [x] for TON_1.Q and when I return back to my simulator screen, Q is now on. Not a consistant output. Also I have it go into FAULT every so often. 😍

This live stream is a good one to watch for the basics.

Please do one for the TOF function. How do you set a TOF timer for x amount of time but also be able to turn off and reset the timer if required.

Sounds like you need to find that fault. Also cross-reference the q and see if something else is writing to it.
