Set, reset coil, or Toggle coil

What is the best way to set the lights to come on in my wood kiln during work hours, then off after work finishes?

Currently i have a set/reset coil enabled via the clock function under the Utils menu. Though the lights don't actually turn off. Perhaps a toggle coil would be better? Though im confused as to how toggle coils differ from set/reset coils.

Current ladder looks like this:

Lights

{Day of the Month}-----{Time of Day}------{\}------------{S}

{Day of the Month}------(Time of day}--------{R}

Perhaps it is the parameters themselves, ie Lights on at 0700-1700 Lights off 1700-0700

Any help would be great

linxchas has the correct answer for you, Count, but you expressed confusion about the behavior of the different kinds of coils in Visilogic. Here is a quick summary:

Direct coil:

A

-| |--( )-

When A is TRUE, the coil will be ON and when A is FALSE, the coil will be OFF

Set coil:

A

-| |--(S)-

When A is TRUE, the coil will be ON and when A is FALSE, the state of the coil will be unchanged (if it was ON, it will remain ON, if it was OFF, it will remain OFF).

Reset coil:

A

-| |--®-

When A is TRUE, the coil will be OFF and when A is FALSE, the state of the coil will be unchanged (if it was ON, it will remain ON, if it was OFF, it will remain OFF).

Toggle coil:

A

-|P|--(X)-

Each time A transitions to TRUE, the coil will change its state (if it was OFF, it will turn ON, if it was ON, it will turn OFF).
