Voxdale Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Is it possible in Visilogic to make a counter based on the clock speed? An other possibility is using the standard timers, but we need the possibility tot start a process, and keep tracking (and showing) the time that the process has been running (without time limitation).

s.pratt Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Hello, Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum. Below is a file I created in VisiLogic to log the amount of time a process is running. Hope this helps. http://forum.unitronics.com/files/file/38-%7B%3F%7D/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxdale Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 This looks perfect for our project. Thank you very much. The sb3 bit is synchronised with the clock speed I suppose, so we don't have to be afraid of having a time fault after some time period?

Voxdale Posted July 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hello, I tested the counter and it works perfect. Just one remark : the SB3 should be used with a positive pulse coil or changed by SB13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s.pratt Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hello, Thank you for the feedback. Glad this application works for you. SB3 works with the RTC in the PLC. So there shouldn't be any faulting problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
