MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted August 10, 2014 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I've been working with Unitronics PLCs for nearly 5 years and one thing has always frustrated me - all 3 timers decrement. When I want to have a simple display of elapsed time (e.g. the time a valve has been open or a pump has been running), there is no simple way that I can see to display that information without a lot of convoluted ladder logic.
