MVP 2023 Flex727 Posted August 10, 2014 MVP 2023 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. Have I been missing something all this time? Experienced Visilogic programmers: surely you have this same need from time-to-time - how do you approach it?

Cara Bereck Levy Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Flex--I really empathize. The worst is when you know you know this, but still can't remember :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
