Thanks in advance G

You can use for your analog input an analog threshold trigger. Use for every needed delay time one threshold trigger. 2. Parametrize the triggers with you voltage levels. 3. Just you can connect with the triggers the timers. (but you must lock the triggers against each other). With the timers you can affect the time of the functions you need. Maybe someone have a better solution... Mausus

Gareth_M Posts: 9 Rating: (6)	Thanks for the quick reply Mausus, that idea sounds ok but i will need at least 5 triggers if i want to get the correct spread of timing.I just hoped that i could link the analog input against a timing paramater in a function block. ok never mind...............back to the drawing board. Thanks again Gareth

But you must have the newest LOGO! (ordering number ends with...BA05) and the newest LOGO! Soft Comfort V5. I have done a smal sample, see attachment. If you need very short times for the timers, you could get problems. But you can program and simulate in LOGO! Soft Comfort before downloading.
