I've built a simple page with a button connected to a PLC Merker, that controls PLC Q0.1 Output. What i need is to disable the button after user press for some seconds it just to avoid that someone can suddenlyturn off again the turned on system. The user can be able to act on button again after. Thanks in advance. MR

You can make button1 invisible if button 2 is on. This prevents bad situations. You can also use a state machine inside the plc to accept the first press of the button to enter the 'on' state and ignore future presses of that button for some amount of time. Having the extra logic in the plc makes it more difficult because of the need to initialize the state machine, reset it properly, and handle fault situations. It is easy to set it up, but over time, more difficult to recall what is going on when changes are needed later. The invisible option is simple to understand. No button, no action allowed.
