trenders Posts: 6 Rating: (0)	I just bought a S7-1200 beginners package (my first siemens, only used ABB before) and (after finally getting TIA to work on Win7/64bit) I'm stuck on the simplest program: a blinking light in LAD with 2 timers With ABB you have a timer.done bit and an ONS (one-shot) input, this doesn't seem to apply to S7. Can someone please post a screenshot of the two (or maybe even one) networks needed to make this work? Thanks, Tim.
