The idea is to keep the button pressed for 3 seconds not to switch unintentionally. If I do it in LogoSoft simulator or directly on Logo itself, it works OK. I would like to do it via Web server or Siemens Logo application as well, but the problem is, that Cursor button works only as momentary switch. I assigned it as "Switch" in simulation properties, but it doesn’t help me… In WEB server it goes up and down immediately, regardless of how long I keep it pressed. So, how can I do it in the way I planned?

You have to press the cursor key 2x within one second so that the pulse relay toggle. If you press only once, the counter is reset after one second. Attachment Untitled.PNG (152 Downloads)

Now I've done another test with the current LOGO! 8.2. The buttons work differently with the web server. Here, the signals of the virtual buttons of the web server remain active as long as they are held down with the mouse cursor. This means that you can also query minimum times for the duration of the keystroke. Since Siemens has never made this change, I've never tried it with the current LOGO before. I thank the user Frayer, that he has addressed this topic again. Thanks to Frayer ...
