How to pause a step ??? if i would like to represent the timer which is active on hmi. For example when will be on timer 4, the number 4 should appear on hmi, then the number 3 and finaly the 0 ???

In larger programs you could loose track of which output is set or reset and where. Then you would need to test at each set or reset if the output was realy set or reset. 1. you could set a tag to skip a step (e.g. "skip step 1") 2. you could set a tag to pause a step (e.g. "pause stepper" ... or separate tags for each step) 3. if you need only the number of the timer, move the number in a tag and display it (e.g. "Timer nr") 4. when you have all the step tags("step 1", ... "step 5"), use them to write the output combinations for the appropriate step. BR Attachment stepper.JPG (362 Downloads)

Have luck. Tomy.
