How can I make Timers that are exactly flashing at 0.25,0.5 and 0.75 of a second. |

Do you need these timers for the sake of animation in the HMI? If you can use bits that will be flashes with 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.6 and 2 seconds. The easiest way is to use clock memory byte. From HW config, double click on the CPU, under the cyclic/memory mask, mark the check box clock memory, and select the memory byte you will use (NB: make sure that the memory byte you will select is not used any more in your software). Here's attached the periods and frequency of the bits of the memory byte. Regards, AttachmentPrinting _Period Duration_.pdf (157 Downloads) |
