I need to use the cursor keys to increment the time in the off-delay timers, and show in message text, but no success. And more: Exists a better way to increment/decrement the counter?

But to use cursor keys you haveto press the "ESC"-button additionally (e.g. ESC+C1). For manually operated single steps i also think that it´s the best way to do this with the cursor keys if you don´t want to use inputs. If you want to preselect an off-delay-time of e.g. 55 seconds, perhaps it would be better to use an analog input, use a potentiometer, an analog amplifier and refer this funktion block to the off-delay instead of pressing the cursor key 55 times.

But this solution needs to add a new hardware, then i cannot use, for the time being . So, how i can to initialize the counter with a select value? no way? regards

(Could you post the exact type and hardware-version - 0BA.... ?) If you really don´t have analog inputs you could also make a scaling (e.g. steps like 10,20,30 ... seconds) and select these preset values by a switch or also by the cursor keys. Another way is to let the counter count up in bigger steps (e.g. 2 or 3 seconds). You see, there are more possibilities, it depends on your application. If you need help in programming please post again. Regards Fux

Because of this I need to use to advantage the cursor keys . ah, some inputs are reserved, for moment.. In my aplication, i'm using the : OBA-5 (AC/DC -24V, 8 inputs (2 programable D/A), 8 outputs) + expasion ports with : OBA0(DM16-24R 8inputs 8 outputs) + OBA1(DM8 - 4 inputs, 4 outputs). The machine had some upgrades.... Currently , the I have 4 free outputs, only. regards, using the google translate..
