(a circle which turns dark when = 1) On the panel this circle just blinks irregularly at +- 3 second instead of the given 30 seconds. And this while M1.4 = 1 the whole time (monitored in a watch table). When I set M1.4 = 1 without the TON, this problem is gone. Can anyone explain to me how the TON behaves and how it could cause this? Thanks Attachment s7basicprob.JPG (103 Downloads)

Make sure that MB1 isn't used as clock memory. To find this out, take a Bit in a global DB instead of M1.4. regards

It says that M1.0 -> M1.3 is used. However it will probably write the whole byte instead of each seperate bit. :( This way it would explain the blinking. Because of the cyclic execution of the PLC it will not have been visible in the monitor view, nor would it affect the programming. It's a coincidence I skipped M1.0 -> M1.3 and I didn't use MB0 because I know from Step-7 that is the clock byte. I just didn't count on the fact that Step-7 basic introduces a System memory byte.
