due to hardware not behaving the same as software I've decided to do a recode. Originally my E10Relay ladder logic was fine. It behaves as I intended in simulation mode but when uploaded to PLC it fails. I have 2 states either start batch or end batch (simple batch control). It seemed to not want to enter the second state when I monitor the PLC but simulation it does.
So looking over my ladder, I had done a lot of things the hard way as I was getting use to the environment. I decided to solve the problem I will just re-write it. This has presented another problem to me;
THE PROBLEM:
I just wanted to make a 1 minute timer and use counters to calculate 1 hour, half hour, and 6 hours.
So I made a one minute timer(tmr1) and placed a normally closed contact infront of it which was off tmr1.
I then made the 3 counters all with an open contact(tmr1) in front of them.
When I run this in simulation mode the timer is reset by the NC(tmr1) befor the NO(tmr1) contacts are detected by the counters. What am I doing wrong?
