retentive timer
« on: November 11, 2009, 05:23:26 AM »
I am using an E10-Relay with TriLOGY 3.53.
I need to run a motor for a specific amount of time, but sometimes have to interrupt its run time.  When it starts back up, I need the timer to begin where it left off, not start over.

You can create a timer using a counter and a clock pulse. In E10 you can use the 0.01s or 1 second clock pulse. In this case if the input condition to the counter is OFF the clock pulse will not decrement the counter anymore and it will stop half way and you can continue later.
