Old video, but very good. Thank you! I have a situation where I want a light to have 3 states. Off, Blinking, then solid. For example, Off, not ready. Something is put into position, then blinking, ready. Last would be enabling the process to start with a push button, then the light goes solid. A lot more to it than that, but that would cover it.... Again, thanks for the video!
Quick question, would the output to your light be the same if you had used the .TT (timer timing) bit for either timer? Is there any advantage to using the enable bit over the TT bit for an output? I’m new to PLC programming so just looking for any clarity on the issue…
Honestly man, your best bet is to just try it 🤷🏻♂️ play around and see how the different bits act. I haven’t thought about this code in awhile and my brain isn’t in the mood to dive back into this stuff lol. It’s very possible the TT bit would work perfectly fine, but I think it would have to be a normally closed bit. Do you have access to rslogix? If not, I can pull out my laptop real quick and tell you what happens Remember, there’s a million and one different ways to do one specific thing. Some are good, some are bad, some are just a matter of preference/style. The simplest way to do what I did in the video is to actually use one single timer. Try it out!

Great video. Not a lot of good content out there for ladder logic. I really appreciate the content and thorough explanation.
Could I perhaps just create the repeating light in main
thanks for sharing!!😀
thank you king this helped me out a ton #day1
USE SYSTEM CLOCK VARIABLE ON THE SLC500

Please forgive me , i downloaded the video on phone because TH-cam offer lower quality
You have been forgiven
@@dipsylogic1715 thanks
Thanks 👍
