Power-up Timer
« on: August 14, 2014, 12:21:18 PM »
I am using a Do-More H2-DM1E CPU connected by Ethernet to a C-More EA9-T10CL. I want to have a timer in the Do-More that begins timing when the PLC is powered up and resets when the Do-More is powered down so it begins timing again on the next power up.
Any ideas of how to do this?

Use MATH along with the values stored in SDT0 (Current time), SDT1 (Date and time of last power-down) and SDT2 (Date and time of last power-up).
Or you can put a timer on a rung with NOT ST0.

A timer on a rung with NOT ST0 is simple and effective. Thanks!

Yup, that's one difference between DL and Do-More.  You have to reset them if you want them to restart on prog-to-run transition (or I guess you could remove them from the retentive timer range).
