Re: PLC help and sequencing

*straightens hat* oakie dokie... I havent done this in a while (since i really really don't like ladder logic) but i have a little experience with an Allen Bradley MicroLogix 1000.

I don't remember the names of everything... but if you let a timer run for each one of your functions, then just tie the relay output for your motor or whatever to the EN channel out of the timer...

Well i may just be confusing but I believe thats what i did... I think that was almost two years ago now so i may be completely wrong.

Do you HAVE to use ladder logic?

Does anyone else wish you could program allen bradley PLCs with a sequential language? The hardware's fantastic, its cheap (comparitvely), but man I can't stand ladder logic.
