Siemens Programming S7 300 Timer problem...

[arpix]

Hello Guys!


Let me explain what is my problem.

I have two timers T1 and T2, When i detect a metal the M8.0 memory will addressed and start the T1 Timer. T1 counts 2sec after 2sec on the out T1 will adderss the M8.1 what is the activation for T2.
T2 will count 4 sec. and this is one cycle. T1+T2= 6sec

I need to make that when i detected the metal the counter will start to work, but if the transporter stops working i want to pause the counting. and when the transporter start to work counter will start to count down wher it was paused. If it was stopt on 3 sec that means the T2 will start from 3.1 sec till 4 sec.

Sorry fir my bad english and i hhope that my explanation is clear.

Thanx, and best regards

ummm,
You'll need to program in a software database running parallel with the base timing info. into you ladder (an array will do), where when the machine stops the stored info is is recalled at the last storage point or flag. There might be something in section 7 of the manual. Otherwise contact the manufacturer.

Trap the timer count load it to a memory location then when ready reload it to the T2 timer register?
