CTC Logic - Stopwatch

Hi Guys,

I have a commercial client that has asked me to program up a CTC to have 1 page that has 5 loads with an individual On & Off Button for each. When the On button is pressed, he would like it to start a stopwatch which displays the result of how long the load was on under the On button when the Off Button is pressed and the same with the off button. So when the Off button is pressed the Off stop watch starts and records the time when the On button is pressed, and so the loop goes on...

As an extension to the above requirement, he also wants the data saved in a text file to be able to retrieve the data later for analysis.

Has anyone got any ideas in which direction I should look at going ?

 

Thanks Nick,

I thought so, but I have no idea where to start with this, any chance of giving me some clues ?

 

Hey Jesmond

The PICED programming tool is a full blooded simulation environment for the logic engine. You will need to know how to do basic programming in Pascal, which is what the logic engine is based on.

When you click on the logic button on the PICED main screen you go to the logic section, from here there is a help button that leads to a very comprehensive help and tutorial section.

This logic engine is only limited by your imagination and your programming skill. So start doing your homework and get back to the forum if you have specific questions.

PS the Piced program has many logic example projects in the PROJECTS\EXAMPLES folder...

PSS the logic engine will eat the requirement you described. A good PICED programmer (that excludes me) would be able to solve this one in 20 or so lines

BTW for you PICED smarties that 20 lines includes declarations and initialisation...

 

Hi Lucky555,

Thanks for the heads up... I'll look more into the examples and see if something simular exists....
