Hello everyone
I'm trying to make a countdown timer (minutes and seconds) in ladder language (no structured program), try this on GX Development Mitsubishi. Can someone help me ?

A little vague as to what you are trying to do, an event to occur after so many minutes?
Does it matter count up or count down?

If just needed an interval, it is simplest to calculate timer preset from required values for minutes and seconds.
But if the goal is to display countdown values for minutes and second on some HMI, either more math is needed or something like thisMS_Timer.png
