Hi everybody.
I have recently decided to take up PLC programming as a hobby to familiarise myself with it with a view to doing a course further down the line. I downloaded the Crouzet Millenium 3 software as it is free and apparently so easy to use. But guess what? I am still confused haha.
Anyways I am just playing around with a small little circuit using the function block programming where i want to run a little lamp for a certain amount of time after a start button is pressed and 4 sensors are giving an input to the PLC, the 4 sensors are pretend safeties to say that the door is closed and my little oven can make my muffin.
I have the timing part right where the lamp goes on and back off after the timer goes on and off. However if I open one of the sensors in the simulation and close it again the timer stops and then starts back up by itself and i am just not sure how to put a manual reset in so this doesnt happen. I have attached a little snip of what i am doing and hopefully its clear as i may be way off or not.
Inputs 1- 3 are my pretend sensors and input 4 is my stop
Input 5 is my start and input 6 is the timer reset
