Send output signal afther running X hours

    Sure. You could do it through the ladder using a timer to count down. Timer’s done turn on the output. This method depends on how many hours you need. The timer maximum is 6553.5 seconds.

    Another method would be use a Timer Variable with the SETTM instruction. You then could use a conditional instruction to turn on the output. Once again, this has a maximum amount that is even larger.

    I know a thing or two, because I’ve seen a thing or two. Don't even ask about a third thing. I won't know it.

    Great thanks for the answer!

    The reason why, is that I would like the robot to send an output when the running hours reach the

    point that maintenance is needed as a reminder.

    I know you can look it up but it's just a question :smiling_face:

    Are timers sufficient enough for this purpose?

    This is what i do, that doesn't mean it's the right way to do it. :smiling_face:
