Timer trigger by PLC tag?
« on: April 16, 2025, 05:27:54 PM »
Code: [Select]
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

     If PE_101.Value = 1 Then
         Timer_CntUp1.Text += 0.1
     End If

 End Sub

Is there any work around with this? I am trying to start a timer with the PLC tag triggers but it is not adding up. I tried using loop as well, but it didn't work also.

You have two options to consider:
Option 1: If your goal is to have a PLC tag trigger a timer, it sounds like you should look into using the DataSubscriber component.

Option 2: There are similar solutions that were posted as seen below, savvy?

My understanding of computer is well below six Σ.
Unless what I say is logically defined in a PLC, everything else might be beyond my control.

I have never tried that one. I will play with the DataSubscribers.

What are similar solutions?
