Pulsing Relay Based on LowFuelLevelWarning

Post by Adam » Tue Jun 06, 2017 9:08 am

I am new to the powervision configuration software. I have some experience programming plc, arduino, and a few other microcontrollers.

I have a few questions about how to do certain tasks.

I am using the mpc 20 controller and building off the default configuration.

I am wanting to use Relay 6 in the following way.

I want it to pulse on and off whenever the "LowFuelLevelWarning" becomes active.

if LowFuelLevelWarning =1

Relay 6 "on"
delay 2000ms
Relay 6 "off"
repeat

I have tried programming it a few ways using state machines and an activity program. Can't seem to get it to work.

I know it is an issue with me being completely unfamiliar with the interface and navigating the software. Any help would be appreciated.

Does relay 6 need to be enabled somewhere up stream for this to work? I would assume so, but don't know enough about navigation.

Sorry for the dumb question.

Thanks
Adam

Here is a document that explains the steps to do to pulse a relay like you asked.
