Status Bit when using latching outputs

Status Bit when using latching outputs

Status Bit when using latching outputs

(OP)
Trying to write my first program in many years, using RS Logix 500. I can't seem to get my latched outputs to unlatch in a power loss situation. I think there's some way to accomplish that using a status bit, but I can't seem to get it right. Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this. Thank You.

RE: Status Bit when using latching outputs

Try using the first scan bit to unlatch the latched output. This is a "one-shot" bit which is asserted during the first program pass after powerup.

RE: Status Bit when using latching outputs

In the SLC & ML product lines the first pass bit address is: S:1/15

RE: Status Bit when using latching outputs

So....

You can use the bit for each latch such as:
  S:1/15
--] [-------------(U)-

or move a zero to an entire register:

  S:1/15
--] [--------| MOV |
             |A: 0 |
             |B:O:1|
             |
