STATUS BITS FOR ALARM PILOT LIGHTS

(OP)
on a rslogix micrologix 1000 plc, what is the address
for the function to flicker alarm light?

Thanks....

RE: STATUS BITS FOR ALARM PILOT LIGHTS

From the RSLogix 500 help files:

Application note: You can write any value to S:4. It will begin incrementing from this value. You can use any individual bit of this word in your user program as a 50% duty cycle clock bit. Clock rates for S:4/0 to S:4/15 are: 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560, 5120, 10240, 20480, 40960, 81920, 163840, 327680, and 655360 ms  The application using the bit must be evaluated at a rate more than two times faster than the clock rate of the bit.

So....
S:4/5         O:1/0

O:1/0 would be on for .64 seconds and off for .64 seconds
