RE: using a single momentary pushbutton input to turn on/off output

I need to accomplish this also.

What have you learned or read online that will help in understanding this?

I want to have a Proface going to a SLC500 I am thinking. What module would be needed in the 500 series to accomplish momentary on back to off when a button is pushed on the Proface?

RE: using a single momentary pushbutton input to turn on/off output

Here's how I do it...


     button      Bit1         Bit2
001 ---][--------]/[----------( )--

     button                   Bit1
002 ---][---------------------( )--

      Bit2          Out       Bit3
003 ---][-----+-----]/[-------(L)--
              |
              |     Out       Bit3
              +-----][--------(U)--

      Bit3                    Out
004 ---][---------------------( )--



The first 2 rungs create a one-shot, preventing the output from continually toggling ON and OFF.
Bit2 is both the output of the one-shot and the input to the toggle logic. Each time Bit2 goes high, Bit3 is toggled to the opposite state as the current state of the output.
The output is then set accordingly.

You can use sequencer command.
Its one rung programme.
