micrologix 1500 - blink light

[VJTX]

I would like to blink a light, according to the value in N7:1, which can be 0,1,2,3 only.
so, if value is 0, light stays off.
If value is 3, light blinks 3x, stays off 2 seconds, blinks 3x, etc.
if value is 2, light blinks 2x, stays off 2 seconds, blinks 2x,etc.
if value is 1, blink once, off 2 seconds, blink 1, etc.
Any one have a simple solution?

One more definition needed - what is a 'blink'? Possibly 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off?

yep.

VJTX,

i suggest setting up your logic first using the timer logic to make it flash one time and then reset. then set up a counter to control the number of flashes based on the number in the
n register being moved to the preset address.

Thanks. I ended up using a counter and a timer.
