I have a quesion about using the timer1 function. I am a complete virgin when it comes to programming, so please be kind. I have a project that is using an NCD relay controller to control linear actuators. I want one relay to turn on and then stay on for 10 seconds and then turn off. I set the timer1 properties to enable with an interval time of 10000. I am programming a button to turn on the relay then wait 10 seconds then turn the relay off. All that happens is the relay comes on then off immediatley. I have tryed to do this several different ways with the same results. It is though the timer1 is not getting recognized. So my main question is, what steps am I missing, and how do I get a delay of 10 seconds before the program recognizes the turnoffrelay command? Thank you for any help.

Hi,
In the button event start the timer and switch the relay on.
In the timer event create a counter to count the seconds the relay is on and switch then the relay off.
