<div class="markdown_content"><p>I am trying to monitor the elapsed/remaining time of steps in a SFC program. Idealy I would like to be able to also change the duration of the step minimum duration. If this is not possible, how do I implement timers within the step itself, and reset them when the step transition is complete, or on re-entry to the step.</p> <ol> <li> <p>Is it possible to access the status of Minimum Time of a non-iec step?</p> </li> <li> <p>Is it possible to modify the Minimum time of a step from the code?</p> </li> <li> <p>If using a timer within a step, what is the best way to reset its state on re-entry to the step?</p> </li> </ol> <p>Thanks.</p></div>
