Off-Delay Timing

[Crowbar1]

Hi all,
I am presently using Mitsubishi's FX series PLCs, programming with MEDOC. I am looking for an easier way to create a TRUE off-delay. To accomplish this now I have to use a relay equivalent, a latch, and an on-delay timer. This gets to be a bit much when you you need more than a couple of off-delays. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, this is a common thread that runs through all Japanese PLCs. Mitsubishi, Omron, Idec, Aromat, etc. all offer only one timer - the on delay timer. All other forms of timing have to be built with logic using the on-delay timer. Jay in Dallas
