Hi all,  
I have been creating a Timer UDT to capture the time required to load a tank. It has 5 timers and is enabled based on a sequence(0-100). Out of the 5 timers, one is total cycle time which enables from 0 - 100 and should reset when the trolley starts to move forward which is indicated by station open ,which sequence position 0.Since the sequence is only 0-100 it always stays enabled, how can I turn off the enable by using reset ?

Have you considered using timestamps instead of timers? Or, perhaps tag history to capture various events?
