Remote Assignment $3$

The following document outlines the required prelab activities, main lab task, and file submission

required for this remote assignment.

Prelab

Before you can begin the main lab task, you must:

$1.$ Sign in to PLC Fiddle, navigate to code school, and complete

a$.$ Intro to Timers Lesson $0-6$

Lab Task

You will create a clock module that keep track of $24$ hours, AM$/$PM status, and number of $24-$hour days

passed. Three days will equal $1$ month, and $3$ months will be the maximum limit of our clock. It will do

this by alternating AMTimer and PMTimer once each day, like the setup in Timers Lesson $3.$ You will

create the following tags:

$$ ClockStart $$ A Boolean that controls if the clock is counting $($ON$)$ or not $($OFF$)$

$$ AMTimer $$ a Timer that counts for $12$ seconds. We will use $1$ second $=1$ hour for this project.

$$ PMTimer $$ a Timer that counts for $12$ seconds. We will use $1$ second $=1$ hour for this project.

$$ AM$/$PM $$ a Boolean where OFF $=$ AM$,$ ON $=$ PM

$$ DaysPassed $$ a Counter that keeps track of the number of days that have passed. Assume $3$ days

per month for this assignment so we can reasonably test the clock.

$$ MonthsPassed $$ a Counter that keeps track of how many months have passed. Assume a

maximum value of $3$ for this assignment.

Your program will need to meet the following criteria:

$1.$ When ClockStart is turned ON$,$ AMTimer should begin counting. Once it reaches the

maximum, PMTimer should start counting.

$2.$ When PMTimer reaches its max then DaysPassed should increment and the counting

cycle starts over.

$3.$ AM$/$PM needs to accurately reflect which timer is active.

$4.$ DaysPassed and MonthsPassed should reset of ClockStart is turned OFF.

$5.$ Also, AMTimer should not be enabled if MonthsPassed is at $3($clock stops counting$).$
