Translated with Google  
Hello, how do you connect a timer to a variable, so you can use more than one timer without getting overlapped?  
Or how to use multiple timers simultaneously regardless of variables.

You should do what @jared sugussted however I would have a function block for each timer. Makes it easier and cleaner when you get into the 1000 block range.
