provide timer and counter functions. Function blocks allow inputs from the left and pass power through to the right when the function is done or when various conditions are met.

When the input transits from low to high, the timer will begin timing (Accum value) The Timer Enable (EN) bit is set immediately when the rung goes true. It stays set until the rung goes false. The Timer Timing (TT) bit is set when the rung goes true.

PLC manufacturers provide either ON-delay energize or ON-delay de-energize timers, since it is easy to program one from the other. Figure illustrates a timing diagram for both types of ON-delay timer instructions.

When event driven programming is implemented, a timer can be used to determine if an event fails to occur (i.e., Error Trapping). Example: Suppose a pneumatic cylinder has sensors which indicate when the cylinder is fully extended or fully retracted.

PLC timers are instructions that provide the same functions as on-delay and off-delay mechanical and electronic timing relays. PLC timers offer several advantages over their mechanical and electronic counterparts. Time settings can be easily changed.

The PLC timing instructions are software version or replacement of hardwired timers. They are an output instructions when activated they create time related actions ( on delay action, off delay action, time limited on activity, and measure the time …

It outlines the objectives of being able to perform timer operations, counter operations, and embed them in simple applications. It then describes the different timer types including TP, TON, TOF, and TONR timers and explains their parameters and functions.

The document discusses programmable logic controller (PLC) timer functions. It describes the basic timing functions of PLCs including on delay, off delay, and retentive timers. It provides examples of how timers can be used in applications like limiting on time, one-shot operations, and ensuring an interval time within a process cycle.

PLC timer instructions that provide the same functions as timing relays. The most common Plc timer instructions are: On-delay timer (TON) Off-delay timer (TOF) Retentive timer on (RTO)

The document outlines the implementation of PLC timer functions for controlling processes using PLC programming software. It describes various timer types, including TIME DELAY-ON, TIME DELAY-OFF, and RETENTIVE TIMER, along with their applications in industrial settings.
