The document provides instructions on PLC timers, detailing their types (TON, TOF, RTO, RES) and functionalities, including time settings and accuracy. It explains key concepts such as preset time, accumulated time, and various timer bits (EN, TT, DN). Additionally, it outlines a sequence of operations for a process involving start/stop controls and automated actions based on sensor inputs.

TIMER INSTRUCTIONS

PLC timers are instructions that provide the same functions like

mechanical and electronic timing relays.

Merits:

• Time settings can be easily changed.

• The number of them used in a circuit can be increased or

decreased through the use of programming changes rather

than wiring changes.

• Timer accuracy and repeatability are extremely high because

its time delays are generated in the PLC processor.


TYPES
• TON (Timer On Delay) —Counts time-based intervals when the

instruction is true.

• TOF (Timer Off Delay) —Counts time-based intervals when the

instruction is false

• RTO (Retentive Timer On) —Counts time-based intervals when the

instruction is true and retains the accumulated value when the

instruction goes false or when power cycle occurs.

• RES (Reset) —Resets a retentive timer’s accumulated value to zero.


Quantities
• Preset time represents the time duration for
the timing circuit.
• Accumulated time represents the amount of
time that has elapsed from the moment the
timing coil became energized.
• Time base: 1 s, 0.1 s, and 0.01 s
If a programmer entered 0.1 for the time base
and 50 s in preset, Actual time delay is 5 sec.
• Enable (EN) bit —The enable bit is true (has a status of 1) whenever

the timer instruction is true. When the timer instruction is false, the

enable bit is false (has a status of 0).

• Timer-timing (TT) bit —The timer-timing bit is true whenever the

accumulated value of the timer is changing, which means the timer

is timing. When the timer is not timing, the accumulated value is

not changing, so the timer-timing bit is false.

• Done (DN) bit —The done bit changes state whenever the

accumulated value reaches the preset value. Its state depends on

the type of timer being used.


Timing Diagram
Study the ladder logic program as shown in
Figure and answer the following questions
a. Name the type of timer has been
programmed. Write the length of the time-delay
period.
b. When does the timer start timing? When
does the timer stop timing and reset itself?
c. When input LS1 is first closed, state the status
(on or off) of each output.
d. When the timer’s accumulated value equals
the preset value, state the status (on or off) of
each output.
e. Suppose that rung 1 is true for 5 s and then
the power is lost. What will be the accumulated
value of the timer when power is restored
EXAMPLES
Sequence of Operation
• START switch is provided to switch ON the process.
• STOP switch is provided to switch OFF the process.
• If the process is ON and the outlet valve is closed, then the
inlet valve is opened till the upper limit sensor (LS2) is
activated.
• Then heater is switched ON till the temperature sensor senses
80°C.
• After the heater is turned OFF, the fluid is stirred for 5 minutes
using stirrer, allow the fluid to be settle for 20 min. After 20
min, the outlet valve is opened till the liquid level reaches its
lower limit.
• The process should be repeated by automatically.
