Timer instructions Chapter 23
Rockwell Automation Publication 2080-RM001D-EN-E - February 2015 631
RTO increases an internal timer when its input is active, but does not reset its
internal timer when its input changes to inactive.
If using a Micro810 or Micro820 controller, the RTO internal timer does not
persist through a power cycle by default. To persist the internal timer, set the
Retained configuration parameter to true.
If using a Micro830 or Micro850 controller, the RTO internal timer will persist
through a power cycle.
