Timer (TMR) and Timer Fast (TMRF)
The Timer instruction is a 0.1 second single-input timer
that times to a maximum of 999.9 seconds. The Timer Fast
instruction is a 0.01 second single input timer that times up
to a maximum of 99.99 seconds. These timers will be enabled
if the input logic is true (on) and will be reset to 0 if the input
logic is false (off).
Instruction Specifications
Timer Reference (Taaa): Specifies the timer number.
Preset Value (Bbbb): Constant value (K) or a V-memory
location. (Pointer (P) for DL240, DL250-1 and DL260).
Current Value: Timer current values are accessed by
referencing the associated V or T memory location.* For
example, the timer current value for T3 physically resides in
V-memory location V3.
Discrete Status Bit: The discrete status bit is referenced by the
associated T memory location. It will be on if the current value is equal to or greater than the
preset value. For example, the discrete status bit for Timer 2 would be T2.
NOTE: A V-memory preset is required only if the ladder program or an Operator Interface unit must change
the preset.
NOTE: Both the Timer discrete status bits and the current value are accessed with the same data reference
with the HPP. DirectSOFT uses separate references, such as “T2” for discrete status bit for Timer T2, and
“TA2” for the current value of Timer T2.
You can perform functions when the timer reaches the specified preset using the discrete status
bit. Or, use the comparative contacts to perform functions at different time intervals based on
one timer. The examples on the following page show these methods of programming timers.
