Description
The block works as a countdown timer which is decreased by 1 every PLC cycle. The timer initial value is
adjustable by the "Reload value" input. The timer is automatically reloaded with the initial value when it
reaches zero or it can be reloaded at any other time using the "reload" input. The timer remains at reload
value until the reload input is deactivated. The timer output is inverted always when the timer is reloaded.
