Accuracy of timers
This sections describes the accuracy of timers.
■Timer (T/ST)
The scan time value measured by the END instruction is added to the current value when the OUT T instruction is executed.
If the timer coil is turned off when the OUT T instruction is executed, the current value is not updated. The maximum
response accuracy of the timer (the time duration from capture of an input (X) to output of it) is "2 scan time + timer time limit
setting".
Timer limit setting = 10ms, setting value of T0 = 8 (10ms 8 = 80ms), scan time = 25ms
(1) Accuracy from when the coil of the timer turns on until when the contact of the timer turns on
- (1 scan time + timer limit setting) to (1 scan time)
(2) Timing on when the coil of the timer turns on
(3) Input fetching timing
