Timer time limit value
Although the low-speed timer and high-speed timer are the same device, timer limit value are different depending on how to
specify the timer device (how to write the instruction). For example, specifying OUT T0 generates a low-speed timer and
specifying OUT H T0 produces a high-speed timer even when using the same T0 device. This also applies to the retentive
timer. The long timer cannot be set to a low-speed or high speed device. The time limit value for each timer is set in "Timer
Limit Setting".
■Timer limit setting
The following window is to set the timer time limit values.

Timer current value and the measurable range
This sections describes the timer current value and the measurable range.
■Timer (T/ST)
The current value range is 0 to 32767. The measurable time range is from 0 to (timer time limit value 32767).
■Long timer (LT/LST)
The setting range of the current value is 0 to 4294967295, which is the same as the range of unsigned 32-bit integers. The
measurable time range is from long timer time limit value to (timer time limit value 4294967295).
Handling timers
When executing the timer coil (the OUT T instruction), the timer coil is turned on/off, the current value is updated, and the
contact is turned on/off.
