Timer Instructions
• In the relay logic diagrams, symbols are used to represent timer coils and their associated timer contacts.

Timer Instructions (Cont.)
• Two types of timer instructions: – ON-delay timers.– OFF-delay timers.

ON-delay Timers
• Start timing when timer coils are energized.• Normally open contacts close and normally
closed contacts open when the timer is finished timing.
• Contacts immediately revert to normal states when the timer accumulated register resets to zero.
• Delay before contacts switch when timer turns on; no delay in switching when timer turns off.

OFF-delay Timers
• Start timing when their timer coils are de-energized.
• Normally open contacts close and normally closed contacts open when the timer is finished timing.
• Contacts revert to their normal states when the timer accumulated register resets to zero.

Timer Instruction Formats
• Coil format:– Uses coils to display the timer instruction.
• Block format:– Uses a box shape to display the timer
instruction.– More common symbol for displaying timer
instructions.

PLC Timer Instruction Registers
• Preset register:– Content is the preset value that the timer is
initialized to hold. – Holds the preset number.
• Accumulated register:– Holds the time that the timer has been timing.
• Status register, also called flag register: – Holds the flag bits that are used by the PLC
processor to monitor the status of the timer.

PLC Timer Instruction Registers (Cont.)
• Timers in Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series PLC:– Data file four (T4) reserved for timer
instructions.– Timers have addresses T4:0 to T4:255.– In theory, can have up to 256 timers.– In practice, number of timers is limited by
PLC memory capacity.

Timer Base Number
• Multiplied by the preset number. • Defines unit of time as a fraction of a
second or a second.• 0.01 seconds, 0.1 seconds, and 1
second most commonly used in PLC timers.

Timing Bits
• Enable bit (EN)• Timer timing bit (TT)• Done bit (DN)

PLC Timer Instruction Timers
• Three different types of timers for Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series PLCs:– Non-retentive timer ON-delay.– Retentive timer ON-delay.– Non-retentive timer OFF-delay.

Fixed Preset Value Non-retentive Timer ON-Delay Instructions
• Block diagram of an SLC 500 non-retentive timer ON-delay with address T4:0.

Variable Preset Value Non-retentive Timer ON-Delay Instructions
• Move (MOV) instruction:– Used for copying the content of one
register into another or for loading a number into a register.
– Can be used to create a variable preset timer.

Retentive Timer ON-Delay Instructions
• Reset (RES) instruction:– Used to reset a retentive timer.

Interlocking Timers
• Interlocked timers:– Output turns on and off sequentially.
• Common method of flashing lights or ringing bells in Allen-Bradley SLC 500 series programmable logic control systems.

Cascading Timers
• In some industrial applications:– Timers must have a large preset value.– PLC ladder diagrams that contain several
timers can be created.• Cascading links multiple timers together.
![Page 24: PLC Timer Instructions](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56812ef3550346895d9495dc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Cascading Timers (Cont.)
• Timers are cascaded together such that when one timer is finished timing, the second one starts.
• When the second timer is done, the third one starts, and so forth.
