Pause The Timer PLC Ladder Logic

The PLC program uses a selector switch and timer to control a motor. When the selector switch turns on, the timer begins counting for 5 seconds and turns the motor on. If the selector switch turns off before 5 seconds, the timer stops counting and saves the remaining time. When the switch turns back on, the timer resumes counting from the saved remaining time. The program repeats this process by resetting the timer to 5 seconds each time it finishes counting down.

Pause the Timer PLC Ladder Logic

Write a PLC program so that when a selector switch is ON, the timer starts to count for 5 seconds and switch motor to ON, when the selector
switch is OFF before the 5 seconds the timer stops counting and when the selector switch is ON again then the timer starts to count from the last
value the timer stopped counting. And so on.

Note: the best practice to learn the PLC programming is to start writing the PLC program, take your time before you review the answer.

Network 01

Convert instruction to convert from the integer format to BCD format.

Network 02

When the selector is ON, the timer start to count from the preset value stored in MW2 and stores the remaining time in MW4 while the motor is
ON.

When the selector is OFF before 5 seconds elapsed, the motor stops and the negative edge detector energizes the move instruction to move the
remaining time to the initial time value MW0.

So when the selector is ON again the timer starts to count from the preset value which is remaining time from the last run.

Network 03

When the remaining time is equal to zero, 5 seconds is moved to MW0 to start counting for the next time.
