on-delay timer - Example

The timer could be set up so that the start button would need to be pushed and held for five
seconds before the conveyor belt would start.
off-delay timer - Example

off-delay timers are used when you need something to stay running longer than everything else.
For example, cooling fans and pumps might continue to run after a machine pauses from doing
work.
Retentive on-delay timer - Example

Retentive on-delay timers can be used to track the runtime of equipment.


They can be set up to trigger an indicator light to let someone know the equipment has run long
enough and requires maintenance to inspect and clean it.
Master Control Relay (MCR)

Master Control Relay (MCR) function is a powerful programming tool. When MCR is
enabled, the ladder diagram functions normally. When it is not enabled, a specific number of
coils and functions are frozen in the OFF position. Coils in the frozen section will remain OFF
even if their corresponding enable lines are turned ON.

In an electrical control system, a master control relay is used to shut down a section. A
section of ladder logic can be put between two lines containing MCRs. When the first MCR coil is
active, all of the intermediate ladder logic is executed up to the line with another MCR coil.
When the first MCR coil is inactive, the ladder logic is still examined, but all of the outputs or
coils are forced OFF.

Consider the ladder diagram shown. If A is true then the ladder logic is executed
normally. But, if A is false, the following ladder logic will be examined, but all of the outputs will
be forced OFF. The second MCR function appears on a line by itself and marks the end of the
MCR block. After the second MCR, the program execution returns to normal mode. In this
example, while A is true, condition of X will equal to B and condition of Y will be equal to C.
Using MCR blocks to remove sections of programs will not increase the speed of program
execution significantly because the logic is still examined.
