The document discusses timers in programmable logic controllers (PLCs). It describes how timers have replaced electromechanical devices for timing functions in industrial processes. There are two main types of timers: ON-delay timers, which start timing after a coil is energized, and OFF-delay timers, which start timing after a coil is de-energized. ON-delay timers have contacts that change state after a preset time interval, while OFF-delay timers maintain contact states when the coil is energized but start timing after it is de-energized. The document provides an example of using an ON-delay timer to turn on an output after a specified number of seconds, and using an OFF-delay timer to

Rayan Isran
Lab 5
• Last lab we did advanced logic gates, the
latching circuit

• Labeling addresses

• Oil pump / motor program assignment


Topics For Today
• Timers
Timers
• Before PLCs, costly electromechanical and
discrete electronic devices were used for
timing functions
Timers
• Examples of time-driven processes: automatic
washing machines, bottle filling, clothes
dryers, launch sequence events (aerodefense)

• PLCs with timers have replaced boxes full of


electromechanical parts
Timers
• Types of timers:

• ON-delay, OFF-delay
• Timers are indicated by T0, T1, T2, …, Tn in PLC
programs
• These contacts can be used as inputs for
further events

• These contacts can be used as inputs for
further events
ON delay
• Coil must be energized before the timing
sequence can begin

• Contacts associated with the coils change


state after a predetermined time interval
OFF delay
• Maintains contact states when coil is
energized but starts timing after coil is de-
energized

• Contacts associated with the coils change


state after a predetermined time interval
Do-More Timers
Do-More Timers
• Most basic example of an ON-delay project:

Turn on an output after X seconds

• Most basic example of an OFF-delay project:

Turn off an output after X seconds (when the


output is initially on)
Do-More Timer
ON-delay Timer
ON-delay Timer
• Specify the duration
ON-delay Timer
• After X seconds, C0 bit is energized (1),
therefore Y0 will turn on
OFF-delay Timer
• C0 bit is initially energized (set to 1), but will
de-energize and break contact with Y0 after
time interval
Task
• Recall your oil pump and motor program from
the previous lab

• Add a timer that causes the motor to turn on


X seconds after the pump is turned on

• Where X is the last digit of your roll number


Task
• When the motor is turned on, it should turn
off again after Y seconds

• Y being the last 2 digits of your roll number

• After it turns off, the cycle should repeat (i.e.


your oil pump should run again)
