PLC Timers

The document explains two types of PLC timer instructions: the on-delay (TON) and off-delay (TOF) instructions. A TON instruction delays the start of a process until a preset time has elapsed after a condition becomes true, while a TOF instruction delays the shutdown of a process until a preset time has elapsed after a condition becomes false. Both instructions reset their accumulated values when the respective conditions change back.

A timer on-delay (TON) instruction is a programming instruction used

to delay the start of a machine or process for a set period of time.


A TON instruction starts timing when the logic preceding the TON
instruction on a rung change from false to true.
When a TON instruction starts timing, the accumulated value begins
to count time base intervals until the accumulated value equals the
preset value.
When the logic preceding a TON instruction changes from true to
false, the TON instruction stops timing and the accumulated value is
reset to zero.

• For example, in an automated conveyor system, a TON
might delay the conveyor's start when a sensor detects
an object, allowing for another process to be completed
before the conveyor begins moving.
• A timer off-delay (TOF) instruction is a PLC programming instruction
used to delay the shut down of machinery, such as an external cooling
fan when a motor has been stopped.
• A TOF instruction starts timing when the logic preceding the
instruction on the rung changes from true to false. When a TOF
instruction starts timing,
• The accumulated value begins to count time base intervals until the
accumulated value equals the preset value.
• When the logic preceding a TOF instruction on a rung changes from
false to true, the TOF instruction stops timing and the accumulated
value is reset to zero.
