3.3.4

Example of a TON Instruction

This logic shows that as long as belt.5 is true

timer2 increments to 1000. When 10 seconds

have elapsed, the timer sets Q true, causing the

variable box to be set true.

3.4

Timer Pulse (TP)

Use this instruction to enable an output for a preset amount of time. This instruction

guarantees that an output remains on for a preset time, regardless of the state of the

EN input.
When EN is true, the instruction sets outputs Q and T and begins counting towards the

preset value. The timer increments regardless of EN's state until the value in Elapsed

equals that of TPreset. When these values are equal, outputs Q and T become false.

The value in Elapsed is reset when EN is false and the value in Elapsed equals that of

TPreset. The value in Elapsed is in increments of 0.01 seconds.
