IMPLEMENTATION OF PLC TIMER FUNCTIONS

EX NO:

DATE:

AIM

To apply plc timer functions in multiple timing problems for the control of processes using PLC
programming software.

REQUIREMENTS

1. PLC Programming Software


2. Personal Computer

THEORY

The most commonly used process control device after coils and contacts is the timer. The
most common timing function is TIME DELAY-ON, which is the basic function. There are also many
other timing configurations, all of which can be derived from one or more of the basic TIME DELAY
ON functions. The timing block functions are used with various contact arrangements and in
multiples to accomplish various timing tasks. Typical industrial timing tasks include timing of the
intervals for welding, painting, and heat treating. Timers can also predetermine the interval between
two operations. The other timing functions are TIME DELAY-OFF and RETENTIVE TIMER.

DESIGN

Timer delay ON (non-retentive)

Energizing I:1/0 causes the timer to run for 4 seconds. At the end of 4 seconds the output
(DN) goes on. When the input is de-energized, the output goes off and the timer resets to 0. If the
input I:1/0 is turned off during the timing interval timer resets to 0.

Timer delay OFF (non- retentive)

The TOF timer functions the opposite of the TON timer. De-Energizing I:1/0 causes the
timer to run for 4.5 seconds. The DN bit is initially set. At the end of 4.5 seconds the output (DN)

goes off. When the input is energized the timer resets to 0. If the input I:1/0 is turned on during the
timing interval (for example, after 2.7 seconds), the timer resets to 0

Retentive timer
Functions exactly like TON,TOFF except the accumulated time value is retained even if the
input rung is de-energized.

The timer table contains all information for any timer

– /EN: Timer is enabled (i.e. the input rung is energized)


– /TT: Timer is timing
– /DN: Timer is done
– .PRE: Timer preset value (point at which the timer stops timing)
– .ACC: Timer accumulator (accumulated time value)
These enable(EN) and done (DN) bits can be used for normally open or normally close
contacts any number of times in a program to achieve timing circuitry in process control applications.

PROBLEM DEFINITION

1. When the lights are turned off in a building, an exit door light is to remain on for an additional
2 min, and the parking lot lights are to remain on for an additional 3 min after the door light
goes out. Write a program to implement this process.
2. Given is a hardwired time-delayed motor starting circuit. Implement a ladder logic program
for the same.

3. Write a ladder logic program to implement the process illustrated in Figure below. The
sequence of operation is to be as follows:
• Normally open start and normally closed stop pushbuttons are used to start and stop the
process.
• When the start button is pressed, solenoid A energizes to start filling the tank.
• As the tank fills, the empty level sensor switch closes.
• When the tank is full, the full level sensor switch closes.
• Solenoid A is de-energized.
• The agitate motor starts automatically and runs for 3 min to mix the liquid.
• When the agitate motor stops, solenoid B is energized to empty the tank.
• When the tank is completely empty, the empty sensor switch opens to de-energize solenoid B.
• The start button is pressed to repeat the sequence.
