Timers are one of the first things you learn about programmable logic controllers. (PLC) Just about every PLC program will include timer instruction. The Productivity 2000 Series PLC has several different timer instructions for your program. We discussed the timed coil (TMC) and flasher coil (FLS) last time as part of the ladder logic output discussion. (Ladder Logic Output Instruction – Video)
We will now look at using the Simple Timer (STMR) and the Timer (TMR) instructions in the productivity suite software. Let’s get started.
Detailed information can be found on our website. The post for this video is located here:
