Omron CP1H PLC Programming Timers

The Omron CP1H series of programmable logic controllers are capable of having 4096 timers. There are twelve different timing instructions in the PLC. Six binary and six BCD instructions for the set values of the timers separate the six basic instructions. The memory area for timers has separate areas for the Timer PVs (Present values) and the Timer Completion Flags. We will be looking at the timer instructions in the CP1H along with some programming examples. The secret to using timers is a post that will go over timing charts. It is a good place to understand how timing charts can assist you in programming timers.

This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-timers Previously in this Omron CP1H PLC series, we looked at the following: System Hardware https://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-system-hardware/ CX-Programmer https://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-cx-programmer/ Establish Communication https://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-establish-communication/ Omron CP1H Setting, Forcing and Online Editing https://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-setting-forcing-and-online-editing/ Omron CP1H Numbering Systems and Addressing https://accautomation.ca/omron-cp1h-numbering-systems-and-addressing/ There are several reasons why we are using the Omron CP1H Controller. Here are just a few. - Standalone PLC with built-in I/O - Communication ability - Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485 - support for protocols such as Modbus, Host Link, ASCII (No Protocol) - Built-in Analog inputs and outputs - 4 axis control of motion - 4 high-speed counters - powerful instruction set (similar to CS and CJ series) - Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules The Omron CP1 series of programmable logic controllers consists of three different units. CP1E is the cost-effective unit, CP1L is the high performing controller that can come with embedded Ethernet and the CP1H is the position control and comprehensive programmable logic controller. We will be looking a the CP1H for this series, but a majority of the information can be applied to the CP1E and the CP1L controllers as well. https://www.accautomation.ca
