TIMEDOUT Instruction PLC Programming

TIMEDOUT Instruction PLC Programming The Timed Output (TIMEDOUT) instruction will turn an output ON for a predetermined time. Minimum On time is the amount of time (in milliseconds) the specified Output will be ON. This can be any constant value from 1 to 65535 or any numeric location containing a value in that range. Output is the Bit location that will turn ON for the prescribed time. This can be any writable Bit location in the PLC. If Maintain Output is unchecked, the specified Output will turn OFF as soon as the Minimum On Time is reached, regardless of the state of the input logic. If Maintain Output is checked after the Minimum On Time is reached, the specified Output will remain ON as long as the input logic is true. The timed output instruction will save you PLC programming time by using this instruction instead of combining latching and timing circuits. Programming and examples of the BRX Do-More series can be found at this URL: https://accautomation.ca/series/brx-do-more-plc/ There are several reasons why we are using the BRX Do-More Controller. Here are just a few. – Standalone PLC with built-in I/O – Built-in Data Logging – Communication ability – Ethernet Port, RS232, RS485, USB – support for protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, ASCII, K-sequence (DirectLOGIC users), Custom Protocols (ASCII over serial, TCP or UDP over Ethernet) – Built-in Analog input and output – Integrated motion control – High-speed counters – Powerful instruction set (Video of Instructions in software) – Ability to expand the system with a variety of modules
