Omron timer function

[billleung 0]

Dear Gentlement, Any one know how to use the timer function in omron cx 6.1? I want to use a long timer(TIML) in my program. What is the meaning of Present value(PV), Set value (SV)? Any example for using TIML? Thank you Bill

The TIML is a timer that counts down, Set value is the amount you want the timer to starting counting (5 or 10 seconds) and the pv is the current value at which the timer is at when it is turned on. This is a long timer so it needs two dm area for the sv and the pv. so for this timer to work you need to allocate 4 dm's. D1, completion flag is the address to which the done bit is turned on, example i used 200 so 200.00 turns on. I have included a sample, when you turn the bit on it will count down from 5 seconds and turn bit 200.00 on. I also added the section out of the manual. ~Andrew
