The timer is most commonly used PLC instruction. Timers set the output to 1 at specific time intervals which is called preset time. when input of timer condition is true than timer start running until preset value reached.Output coil represent the timer in a program .

mitsubishi plc range of the timer

The allowable range is unsigned int type(USINT) so you can set your timer k1 to k32767.

range of the time

Low-speed (100 ms) timer 0.1 to 3276.7 s and for high speed timer 0.01 to 327.67 s .

total no of timer

Maximum to minimum timer no T0 to T2048.

mitsubishi plc parameter of timer instruction

Timer number - timer no is identification number of your timer you can declare your timer like T0 , T1 up to T2047(2048).
preset time - preset time is duration of the timer. Preset indicates unit of time base.for example a low speed timer having timer number T0 with and preset value of K30. so timer timer run 30 x 0.1 Sec = 3 sec. so your timer run only 3 second not 30 second.

Preset timers are integer value so you can define your timer preset value 1 to 32767.you can define your timer by device K or D.
if you want to change your value by OPC, HMI, SCADA so always use Device 'D'.

mitsubishi plc low speed timer

Low-speed timer, Counts time in increments of 100 Ms. Output coil represent the timer in a program so for declaration of timer insert a coil and declare timer no and preset value (T0 K50) separated by a space and press ok for example T0 K50 where T0 timer number and K50 is preset value of timer . insert a output coil and addressing of low speed timer : timer address, and preset separated by a space for example "T1 k50"

where T3 is tmer number and K50 is timer preset value.

in low speed timer base is 100ms so if your preset value is k50 than timer runs only 5 second. 50 x 100ms = 5 sec similarly if preset value is k100 than your actual timer running period is 100 X 100ms = 10 sec.

in this example T0 timer number and K50 is timer preset value. in next rung timer address is used as 'NO' contact. if input of X0 is true than timer start for defined preset value, when timer actual value is equal to preset value than output of timer set to true otherwise false.

mitsubishi plc high speed timer

high-speed timer, Counts time in increments of 10 ms. To address a high speed timer use a output coil instruction , H Timer address and preset value separated by a space. insert a output coil and addressing high speed timer : H, timer address, and preset separated by a space for example "H T1 k50"

H : high speed timer.
T5 is timer number.
K50 timer preset value.

in this example T1 is timer number and K50 is timer preset value. in next rung timer address is used as 'NO' contact. if input of X1 is true than timer start for defined preset value, when timer actual value is equal to preset value than output of timer set to true otherwise false.

mitsubishi plc retentive timer

when the input of retentive timer is set to true retentive timer starts increasing. when current value is equal to the preset value, a retentive timer goes time out and its contact turns on. If the input condition of retentive timer is turned off during that increment (timer run), the coil is de-energized but the current value is kept. To restart the increase, which means to accumulate values, turn input conditions on again to re-energize the coil.

declaration of mitsubishi plc retentive timer in plc

open the Project Data List
double-click on Parameters
double-click on PLC Parameters
click on the Device tab
This will open the following dialog box. Enter the number of retentive timers Click on the End button when done.

mitsubishi plc Low-speed retentive timer

insert a output coil and address a Low-speed retentive timer: Retentive timer address and preset separated by a space for example "ST1 k50".

ST1 is retentive timer number.
K30 timer preset value.

mitsubishi plc high speed retentive timer

high speed retentive timer is same as low speed retentive timer except base. high speed retentive timer Accumulates time in increments of 10ms.

h indicate high speed timer
ST1 is retentive timer number.
K50 timer preset value.

how to reset mitsubishi plc Retentive timer

The accumulated value of a timer returns to 0 when the input conditions of the timer rung become false. This is not the case with retentive timers. To return a retentive timer accumulated value to 0 it is necessary to use the RST T# instruction. Retentive and non-retentive timers will lose their accumulated values at power down unless they have been declared battery-backed in PLC parameters. An RTS instruction must be used to turn off the contact and clear the current value after the retentive timer goes time out.

if the X4 is set to true low speed and high speed Retentive timer is reset accumulated value.

how to set mitsubishi timer preset value externally

if you want to change your value by OPC, HMI, SCADA or externally so always use Device D. following example shows how to set timer value externally

if input X5 is set to true value of D0 move to D1 and the D1 is a preset value of timer so it set the preset value of timer.
