STEP 5 Operations
Starting a Timer
In the PLC, timers run asynchronously to program scanning. The time that has been set can run out
during a program scanning cycle. It is evaluated by the next time scan. In the worst case, an entire
program scanning cycle can go by before this evaluation. Consequently, timers should not
activate themselves.

Except for "Reset timer," all timer operations are started only on an edge of the RLO. (The RLO
alternates between "0" and "1".)
After being started, the loaded time is decremented in units corresponding to the time base until
it reaches zero.
If there is an edge change while the timer is running, the timer is reset to its initial value and
restarted.
The signal state of a timer can be interrogated with boolean logic operations.
