Tip031B TOPIC: How to Create Off-Delay Timers, Pulse Timers, and Extended Pulse Timers VERSION: 4.0 DATE: 1/99 ***SPECIAL HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS*** None. ***DISCLAIMER*** These SIMATIC S7-200 Application Tips are provided free of charge to give users of the S7-200 examples of programming techniques available to accomplish certain tasks in various applications. These Tips do not purport to cover all details or variations in equipment, nor do they provide for every possible contingency. Your application may be different from those contemplated herein. It is your responsibility to use the SIMATIC S7-200 properly in your application. These Tips do not relieve you of the responsibility to use sound practices in application, installation, operation and maintenance.

After the Help file starts, use the Table of Contents or the Help Topics Index to select the file associated with this tip. ***OVERVIEW*** This program example shows how to use the integrated On-Delay Timers to generate an off-delay timer, a pulse timer, or an extended pulse timer. For the off-delay timer, the output signal at Q0.0 stays set for a specified time (in this case, 5 s) after the input signal at I0.0 goes off. The pulse signal at Q0.1 is on for a specified time after the input signal at I0.1 is set. If input I0.1 is reset before the pulse timer has run out, the pulse signal at output Q0.1 is also reset. The extended pulse timer always leaves the output signal at Q0.2 active for the preset time once the input I0.2 has been set, even if the input is reset during that time. ***PROGRAM DESCRIPTION*** The program below is subdivided into three independent parts, which operate off-delay, pulse, and extended pulse timers separately. **OFF-DELAY*** When input I0.0 is switched on, output Q0.0 is set. If input I0.0 is reset, timer T33 starts with a run time of 5 s. As long as

the timer is running (that is, the timer bit is not set) memory bit M0.0 remains set, and with that, output Q0.0. After the preset time of 5 s has expired, the timer bit T33 (which is now set) resets memory bit M0.0 and output Q0.0. ***PULSE*** When input I0.1 is switched on, output Q0.1 is set. This sets memory bit M0.1 which starts timer T34. After the preset timer of 5 s has expired or input I0.1 is reset, output Q0.1 is reset. ***EXTENDED PULSE*** When input I0.2 is switched on, output Q0.2 is set. This sets memory bit M0.2 which starts timer T35. After the preset time of 5 s has expired, output Q0.2 is reset.
