Title: Timer Unit for E10+ Rly
Post by: r42014 on March 08, 2005, 12:19:48 PM

Hi ,

What's the timer's unit equivalent seconds? 1 = 0.1 second?
I am running a basic logic with a timer and I can't seem to figure it out. With the timer value being 9999 (max), I measured with a stop watch to see how fast the timer reaches value 0. It took about 9 minues and 17 seconds approximately. FYI. I am running this without E10+ RLY yet (it is on its way of delivery).

Apologize if this is too basic. I've been trying to teach myself this week about PLC. Many thanks in advance!

Yes, the time base is 0.1 second, so a preset value of 1234 means time out in 123.4 seconds.

The simulator time base is not very accurate (it is at the mercy of how much time Windows will allocate to the simulator thread  :)). Its mean purpose is just to provide a simulated experience so it is not going to be exactly as measured on the stop watch. The actual time delay in the actual PLC is much more precise.
