 EXPERIMENT.NO.05
Timer OFF and RTO
Objective:
 To get familiar with the concept of Timers.
 Get to know about the implementation of Timers on the software.

Apparatus:
 PLC Allen Bradley.
 LogixPro software.

Introduction:
TOFF:
It is also known as an ‘Off-Delay Timer’.
A off-delay (TOF) timer is a PLC programming instruction which use to switch off the output or
system after a certain amount of time.

In PLC programming, when the off-delay timer is energized , it immediately turns ‘on’ its
output. The output will be ‘on’ till it reaches the setting time.
When it reaches preset time, the output turns ‘off’. Due to the turning ‘off’ condition, the timer is
de-energized .

Its done pin is active when the acc is 0 to the time on which timer is set to.TT pin is on when the
timer is working. Enable is high only before timer’s working.

RTO:

This Timer is just like Timer ON ,the only difference is that in RTO’s when we give high input
to the timer it starts with accum =0 .Now if we stop the timer midway and start it again the timer
will start from the exact position where it stopped meaning it will not reset.if we wish to reset the
timer we’ll use a reset ouput.
 Lab Tasks:

Lab Task No.1:

Write ladder program for LED to glow for 10 secs when the High time of the pulse at the input is
equal to 10 sec (Hint: Use RTO).

In this task we used RTO . The LED will turn on after 10 seconds for 10 seconds.
Lab Task No.2:

Let's say we have in the field an emergency stop. Once the E-Stop is pressed we want the siren to
go on for 5 seconds.

Input was set before timer .According to the timer’s Preset and Time Base i.e

Timer’s On Time = Time Base x Preset = 0.1 x 50 = 5 seconds

the timer will start for 5 seconds by the stop button which will results in the ON of the TT pin
which will turn on the SIREN.
Lab Task No.3:

Let’s say we have in the field an emergency stop (push button). Once the emergency stop
is pressed we want the siren to go on after 5 sec for 5 sec.

In this task we will turn on the First TOFF by XIO

which will start the timer for 5 seconds . After the 10
seconds done pin will turn off which will turn on the
TOFF 2 by XIO switch. And then the TT of the second
TOFF will turn on the siren for 5 seconds.

Lab Task No.4:

Write a program that will turn on a flashing light for the first 15 seconds after a Push button is
turned on. The light should flash for half a second on and half a second off.

a) Implement using Timer OFF

b) Implement using Timer ON

Part:a

In this task the LED will Blink for 15 seconds with

50% duty cycle. We used 3 TOFF .First timer was
given a manual input . Secondly we made a feedback
system which will cause blinking.
Part B:

In this task the LED will Blink for 15 seconds with 50% duty
cycle. We used 3 TON .First timer was given a manual input .

Conclusions:

This Lab was about Timer OFF and RTO . RTO works same as Timer ON expect
for the reset thing.Time OFF is opposite from Timer ON since it operates on 0
logic.Its done ( DN ) pin is acts as TT. Moreover,we performed certain tasks
inorder to have better understanding of lab.
