 Assign Block

It assigns the value of the input in the output

Input (I) Output (Q)

0 0
1 1
0 0

You can select the assign block from two options:

a) Select the assign block from the bit logic operations
b) From the above menu

 SR Block

It is just a SR flip flop where the Set and Reset blocks are integrated in the same block.
The dominant signal will be the reset signal.

S R Output

 RS Block

It is the same function like the SR block except in the case where both signals are 1, the
dominant is the set signal.

 Set Block

When the input signal value becomes 1 it sets the value signal of the output becomes 1,
and remains 1 until it is reset.

When the input signal becomes 1, the output signal value will be 0.
Assume that the output signal value is 1.

 On Delay
Timer

When there is a positive edge at the input signal, the timer output delays for a
predefined value then it will copy the remaining input signal.

The on delay timer can be selected from Timer operations folder (Sematic Timers) [SD
timer]

 Off Delay
Timer

When there is a positive edge at the input signal, the timer output will be one, after the
negative edge of the input signal; the output will remain one for a predefined signal.

The OFF delay timer can be selected from Timer operations folder (Simatic Timers) [SF
timer]

 Retentive ON
delay timer

It is the same as the on delay timer except that it needs a separate reset signal.

 Comparator

It is used to compare between 2 values; the first one will be the counter value which is
saved in memory word MWn, the second one is the integer value to be compared with.
Depending on the condition the output will be either zero or one.

Select the required condition for comparison and the type of the variable for
example “integer number” as shown below.

 Count Up
Counter

Count up is used as a counter which increments up by 1.

Count up can be selected from Counter Operations folder, Simatic Counters, S-CU

1 Name of the counter C1, C2, C3,……..

2 CU Input signal to be counted
3 R Reset signal
4 CV Counter value to be saved to
memory word “MWn”

24

For the signals S & PV, they are used in order to start counting from another number
rather than zero.

S (Enable Signal) In order to enable counting

from the required number
PV (Put value) C#n

 Count Down
Counter

The same concept as the count up except that it increment down by 1, the least value
for the counter is 0. So the counter value will need to be initiated by a number to start
counting down from it.

 Count up
down
Counter

(CU & CD)

The counter up down, is counting up and down at the same time depending on the
signals CU & CD.

 Extended
Pulse Timer

When there is a positive edge at the input signal, the output signal will be 1 for a
predefined time value.

The extended timer can be selected from Timer operations folder (Simatic Timers) [SE
timer]
