Program Plan Intro

Timer: Timer can perform the operations that are given below:

  • Turning on and off the outputs after the completion of time delay.
  • Turning on or off the output for a specific time.
  • Determining the time when an output is in “on” or “off” condition.

Counter:

  • It is similar to the timer concept.
  • It is used to count the changes that are produced by the state of an outside trigger signal.
  • It is a programmable logic controller (PLC) instruction that either counts up or counts down an integer value when produced by the change of a bit from “0” to “1” or “false” to “true”.
  • In PLC, counter contains three types.
    • Up counters.
    • Down counters.
    • Up/Down counters.
