Productivity 1000 Series PLC Timer Instructions

Just about every programmable logic controller (PLC) program will include timer instruction. The Productivity 1000 Series PLC has several different timer instructions for your program. We discussed the timed coil (TMC) and flasher coil (FLS) last time as part of the contacts and coil discussion. (Contact and Coil Instructions – Video) We will now look at using the Simple Timer (STMR) and the Timer (TMR) instructions in the productivity suite software. Let’s get started. More information can be obtained on our website. This includes all of the links mentioned in this video. https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-timer-instructions 00:00 Productivity 1000 Series PLC Timer Instructions 00:43 Hardware 01:05 Simple Timer (STMR) On Delay Timer - Timing Chart 03:12 Off Delay Timer - Simple Timer 04:56 Timer (TMR) – Productivity Previously in this Productivity 1000 Series PLC, we looked at the following: System Hardware https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-system-hardware System Hardware Video https://youtu.be/epzgojtd57U Installing the Software https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-installing-the-software Installing the Software Video https://youtu.be/gh5X7_EeCdg Establishing Communication https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-establishing-communication Establishing Communication Video https://youtu.be/HWtN189JLgI First Program https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-first-program First Program Video https://youtu.be/txr_wfd7y2w Documenting the Program https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-documenting-the-program Documenting the Program Video https://youtu.be/WhYTCMRSzk8 Monitoring and Testing the Program https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-monitoring-and-testing-the-program Monitoring and Testing the Program Video https://youtu.be/o9gdrrEMexw Online Editing and Debug Mode https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-online-editing-and-debug-mode Online Editing and Debug Mode Video https://youtu.be/D-sDKMnw1gQ Numbering Systems and Tag Database https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-numbering-systems-and-tag-database Numbering Systems and Tag Database Video https://youtu.be/s-TAWomBeIs Contact and Coil Instructions https://accautomation.ca/productivity-1000-series-plc-contact-and-coil-instructions Contact and Coil Instructions Video https://youtu.be/xMP9EEVlm1k There are several reasons why we are using the Productivity 1000 Series Controller. Here are just a few. - 50MB user memory - Can handle very complex applications easily. - 4 built-in communication ports – Easy connectivity to your network. - Data logging up to 32 GB on a microSD card - Add up to 8 IP modules to communicate to your field sensors. This will give you a total of 128 discrete IO points or 32 analog IO channels. - Free Software and 30 days of free training with every CPU from Automation Direct. - Interactive PLC Configuration Tool - Tag Names - Auto-discovery IO – Physical I/O tags will be generated based on each module’s position in the base. - I/O Modules have QR codes under the wiring cover. This can be scanned so you can have the latest specifications/wiring diagrams for the module. - Limitless PID – Autotuning – Individual or Cascade Mode - etc - Web Server and Mobile Access - Advanced Software instruction set The Productivity 1000 series of programmable logic controllers currently has all of these features built into the P1-540 CPU. This CPU (Central Processing Unit) is also known as MPU (Multi-Processing Units) because of the communication capabilities. https://www.accautomation.ca
