[?]: How can I program a Timer in ST

[Schtiel]

I did not work with OMRON, but for Modicon it is something like that (for OMRON it should be the same):

(* Declaration *)

VAR
My_Timer : TON;
END_VAR

(* Invocation *)

My_Timer (IN := timer_input,
PT := t#5s);

(* Assign outputs *)

timer_output := My_Timer.Q;

Code: Select all

FUNCTION_BLOCK FB2
VAR
CurrTime : S5time;
BiVal : word;
ActFlag : bool;
END_VAR
BEGIN
CurrTime :=S_ODT (T_NO:= T10, S:=TRUE, TV:=T#1s, R:=FALSE,
BI:=biVal,Q:=actFlag);
END_FUNCTION_BLOCK

but why in st ???

st is the future

hmmm... that's a very doubtful statement...

schtiel right answer...
st is good for complex program codes but not for a timer or so...
