Timer [T]

Timers add and count clock pulses of 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms, etc. inside the PLC. When the counted value reaches a
specified set value, the output contact of the timer turns on.
A set value can be directly specified by a constant (K) in the program memory, or indirectly specified by the contents of
a data register (D).

Latched type
When the drive input X000 of the timer coil T200 turns ON, the current
value counter for T200 adds and counts clock pulses of 10 ms. When
the counted value becomes equivalent to the set value K123, the
output contact of the timer turns on.
In other words, the output contact turns on 1.23 seconds after the coil
is driven.
When the drive input X000 turns OFF or when the power is turned off
the timer is reset and the output contact returns.
