Functions of auxiliary relays
Like an output relay Y, an auxiliary relay M has an output coil and contacts a and b, and the number
of times they can be used in a program is unrestricted. Users can use an auxiliary relay M to
configure the control circuit, but cannot use it to directly drive an external load. Auxiliary relays have
the following two types of characteristics:
Ordinary auxiliary relays: Ordinary auxiliary relays will all revert to the Off state if a power outage
occurs while the PLC is running, and will remain in the Off state if power is again
turned down.
Special purpose auxiliary relays: Each special purpose auxiliary relay has its own specific use. Do not
use any undefined special purpose auxiliary relays.
Timer functions
Timers take 100 ms as their timing units. When the timing method is an upper time limit, when the
current timer value = set value, power will be sent to the output coil. Timer setting values consist of
decimal K values, and the data register D can also serve as a setting value.
Actual timer setting time = timing units * set value

Counter functions
When a counter's counting pulse input signal goes Off→On, if the counter's current value is equal to
the set value, the output coil will come On. The setting value will be a decimal K values, and the data
register D can also serve as a setting value.
16-bit counter C0–C79:
16-bit counter setting range: K0–K32,767. (when K0 and K1 are identical, the output contact

will immediately be On during the first count.)
The current counter value will be cleared from an ordinary counter when power is shut off to the

PLC.
If the MOV command or WPLSoft is used to transmit a value greater than the set value to the

C0 current value register, when the next X1 goes from Off→On, the C0 counter contact will
change to On, and the current value will change to the set value.
A counter's setting value may be directly set using a constant K or indirectly set using the value

in register D (not including special data registers D1000–D1199 or D2000–D2799).
If the set value employs a constant K, it may only be a positive number; the set value may be

either a positive or a negative number if the value in data register D is used. The current
counter value will change from 32,767 to -32,768 as the count continues to accumulate.

When the count reaches the set value, the contact comes On and stays On
The current value reverts to 0 when an RST command is executed, and the
