  • Page 18 Precautions for Handling PLC timer setting The PLC timer setting should not be at minimum set value. If "1" is set, some PLCs turn ON somewhere between 0 and 100ms with a 100ms timer, or between 0 and 10ms with a 10ms timer. Consequently, the process which will be performed is the same as when a timer is not set, which may lead to failures such as failing to position to a specified position No.
