B.2 Timer Commands
Timer commands (in a Process block) are used to start, stop, and reset Timers. (For
more information on defining Timers in Logic memory, see page 117.)
B.2.1 Timer Start and Timer Stop
These commands can be selected from the Timer commands list.
When used in a Flow Chart, the Timer Start and Timer Stop commands start and
stop a specified Timer.
Parameters for these commands include:
 Timer – The Timer to be started or stopped by the command.
To configure the Timer parameter, click the
button to open a standard
Build Timer ID dialog.
NOTE: If the Timer was previously stopped, the Timer Start command resumes the
Timer from its last value. To start the Timer from 0, it must first be reset using the
Timer Reset command.
B.2.2 Timer Reset
This command can be selected from the Timer commands list.
