When used in a Flow Chart, the Timer Reset command resets the specified Timer
to 0 msecs.
Parameters for this command include:
 Timer – The Timer to be reset by the command.

B.2.3 Timer Preset
This command can be selected from the Timer commands list.
When used in a Flow Chart, the Timer Preset command assigns a new Preset value
to a specified Timer. This value overwrites whatever Preset was set when the
Timer was originally defined in Logic Memory, and it is retained until the
program is restarted or until the Preset is overwritten again by another Timer
Preset command.
Parameters for this command include:
 Timer – The Timer for which the Preset is to be defined.
To configure the Timer parameter, click the
button to open a standard
Build Timer ID dialog.
 Preset Value – The number of specified time units in the Preset. (Preset
Value is combined with Units below to get the actual Preset. For example,
3 Seconds or 3000 Milliseconds.)
The value of Preset Value may be an Input/Memory/Output tag, a literal
numeric value, or some other logical expression that is evaluated every
time the block is executed.
To configure the Preset Value parameter, click the
button to open a
Build Preset Value dialog.
 Units – The time units in which the Preset Value above is counted.
Available units include Milliseconds, Seconds, and Minutes.
