Using PLC Counter as a PLC Timer ‪@dineshdiwani‬

Typically, counters and timers are separate functions in a PLC, with timers controlling delays and counters tracking events. However, by utilizing the PLC’s built-in clock pulse, you can configure a counter to act like a timer. We’ll walk you through step-by-step on how to count clock pulses and create time delays without needing a dedicated timer instruction.

Using a counter as a timer is especially useful in scenarios where you want to simplify your program or when you’re running low on memory or available timer instructions. Whether you’re controlling motors, conveyor belts, or other machinery, this method can enhance your PLC program’s flexibility and efficiency.

By the end of this video, you’ll understand how to set the counter’s preset value based on time and how to control outputs based on the counter’s value. This is a handy technique that helps you get the most out of your PLC programming!

Watch now and learn how to make your PLC counters work harder for you!
