In this video, you will learn the working principle of timer instructions in PLC. Here we understand the generate on delay timer in PLC programming.
The generate on-delay timer is called as TON instruction in Siemens Tia Portal.
You can use the "Generate on-delay" instruction to delay the setting of the Q output by the programmed time PT.
The programmed time PT begins when the instruction starts.
When the time PT has elapsed, the output Q has the signal state "1". Output Q remains set as long as the start input is still "1".
