A retentive timer has the ability to retain the currently reached present value even after the drive contact has been removed. This means that when the drive contact is re-established a retentive timer will continue from where it last reached.

Because the retentive timer is not reset when the drive contact is removed, a forced reset must be used. The following diagram shows this in a graphical format.
