Refresh Methods for Timer/Counter PV

Overview

There are two PV refresh methods for instructions related to timer/counters, “BCD” and “BINARY”.
The PLC Setup for all of the timer/counter-related instructions. The refresh method is valid also when
setting an SV indirectly (i.e., using the contents of memory word). (That is, the contents of the
addressed word is taken as either BCD or binary data according to the refresh method that is set.)

Applicable Instructions

Setting method for PV refresh

BCD and binary PV refreshing can both be used in the same project. The setting of the PV refresh
method in the PLC Setup will be ignored.

Basic Timer Specifications

Method Description Setting range Set value
BCD Sets the timer set value in BCD. 0~9.999 #0000~9999
Binary Sets the timer set value in BINARY. 0~65.535 &0~65535 or #0000~FFFF
