GX Works 3 Timer (TON)

[nurgordeev]

Hello, please help me deal with this problem. Mitsubishi GX Works 3. I can not understand why the TON function block does not work correctly. I need to set the timer in minutes, but if I set 55 minutes, the timer doesn't start and an error appears. How do I make a timer to avoid this? Going through the values, I found out that this happens with the numbers 55-110, although at times large numbers work adequately.

t_0 - DINT
flushing - TON
applyNewTime - Bit

You have to change the resolution of the Long timer in the PLC parameters. It is set to 0.001 ms by default.

just change it to 1 sec and you can use the TON to 32767 sec  (9 hrs .....)

Can't find this setting in GX Works 3. Where is it set?

CPU paramters => operational settings

Or do you have an FX5?

Just use multiple TONS, use regular timer/counters or use the special SM412 etc devices

We have a function block that increments a DINT off the one second timing flag - counts to over 60 years. Do it in ST and it will copy and paste across all PLC's (one of the best features of ST in my opinion).
