5.2.8 Flags (S)
You can easily use the flags in industrial automation to set a procedure. It is the most basic device in ladder diagram
programming.
There are 2048 flags, (S0–S2047). Every flag is like an output relay in that it has an output coil, contact A, and contact B.
You can use a flag several times in a program. There are two kinds of flags.
A. General-purpose flags
When the power is OFF during execution, all the device states are cleared to OFF. When the power is turned back
ON, the device states are kept as OFF.
B. Latch-purpose flags
When the power is OFF during execution, all the device states are remembered. When the power is turned back
ON, the devices states are restored as they are before the power interruption.
5.2.9 Timers (T)
This topic describes the timers available in ISPSoft. Refer to the ISPSoft User Manual for more information on timers.
 100 millisecond timer: The timer specified by the TMR instruction takes 100 milliseconds as the timing unit.
 10 millisecond timer: The timer specified by the TMR instruction takes 10 milliseconds as the timing unit.
 1 millisecond timer: The timer specified by the TMRH instruction takes 1 millisecond as the timing unit.
 The accumulative timers are ST0–ST511. If you want to use the device-monitoring function, these timers can
monitor T0–T511.
 If you use the same timer repeatedly in a program, including in different TMR, TMRM and TMRH instructions, the
timer setting value is the one that the timer matches first.
 If you use the same timer repeatedly in a program, the timer is OFF when one of the conditional contacts is OFF.
 If you use the same timer in a program as the timer for a subroutine’s exclusive use and an accumulative timer in the
program, it is OFF when one of the conditional contacts is OFF.
 When the timer switches from ON to OFF and the conditional contact is ON, the timer is reset and counts again but
the ST timer will not be reset.
 When the TMR instruction is executed, the specified timer coil is ON and the timer begins to count. When the value
of the timer matches the timer setting value (value of the timer ≧ setting value), the state of the contact is ON.
A. General-purpose timers
When the TMR instruction is executed, the general-purpose timer begins to count. When the value of the timer
matches the timer setting value, the output coil is ON.
• When M0=ON and the timer takes 100 ms as the timing unit, the output coil T0 is ON when the value of the
timer = timer setting value100.
• When M0=OFF, the value of the timer is 0 and the output coil T0 is OFF.
