Two timers can be set to a value by assigning a number to the respective variable. A program can then read the variable and determine the time passed since the timer was set. Timers can be used to imitate dwell cycles, determine part-to-part time or wherever time-dependent behavior is desired.
- #3001 Millisecond Timer - The millisecond timer represents the system time after power on in number of milliseconds. The whole number returned after accessing #3001 represents the number of milliseconds.
- #3002 Hour Timer - The hour timer is similar to the millisecond timer except that the number returned after accessing#3002 is in hours. The hour and millisecond timers are independent of each other and can be set separately.
