I am fairly new to programming - can someone let me know as to how to insert a timer into a programme ( using the above mentioned software) - any help would be appreciated.
 
click on the coil icon enter the timer # and preset (K is for constant) example T1 K10 Depending on plc timers are 100msec, 10 msec and some have a 1msec timers check the manual for timer ranges. You can also us a data register as a preset, example T2 D25
 
Code:
   X0                        K 10
---| |-----------------------(T1)
   T1 
---| |----------

Timer must be a coil and entered like this T1 K10

N/O T1 controls whatever you want after X0 has been on for 1 sec
 
or use F7 to insert coil not F8

T1 K10 for constants
T1 D3 for data word (Memory area)

All the different types of FX's are different in regard to their timebase so check each manual carefully, I've been caught out before...........

Thanks to all who replied - it helped. Going on from this, where can I find out what the constants are? For example - I have a program for a FX1N showing a timer T0 K4, only I do not have a manual for this PLC - how do I determine if K4 = 0.4, 4.0 or 40secs?
Also how do I get an 'off delay timer' and a 'one shot timer'.

Apart from this forum ( which is proving to be quite useful)can anyone advise as to wherelse I can get this type of info/literature from, relating to Mits. plc's?

Hi Dgwill

There are no designated off delay timers with the Mitsubishi Fx range. So you have to make your own. Here are a few examples.

-| x0/ |------------------------( T0 K50 )

-| X0 |-----------!-----------------( Y1 )
-| Y1 |--| T0/|---!

--------------------------------------END

-| X0 |--------------------!-------( M1 )
!---[ RST T0 ]

-| M1 |------------------!---------( T0 K100 )
-| M2 |--| T0/ |---------!---------( M2 )

--------------------------------------END

-| X0 |-----!----| T1/ |----------------( M4 )
-| M4 |-----!----| X0/ |----------------( T1 K70 )

----------------------------------------------END

Regards

here is some example picture

Following the answer above..
100 ms Timer make to second = K /10
10 ms Timer make to second = K /100
1 ms Timer make to second = K /1000
I post some picture with GX Dev...Version 8
but familiar with version 5 too.
