Program Plan Intro

Timer:

  • Timer is mainly used to keep an output ON for a specific length of time.
  • It provides a preset delay to the control actions.
  • In a timer, the output will be energized when the preset value becomes equal to the accumulated value.
  • Three different types of timers include a Delay-OFF, a Delay-ON, and a Delay-ON-Retentive timer.

Timer ON Delay (TON):

  • TON refers to an on-delay timer.
  • The on-delay timer is the most commonly used timer.
  • TON counts the time-based intervals as soon as the instruction becomes true.
  • Here, the output changes its state from low to high when the timer provides some time delay (instruction goes from OFF to ON state).

Draw a circuit to implement a switching network with two data inputs (A and B), two data outputs (C and D), and a control input (S). If S=1, the network is in pass-through mode: C=A and D=B. If S=0, the network is in crossing mode: C=B, and D=A. Use the most reasonable combinational building blocks or gates. Label the inputs and outputs.
Create a program in SFC for the following: A three way switch where the left position operates “Indicator 1”, right position operates “Indicator 2” and the middle position where both the indicators are OFF.
Write a vhdl program that when x = 1, a timer will delay for 10 seconds and trigger y. (Don't use 'wait' function).
