Example
Figure 2-40 shows a Function Block Diagram using an ONDT function block.
PLC Ladder Logic
The application requirement is to turn on a pump, a compressor, etc. for
a fixed period of time - a common use for timers. This application, the
turn on of Pump2 for 300 sec., requires two additional rungs of ladder
logic. After SOL4 is turned ON, SOL 5 (Pump 2) is also turned ON
since CR1 (NC) is OFF (logic true). When ON Delay Timer 2 times out
after 300 sec., the CR1 coil is turned ON which turns off SOL 5.
UMC 800 Logic
In UMC logic, the output of ONDT4 timer activates the
ONDT1 timer directly and is also an input for a 2-IN AND
gate, whose output activates the DO for SOL5. After ONDT1
times for 300 sec., its output turns ON, disabling the AND
gate output which de-energizes the DO. Three (3) additional
function blocks are used.

Parameter Description
Delay Time - specifies the

logic output will occur after an
OFF to ON transition of the
RUN input.
