Breaking Conventional PLC Timing Experiments: Cycle Time Counting vs Cycle Interrupts, Guess Which Method Has Higher Accuracy?

Introduction INTRODUCTION In industrial automation programming, timers are one of the most commonly used components in control logic. While standard timers like TON and TOF can meet most scenarios, are there more flexible implementations for situations that require special timing accuracy or want to break free from “relying on the system’s default timer”? A user … Read more
