PLC Timers & Counter – Practical Programming with Simulation

Learn by Doing how timers and counters work by building real control logic in a PLC simulator.

What you’ll learn
✓ Hands-On Problem Solving – Troubleshoot and design automation systems
✓ Real-World Applications – Traffic lights, manufacturing, inventory control
✓ PLC Circuit Design – Read and build automation logic from scratch
✓ Timers – TON, TOF, TP, RTO and when to use each
✓ Counters – CTU, CTD, CTUD and how they track events
✓ Cascaded Sequences – Chain timers for multi-stage automation
✓ Timer + Counter Combinations – Use them together in real systems

Requirements
● Mobile or Laptop with internet connection
● No experience needed its for freshers

Description
100% Practical. 0% Theory. Learn by Doing.

This is not your typical PLC course.

No lengthy lectures.

No abstract theory.

No boring slides.

Instead, you will learn industrial automation by actually using real PLC logic in interactive, hands-on labs.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• Timers: TON (On-Delay), TOF (Off-Delay), TP (Pulse), and RTO (Retentive On-Delay)

• Counters: CTU (Count Up), CTD (Count Down), and CTUD (Up/Down)

• Cascaded sequences for multi-stage automated processes

• Real-time combinations of timers and counters

• Traffic light control as a real-world automation example

• PLC logic design using an interactive sandbox

• Industrial applications used in real factories

HOW IT WORKS

Each lab includes clear, step-by-step guidance that explains

What the component does

How to operate it

How to run real-time experiments

How to complete hands-on challenges

You see results instantly.

No waiting.

No theory lectures interrupting your flow.

Just action, feedback, and learning.

INTERACTIVE LABS INCLUDE

• TON on-delay timer
