PLC Fiddle Timers

In this video, we’re diving into the fundamentals of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) using the free online simulator, PLCFiddle.com. Whether you’re a student or a technician looking to brush up on ladder logic, understanding how timers function is a critical building block for automation. What we cover in this lesson: PLC Fiddle Overview: How to use this free tool for logic simulation. On-Delay Timers (TON): Breaking down the EN (Enable), TT (Timer Timing), and Q (Done) bits. Accumulated vs. Preset Values: How to set and monitor your timing logic. Logic Integration: Using an AND gate to control an output based on multiple timed events. About Me: I’m Jeffery Baker, a Robotics and Automated Manufacturing student at Lone Star College North Harris. My background is in aerospace welding, and I’m currently transitioning into the world of industrial automation and robotics.
