    Hello all, I am sure this is brought up all the time. Looking for an RTO type of FB in CODESYS. Anyone have any luck porting this functionality over from AB? Please advice

    I found something for you here

    This is not my code, this is code from the link

    FUNCTION_BLOCK RTO
 VAR_INPUT
        Run : BOOL; 
        Reset : BOOL; 
 END_VAR
 VAR RETAIN
        Running : BOOL;
        StartTime : TIME;
 END_VAR
 VAR
         ResetONS : R_TRIG; 
 END_VAR
 VAR_OUTPUT RETAIN
          ET : TIME;
 END_VAR

         IF RUN AND NOT Running THEN
         StartTime := TIME();
         Running := TRUE;
    END_IF
    IF NOT RUN AND NOT Running THEN
         StartTime := TIME();
    END_IF
     ResetONS(clk := Reset); 
    IF ResetONS.Q THEN
         Running := FALSE;
         StartTime := TIME();
    END_IF
    ET := TIME()-StartTime;

      Ok this is a good start. Doesn't have the "Preset Time" input and doesn't have the Done output bit.

        would you be so kind and post a definition or a link to a definition of this RTO timer FB? That would most helpfull, thank you in advance. Maybe OSCAT has this type of timer allready implemented, but without your definition It wll be more difficult to help.

          Hello aliazzz Please see the attached timing diagram for RTO in AB. I have included my implementation as well in this forum. Also, please let me know if it can be improved etc.

    After looking all over the Internet and in this fourm I decided to take a stab at it. I am sharing the first implementation of the CODESYS RTO block.

FUNCTION_BLOCK RTO
VAR_INPUT
    IN: BOOL;    //INPUT Signal
    RST : BOOL; // RESET Signal
    PT: TIME; //PRESET Time
 END_VAR
 VAR
    StartTime : TIME;
    prevET: TIME;
 END_VAR
 VAR
    INOn: R_TRIG;
END_VAR
VAR_OUTPUT  //RETAIN
    ET : TIME; //ELAPSED Time
END_VAR
VAR_OUTPUT
    Q: BOOL; // OUTPUT Bit
END_VAR

    INOn(CLK:= IN);
IF INOn.Q THEN
    StartTime:= TIME(); //On Rising Edge of IN store this moment in Time() as StartTime for the accumulation
END_IF

IF IN THEN
    ET := TIME()-StartTime + prevET; // Calculate Elapsed Time
ELSE
    prevET:= ET; // When IN goes low then store the ET and pause accumulating
END_IF

IF ET >= PT THEN
    ET := PT;
    Q:=TRUE;
ELSE
    Q:= FALSE;      
END_IF

IF RST THEN // Reset everything back to Initial state including any Rising/Falling edge triggers
    INOn(CLK:=FALSE); 
    ET:=T#0MS;
    prevET:=T#0MS;
    Q:=FALSE;
END_IF

    Usage

    PROGRAM Main
VAR PERSISTENT
    RTO_0: RTO;
END_VAR

    Based on the attached timing diagram. That's all the documentation I had.

      Hi,

      A tip: you can also submit your code in the snippets corner as then all submitted code is easy to browse/find/search;
      https://forge.codesys.com/tol/iec-snippets/snippets/

      Plus, offcourse kudoes for the effort, it looks very complete! 😉
