• Start and Stop Trigger: The most common method to trigger the process timer is using dry contact (unpowered) inputs. Some process timers can be triggered with ASCII Control codes.
  • Reset Time: The process timer should have a quick reset time to avoid delays between resets.
  • Audible Alerts: Does the process timer have the ability to play an audible alert if the operator does not finish the task in his/her allotted time?
  • Alarm Output: Does the process timer have the ability to trigger an alarm output based on a preset value?
  • PLC Interface: Can the process timer be interfaced with your PLC to easily change the startup time?
  • Input Power:  85-265V AC/DC is suitable for almost common in industrial environments for process timers all over the world.
  • Operating Environment: Process timers should be able to withstand harsh manufacturing environment.
  • Installation: Compact and lightweight process timers are preferred for the ease of installation.
  • MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure): LED process timers are typically rated up to 100,000 hours.
