FA-91847 / PLC ladder logic scan cycles / Member archive

TON accumulator runs past its preset · case 02

After the delay completes the ACC value keeps growing on every true scan instead of holding at PRE.

Case contract

On-delay timer (TON) evaluated once per scan. scans is a list of [rung_in, elapsed_ms since the previous scan]. The accumulator starts on the false-to-true scan without crediting that scan's elapsed time, then adds each later true scan's elapsed time, clamped at preset. A false rung resets the accumulator. DN is rung_in and acc >= preset; TT is rung_in and not DN. Return [DN, TT, ACC] per scan.

Why this case matters

Ladder programs are executed as repeated scans; each defect here changes what a rung, timer, counter or data-table instruction reports on a particular scan, which is how commissioning and field faults are actually observed.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: interrupted timing restarts	`[[false, true, 0], [false, true, 40], [false, false, 0], [false, true, 0], [false, true, 40], [true, false, 80]]`	`[[false, true, 0], [false, true, 40], [false, false, 0], [false, true, 0], [false, true, 40], [true, false, 60]]`	Failed
