Panel Mounted Digital Timers for Industrial Timing and Process Control
ATC Diversified Electronics offers a broad range of panel mounted digital timers for industrial automation, OEM machinery, process control, material handling, packaging, and other applications requiring accurate and configurable timing. Available products range from straightforward digital reset timers to multifunction timer/counters with repeat-cycle operation, memory, multiple setpoints, and programmable timing modes.
ATC panel timers are available in multiple formats, including 72 mm, 1/16 DIN, and 1/4 DIN configurations. Depending on the model, timing ranges extend from milliseconds through hours, with selectable ON-delay, OFF-delay, interval, repeat-cycle, cyclic, and other operating modes.
Digital displays provide clear indication of preset, elapsed, or remaining time, while selected models add keypad programming, keypad lockout, cycle-progress indication, data-retention memory, counting functions, programmable outputs, and front-panel or remote reset capability.
Why Choose ATC Panel Mounted Digital Timers?
Wide Timing Ranges: ATC digital timers cover timing requirements ranging from millisecond-level control to extended timing periods measured in hours.
Multiple Timing Functions: Depending on the selected model, available modes include ON-delay, OFF-delay, interval, cyclic, repeat-cycle, reverse-start delay, and other programmable timing sequences.
Clear Digital Displays: LED, LCD, or fluorescent displays provide direct indication of time values, setpoints, cycle progress, or count information depending on the product.
Timer and Counter Options: Selected products, including the 385A, 385AR, and 653 Series, combine industrial timing and counting functions within a single control.
Data-Retention Memory: Selected ATC timers use EEPROM or battery-backed memory to retain programmed values, cycle data, or timing information when power is removed.
Panel-Mount Flexibility: Available 72 mm, 1/16 DIN, 1/4 DIN, and plug-in panel configurations provide options for both new equipment and replacement installations.
Electromechanical Timer Replacement: Selected models are specifically designed to replace older electromechanical timers while maintaining compatible footprints or plug-in mounting arrangements.
Digital Timer, Timer/Counter and Multifunction Options
The 365C Long-Ranger Computing Timer provides digital timing from 0.01 second to 999 hours with selectable time-up or time-down display operation and two heavy-duty relay outputs.
The 385A and 385AR Timer/Counters combine timing and counting functions for applications requiring repeat cycles, presets, batch counting, production counts, or machine-control sequences.
The 651, 652, 653, and 655 Series provide microprocessor-based timing in traditional panel and plug-in formats. The 652 and 653 add extensive multifunction operation, including single-cycle and repeat-cycle timing modes, while the 653 can operate as either a timer or counter.
For compact control panels, the 425AR Digital Timer provides seven timing functions, nine timing ranges, dual setpoints, a dual LED display, remote reset, and a universal 90-270 VAC/DC operating supply in a 1/16 DIN housing.
Panel Mounted Digital Timer Applications
ATC panel mounted digital timers are used in applications including packaging equipment, conveyors, material handling, plastics processing, motors and pumps, industrial hoists, actuators, food and beverage equipment, machinery sequencing, production processes, and other systems requiring precise timed or counted control.
Find the Right Panel Mounted Digital Timer
Selecting the right industrial digital timer depends on the required timing functions, minimum and maximum time range, display type, supply voltage, output configuration, setpoints, memory requirements, counting capability, panel cutout, mounting format, reset method, and application sequence.
Explore the ATC panel mounted digital timers above to compare 72 mm, 1/16 DIN, 1/4 DIN, timer/counter, memory, multifunction, and replacement configurations. ATC Diversified Electronics can also assist with selecting a digital timer for new OEM equipment or replacement of an existing industrial timer.
Panel Mounted Digital Timer FAQs
What is a panel mounted digital timer?
A panel mounted digital timer is an electronic timing control installed in or through an equipment or control-panel face. It provides a digital indication of timing information and controls one or more electrical outputs according to a selected timing function.
What timing functions are available in ATC panel mounted digital timers?
Available functions vary by model and include ON-delay, OFF-delay, interval, repeat-cycle, cyclic timing, reverse-start delay, and other programmable single-cycle or repeating timing modes.
What timing ranges are available?
ATC panel mounted digital timers cover a wide range of timing requirements. Selected models can time from as little as one millisecond, while other models provide extended timing ranges reaching hundreds of hours.
What is the difference between a digital timer and a timer/counter?
A digital timer controls outputs according to elapsed or remaining time. A timer/counter can also respond to external pulses or events and control outputs according to a programmed count. Selected ATC products can operate in either timing or counting modes.
Which ATC panel timers also function as counters?
The ATC collection includes timer/counter products such as the 385A, 385AR, and 653 Series. Their counting features vary by model and can include presets, batch counting, repeat cycles, input scaling, or high-speed count inputs.
What is a multifunction digital timer?
A multifunction digital timer provides several selectable timing modes in a single device. For example, the ATC 652 Series provides six single-cycle and eight repeat-cycle timing modes across five timing ranges.
What is the ATC 365C Long-Ranger Computing Timer?
The 365C is a microprocessor-based digital timer with an adjustable range from 0.01 second to 999 hours. It provides selectable time-up or time-down display operation and two heavy-duty DPDT relay outputs for instantaneous, interval, or delayed control.
What features does the ATC 425AR Digital Timer provide?
The 425AR provides a dual LED display, two setpoints, seven timing functions, nine timing ranges, front-panel and remote reset, a built-in 12 VDC sensor supply, and a 90-270 VAC/DC operating range in a compact 1/16 DIN housing.
What is the ATC 653 Timer/Counter?
The 653 is a microprocessor-based control that can operate as either a timer or counter. It provides five timing ranges, three count speeds, multiple single-cycle and repeat-cycle modes, programmable outputs, cycle counting, and data-retention memory on selected models.
Do ATC digital timers retain settings when power is removed?
Selected models do. Depending on the timer, ATC uses EEPROM or battery-backed memory to retain programmed values or other operating information after power is removed. Memory capability should be confirmed for the specific model.
Can ATC digital timers replace older electromechanical timers?
Yes. Selected ATC digital timers are designed specifically for replacement applications. The 651 and 655 Series can replace many round-case electromechanical timers, and the 655 Series is recommended by ATC as a current replacement for the 305E in applicable installations.
What is the difference between the 651, 652, 653, and 655 Series?
The 651 provides four timing modes across five ranges. The 652 adds extensive single-cycle and repeat-cycle timing functions. The 653 can operate as both a timer and counter. The 655 focuses on ON-delay and reverse-start-delay operation and is designed as a digital replacement for many electromechanical timer installations.
What applications use panel mounted digital timers?
Applications include packaging, conveyor systems, material handling, plastics processing, industrial machinery, pumps, motors, electric actuators, production lines, food and beverage equipment, and other processes requiring accurate timing, cycling, sequencing, or counting.
How do I choose the right panel mounted digital timer?
Consider the required timing modes, timing range, supply voltage, relay outputs, display type, panel size, setpoints, counting requirements, memory, reset method, control inputs, environmental requirements, and whether the timer must replace an existing device.
