1. Rung 0000 :- Sequen
FOLLOW

Latching is done using output coil to stay ON even Input is turned off.
Normally closed timer done bit is used to turn off the output once timer
accumulator value reach preset and that make TON to act as TOFF.

2. Rung 0001 :- Like

since the Start Input is used as normally closed input, Output Coil is
attached as interlocking, so that it won’t turn on timer at the beginning
of the program. CATEGO
