Numbers in LDmicro are signed sixteen bit integers, so the maximum representable value is 32767. So the longest possible delay with a TON or TOF timer is 32767 cycle times, which for a typical 10 ms cycle time is about five minutes.
To delay for longer, you can use a timer to make an internal relay oscillate at some specified frequency, for example once every second. You can then clock a counter with the internal relay. See the attachment for an example.
