TIME PROG (DAILY, WEEKLY AND YEARLY TIME PROGRAMMER)

This function, which does not have an input, is used to switch the OUTPUT from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF when the controller clock reaches a given moment in time which corresponds to one of the settings made in the event function parameters. This function can be used to define a maximum of 50 events.

The events, i.e. the moments at which the output changes from OFF to ON or from ON to OFF, are configured in the Parameters/Summary tabs in the parameterisation box.

To configure a new event:

The time at which the events may take place can be modified as follows.

To summarise all the events created and their launch conditions, select the Summary tab and browse the list of events parameterised.

The Clear button is used to delete a specific event by clicking on it in the list in the Summary tab.

The Clear button is used to delete a selected event by its number in the Current cycle box in the Parameters tab.

The Number button is used to assign a new number (not yet used) to a specific event by clicking on it in the list in the Summary tab.

To modify the properties of an event, simply select its number in the Current cycle box and follow the steps described above.

When the user program is executed in simulation mode, the simulator's own clock is taken into account. When simulation mode is launched, this clock is initialised at the time/date of the clock on the PC on which the CLSM2 software is running. This clock will continue to be incremented normally and will not be modified by the simulation parameters selected. This clock can however be modified using the read/write date and time command or by selecting the OTHER option in the CLOCK command, which can be accessed by pressing the buttons on the front panel. This enables the programs containing TIME PROG functions to be identified during simulation.
