3. Chaining Programs – Multi-Day Programming
The Chain Program screen provides the facility to create programs that
can run with different conditions over multiple days.
Chaining is the process of linking programs together so that they run
continuously in sequence.
If a program is not chained to itself or to
another program, it will stop running at midnight
.
•
To run the plant growth area under the same program every day,
chain the program to itself.
•
To run the plant growth area under different programs each day,
chain two or more programs together. These are called multi-day
programs. Multi-day programs are limited in size only by the amount
of storage space available in the controller. For additional storage,
use a floppy disk drive.
We recommend that each program have 0:00 and 23:59 timelines and
that the 23:59 timeline match the 0:00 timeline of the next program in
the chain to create a smooth transition from one program to the next.
Access the Chain Program screen by touching the
Chain
Program button in the Program toolbar.
