Events
The event configuration data setting allows event types to be set for event outputs 1 to 16.
Events are of the following four types: time event, PV event, code event and mode
event. Settings are divided into two types of events: segment events and instrument
event.
• Segment events are used to set the event operating point in a program setting and
makes it possible to set different set values in different segments. But in the constant
value control mode segment events are off.
• Instrument events are used to set events that do not require an event operating point
or set the event operating point in the event configuration setting. It performs opera-
tions that are shared by all program operations and constant value control.
●
Time events
The On Time or both the On and Off Time can be set by event number and segment.
Output on/off duration are as shown below.
NOTE
• The On Time is indicated by the length of the line from the start of the segment
until the upturned arrow.
• The Off Time is indicated by the length of the line from the start of the segment
until the downturned arrow.
• When the On Time is less than the off time, the output is on from the on time until the
off time.
(See segments 1, 6 and 7 in the figure.)
• When only an on setting is made, the output stays on until the end of the segment.
(See segments 2 and 5 in the figure.)
• The output is off when no On or Off Time has been set.
• An off time cannot be set without setting an on time.
(See segment 3B in the figure.)
