7.6 EVNT Menu (Event Control)
The event controller allows something to
happen when a set of conditions is met. There
are an unlimited number of applications for this
feature, such as:
•
Turning on a light at night
•
Using ‘waste’ energy pumping water in the
afternoon if the PL is in the float state
•
Sensor operated timed lighting at night
•
Turning on sprinklers for an hour if it’s over a
certain temperature
Using the Event Controller
Step 1 - Select PROG 4
Many users will not need the event controller, so
in Programs 0-3 it is automatically disabled. For
users who do wish to use the event controller,
Program 4 must be selected.
Step 2 - Set LSET or GSET
It is necessary to tell the PL which output
terminal will be controlled by the Event
Controller. This is done using the LSET setting
(to use the LOAD- terminal) or the GSET setting
(to use the “G” General Purpose terminal). The
use of these is described in Section 7.5. To use
the event controller, one of these settings must
be set to “4” or “5”.
Step 3 - Set the STRT condition.
The PL must be told what signifies the start of
the event. Move to the EVNT menu, as shown in
Figure 7.6A. A long-push on EVNT will move to
the STRT setting. STRT uses the following table
to determine what will start the event:
