Setting Examples (continued)
MODE -03-
This mode is used to measure the time a process takes
from start to finish. An example could be a CNC machine
that is programmed to make a certain part (push, bend,
drill and stop). Need to know how much time it takes
from start to finish so that future plans can be made
when time comes to make several pieces of the same
part. This requires a timer to be able to start counting
then stop and display the actual process time.
The DT-5TXR/DT-5TS has a MODE for this application (and
similar ones) where it can measure the ON time of a signal
that starts when the process begins until it ends (see
signal waveform diagram - top, right).
NOTE: The diagrams to the right show a typical process
application where the proximity switch sends a signal to
the DT-5TXR/DT-5TS telling it when the process started and
also when it is finished upon the return of the press table.
As was mentioned above, MODE -03- of the DT-5TXR/5TS is
able to count and display that process time.
