6.1.13 Group 3.12: Timer functions
The time functions (Time Channels) in the Vacon 100 X give you the possibility to program func-
tions to be controlled by the internal RTC (Real Time Clock). Practically every function that can
be controlled by a digital input can also be controlled by a Time Channel. Instead of having an
external PLC controlling a digital input you can program the "closed" and "opened" intervals
of the input internally.
NOTE! The functions of this parameter group can be made the fullest advantage of only if the
battery (option) has been installed and the Real Time Clock settings have been properly made
during the Startup Wizard (see page 6 and page 7).
It is not recommended to use these func-
tion without battery backup because the drive’s time and date settings will be reset at every
power down if no battery for the RTC is installed.
Time channels
The on/off logic for the
Time channels
is configured by assigning
Intervals
or/and
Timers
to
them. One
Time channel
can be controlled by many
Intervals
or
Timers
by assigning as many
of these as needed to the
Time channel
.
Figure 22. The intervals and timers can be assigned to time channels in a flexible way. Ev-
ery interval and timer has its own parameter for assigning to a time channel.
Intervals
Every interval is given an "ON Time" and "OFF Time" with parameters. This is the daily time
that the interval will be active during the days set with "From Day" and “To Day” parameters.
E.g. the parameter setting below means that the interval is active from 7 am to 9 am every
weekday (Monday to Friday). The Time Channel to which this Interval is assigned will be seen
as a closed "virtual digital input" during that period.
ON Time : 07:00:00
OFF Time : 09:00:00
From Day : Monday
To Day : Friday
