Default setting:
none
A trigger starts a step. If the trigger is asserted, the step duration and the
delay time begin immediately. After the delay time has expired, the on-time
starts.
none
: The step is switched off and does not respond to triggers. It cannot be
started from another step either.
Act mode
: The step is started when the action mode is met.
barrier 1 – 3
: The step is started by the light barriers 1 to 3.
manual
: The step is started by pressing the
key.
follow
: If a step is not the first one in a chain, it must have the trigger
fol-
low
. This indicates that this step is being called up by another step.

The delay time determines the time offset between the trigger and the
switching of the contacts.
The ON-time can be shifted within the step duration using the delay time. If
the delay time is zero, the ON-time starts at the same time as the step dura-
tion.
Important: Delay and ON-time together must not be longer than the
step duration! Values for the delay or ON-time whose sum is greater
than the step duration, will not be accepted. The step duration must
be modified first! The value is not modified automatically by the soft-
ware, as it is done for the outputs!
