5.7 Automatic timed control
The automatic timed control function is used to control the outputs automatically at
configurable time of day. The time of control can be configured in timing templates similarly
to the access templates. This function is useful when it is needed to open the gate
automatically at certain times of day and keep it open for given periods due to e.g. higher
traffic, saving thereby the mechanics and avoiding the users to have to open the gate every
few seconds (e.g. in the morning, when a large number of people arrive at their workplace
practically at the same time). It is also possible to configure multiple automatic opening
periods for the same day by adding multiple templates.
With regard to the duration of opening and closing impulses, the automatic timed
control function always takes into consideration the time intervals configured at the
given control mode, but the operation is different at certain control modes:
in case of using control mode 1 or 2, output OUT1 and output OUT2 give permanent
closed contact durin
g the interval between the time configured at “
Open
” and “
Close
”
options.
The automatic timed control can be used with these control modes for example with
gate controllers which keep the gate open permanently while the controlling signal
(closed contact) is present on their control input.
In the “
Output control
” section it can
be configured which output to be controlled by the automatic timed control function
(output OUT1, OUT2 or both at the same time).
in case of using control mode 3, output OUT1 gives closed contact for
X
seconds at the
time configured at the “Open” option, then after
W
seconds (gate opening interval)
output OUT2 gives permanent open contact, thus breaking the photocell loop and
keeping the gate open till the time configured at the “Close” option, when output OUT1
gives closed contact again for
Z
seconds.
for control modes 4 and 5, output OUT1 gives closed contact for
X
seconds at the time
conf
igured at “Open” option, then output OUT2 gives closed contact for
Z
seconds at the
time configured at “Close” option.
