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 in-
ternally.
NOTE!
The functions of this parameter group can be made the fullest advantage of only if the bat-
tery (option) has been installed and the Real Time Clock settings have been properly made during
the Startup Wizard (see page 31 and page 32).
It is not recommended
to use these functions without
battery backup because the time and date settings of the drive 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 34. The intervals and timers can be assigned to time channels in a flexible way. Every 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 pa-
rameter 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 dig-
ital input" during that period.
