G 3800 X015 Configuration Software

2.2.4. Timer/Recycler

Description
This object makes it possible to select between two modes of operation: timer and recycler. In both modes,
an input coded to the channel of the timer starts the functions, but the input can also be activated by a differ-
ent channel or flag.
Timer (with on-delay or off-delay)
The timer allows the setting of an on-delay and/or an off-delay. When an input coded to this channel is acti-
vated, the on-delay starts. After elapse of this delay, the Off time starts. The Off time stops after the set time, if
the input is released before expiry of the set time. If the input is not released, the output remains activated.
Recycler
If the recycler is activated by an input, the recycler continuously generates a square-wave signal. The output
is activated after the set on-delay period and de-activated after the set off-delay period. This process is
repeated, as long as the input or the additional trigger is ON.
Parameters
Depending on the options selected under Timer function, a number of parameters can be selected for Timer
and Recycler:
