Description

Name

Use the default names or edit the text.

Designation of program generator

Funktion

No function

Program generator

Fixed value generator

Program generator is switched off.

Program generator is controlled by a program.

Program generator works as a fixed value generator.
In this case, the setpoints for the home position or manual operation are used.
Currently not planned in the Visu-Template.

Program start

Program begin

Actual value

Time

Program starts at the first programmed setpoint.

The program is checked from the beginning for compliance with actual and setpoint values. The program is continued at the point where compliance with actual and setpoint values exists.
If the actual and setpoint values do not match or if the actual value is invalid, the program is restarted from the beginning.

For a setpoint jump, an exact correlation of actual and setpoint values is not possible. Therefore, the section is determined in which correlation takes place. The program is continued with the next section.

A start time entered at the start of the program is adopted as the start time within a 24-hour program.
Example:
Start time: 06:00:

00; 24h program from
0 to 24.00: the program starts at
6.00 and runs until 24.00.

Behaviour on
O-o-R

Behaviour of the program generator when the measurement range is not achieved or exceeded (out-of-range)

Behaviour of the program generator when the measurement range is not achieved or exceeded (out-of-range)

Continue

Program stop

Program continues running.

Program is stopped.

Power off

Behaviour of the program generator when the power failure is over.

Cancel

Continue

Standstill

Continue at x %



Continue at actual value

Program is cancelled, program generator goes to home position.

Program continues to run at the point where it was at the time of the power failure.

Program is stopped (program generator remains in automatic mode). The program can be continued by operation or cancelled.

Program continues to run at the point where it was at the time of the power failure if the actual value difference (before and after the power failure is less than or equal to x %. Otherwise the program generator goes into standstill.

The program continues to run at the actual value, taking into account whether the program curve had a positive or negative slope at the time of the power failure.

Actual value difference

0 ... 100 %

Maximum permissible difference between the actual value before and after the power failure for the program to continue running.

Start with time

The program can be started at a certain time (input of date and time by operation).

No

Yes

Direct program start

Program start at a specific time.

End signal

0 ... 32767 s

Duration of program end signal
