Repeat cycle Timers are used in processes where the cycle must be repeated numerous time over the course of a day. They can replace many time of day timers. This example is a working fragment of a larger system. The actions of the Master ON / Master Off not germain to the Repeat Cycle Timer for pump control have been removed.
System is AHP 3.306 with Smart Macros
This example works from the computer as no flags are used. Modified Macros that run from the interface are included.
Module Descriptions:
A1 (Master)
- any Switchable On/Off module I'm using an M466. This MAY be a phantom module.
- provides enable for repeat cycle timer
A2 (Pump Control)
- any Switchable On/Off module I'm using an M466. This IS a phantom module.
- maintains state for repeat cycle timer
A3 (Pump)
- any Switchable On/Off module I'm using an WS13A. This IS a real module.
- actual control for the pump
Macro Descriptions:
Master On - Provides initial trigger Repeat Cycle Timer
Master Off - turns Pump Control and Pump Off
Cycle Timer - implements the repeat cycle, and controls A3 (Pump)
Pump Control Reset - not needed, turns A2 (Pump Control) Off When A1 (Master) is off, following self- trigger of Cycle Timer
