Daily Time Scheduler Channel
The Daily Time Scheduler Channel presents a simple time-switch with an adjustable day-periodicity.
Settings
Parameters
- Start: Time: Absolute start-time on a switching-day. The scheduler-channel will be active beginning with this time.
Start: Sunrise + Offset: The scheduler-channel will be active beginning with the actual sunrise + offset (in minutes) on a switching-day.
Start: Sunset + Offset: The scheduler-channel will be active beginning with the actual sunset + offset (in minutes) on a switching-day. - End: Time: Absolute start-time on a switching-day. The scheduler-channel will be active beginning with this time.
End: Sunrise + Offset: The scheduler-channel will be inactive beginning with the actual sunrise + offset (in minutes) on a switching-day.
End: Sunset + Offset: The scheduler-channel will be inactive beginning with the actual sunset + offset (in minutes) on a switching-day.
Series Model
- Every n day(s): Periodicity.
- 1st Day: From this day on all switching-days are calculated by the periodicity.
Behavior
The periodicity is calculated from the beginning of the day, the PLC is initialized. If the start is earlier than the end, the scheduler channel will only be active from the start-time until the end-time of the switching-day. If the end is earlier than the start, the scheduler-channel will just work inversely. Entering the same time for both start and end would result in an undefined state and will thus be regarded as an input-error.
It is also possible to use the sunrise/sunset function which will calculate both times for the switching-day together with an offset, which can be either positive or negative. These resulting start and end-time however are automatically delimited to the beginning (00:00:00:000) or the end of the day (23:59:59:999).
Scenes
On this screen the scenes can be entered, which shall be executed, when the scheduler-channel turns to either its active or inactive state.

State
- Value: Displays the current state of the scheduler-channel.
- Remaining Time On: Remaining time in which the scheduler-channel is active.
- Remaining Time Off: Remaining time in which the scheduler-channel is inactive.
State PLC Module
- Execution State: Shows if the module is running or stopped.
- Error: In case of an error, the error code and the error parameter are displayed in this box.
- Start/Stop: Starts/stops the module.
