Time Clock 1Ch
Time Clock 1Ch executes a timer which can be configured with switch-on time, switch-off time and the days of the week on which the time switch should be active. A timestamp is required as a reference value because the algorithm needs a time context in which to operate. This reference timestamp is automatically set if the configuration includes another algorithm. Therefore it is not possible to use the Time Clock 1Ch individually.
Optionally, a Boolean signal can be selected for the Enable Execution input so that the algorithm is only active if the value of the selected signal is TRUE.
Configuration options
- Time On: switch-on time.
- Time Off: switch-off time.
- Day of Week Mask: weekdays on which the timer should be active.
Output Values
- Is On: Shows TRUE, if the time switch is on, otherwise FALSE.
- Next Switch: Shows the remaining time up to the next switch.
Standard HMI Controls
For the Timer Clock 1Ch algorithm, the following HMI controls are available for generating an Analytics Dashboard:
1. The Timer Control visualizes the output value Next Switch.
2. The Table Control or Multivalue Control visualizes all output values: Output, Next Switch.
Alternatively, customer-specific HMI controls can be mapped in the Timer Clock 1Ch algorithm using the Mapping Wizard.
