Block Time switch
Block Time switch| Block
function block for the control element
Block Time switch; the
control element must be connected with this function block.
See Block Presence and
Presence General. This logic implements a time switch. The switching times can be set via the control element "Block Time switch". For this, the logic must first be created, and the control element then connected with the logic (right-click on the control element and select the logic). The clock has no on/off state; instead, any number of switching times can be created, and any value can be output at each point in time. This makes it possible to specify different setpoints at the switching times, for example 100% lighting in the morning, 50% during the day, 70% in the evening and 10% at night. Likewise, the operating modes of room controllers could be switched (Comfort, Standby, Night). |
Inputs |
||
| FG |
Enable |
Enable. At input 1 the clock is
activated, otherwise inactive. If the input is not assigned, the
clock is always enabled. If the enable is controlled via the control
element, a variable must be connected at the input. |
Outputs |
||
| A1 |
At the output, the variable that is to be
switched with the clock is connected. In the
parameters the number of outputs can be set, which
saves you a 1-N logic when several outputs are to be switched
with one
clock. |
|
Parameters |
||
| Number of
outputs |
Number of outputs. The same value is output on all
outputs. |
|
| Set output at start | The output is always set according to the last active switching time at start or when loading the project. | |
| Pulse output | With this option the output is set to the value configured in the control element and back to 0 after 4 seconds. | |
| Draw connection lines | If this option is activated, connection lines from the outputs to the connected blocks are drawn in the program editor. By default the option is deactivated to keep things clear when there are many outputs. | |
