Cyclic mode
Cyclic mode is used for generating periodically repeated pulses.
POUT x MODE: CYCL. PULS
AKT.: High LNG.: 00.10 sec
CYCLIC TIME
TIME: 0:00:02
The value in field 'Cycle Time' determines the time between two consecutive pulses
(2 sec in example above). This cycle time must be entered as hours, minutes and
seconds. The pulse train is synchronized at 0:00 o'clock local time, so the first pulse of
a day always occurs at midnight. A cycle time of 2 seconds for example, would cause
pulses at 0:00:00, 0:00:02, 0:00:04 etc. Basically it is possible to enter any cycle time
between 0 and 24 hours, however only a cycle times that causes a constant distance
between all consecutive pulses make sense. For example a cycle time of 1 hour 45
minutes would generate a pulse every 6300 seconds (starting from 0 o'clock). The
duration between the last pulse of a day and the first pulse of the next day (0:00:00
o'clock) would only be 4500 sec.
PPS, PPM, PPH Modes
These modes generate pulses of defined length once per second, once per minute or
one per hour. 'Single Shot Time' determines the pulse duration (10 msec...10 sec).
The respective output remains in active state, when selecting a pulse duration longer
than 990ms in pulse per sec mode.
