Permissible time ranges for timer constants (as an input value for T or AC function
blocks)
You can set the following time ranges for the function blocks:
time range Function block T

Function block AC
S - 000.000 5 ms resolution
✓  –
M:S - 00:00 1 s resolution
✓  –
H:M - 00:00 1 min. resolution
✓  ✓
Changes to timer constants when the time range for a function block changes
If the time range for a function block changes, the time ranges of all timer constants
connected to the function block will change as well. The values of these timer con-
stants will then be changed accordingly, with an important limitation being the fact
that the changed values will not be allowed to exceed or fall below the new time
ranges. If any data or accuracy is lost, a message to this effect will be shown.
Example:
Say that the time range for a function block T is changed fromH:M - 00:00 and a res-
olution of 1 min. to M:S - 00:00 and a resolution of 1 s.
How would the following timer constant values change?
H:M - 00:00 1 min.
resolution
M:S - 00:00 1 s res-
olution
