Note on the minimum time setting:
If a time value is less than the program cycle time, the
elapsed time will not be recognized until the next cycle. This
may cause unforeseeable switching states.
Analog value and timing relay setpoint
If you wish to use variable values as a timing relay setpoint, such as an analog input,
the following conversion rules apply, depending on the time base configured.
S time base
Equation: Time setpoint = ( Variable value/10) in [ms]
