Time-controlled actions: The enCore device provides following time-related events of a signal
type in the export branch Basic System – or standard time Time Service – Timer events:
Every second / Every <2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30> seconds
Every minute / Every <2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30> minutes
Every hour / Every <2, 3, 4, 6, 12> hours
Every day (at midnight)
Every Sunday (at midnight)
Every Monday (at midnight)
Every month (midnight on 1st)
Special case: Trigger for a longer cycle duration is activated first
Event signals in a second rhythm are formed relative to a full minute and event
signals in a minute rhythm are formed relative to a full hour. For example:
Every other minute e.g., 12:02:00 … 12:04:00 … 12:06:00 …, etc.
Every 3 minutes e.g., 12:03:00 … 12:06:00 … 12:09:00 …, etc.
This means that immediately after the device is restarted and until a cyclic event
signal is first triggered the time depends on the boot time and may be shorter than
the associated cycle. This special case can only occur once immediately after the
device is restarted.
Example: If the enCore device is switched on at 12:02:30 and the signals Every
other minute and Every 3 minutes are used as triggers, at system time
12:03.00, the signal Every 3 minutes is formed and only subsequently at
12:04.00 is the signal Every other minute formed.
