6. PROGRAM CONTROL
Program control operation allows specific operation of the controlled object by programming Segment levels
(Set value of segment) and tracking the program progress.
For the program control operation, refer to 5.4 Program Control Operation (P. 5-11).
Program configuration
The change in Segment level from the beginning to the end of the program is defined as “Pattern.” It is
possible to store up to 99 patterns.
A pattern consists of section called “Segment.” Pattern is composed by setting Segment level (Set value of
the segment) and Segment time (duration of the segment).
It is possible to set 1024 segments maximum (up to 99 segments for one pattern).
PID setting, Event function and Wait function can be set in each segment by using the PID memory group,
Event memory group and Wait memory group. Time signal and Output program are activated by setting
the Memory group of each pattern.
Functions of Program control operation: Program control start selection, Search function, Hold, Step, Wait,
Repeat, Pattern link, Pattern end, Time signal, Segment signal, Output program, Forward/Back-up function,
Pattern remaining time monitor, Pattern copy/data clear and Tag function.
