6.22.2 Operation
The timers can run in profile mode or in cyclical mode. See below some examples for such modes.
Fig. 7-2 Example for timer operation in cyclical mode
Fig. 7-3 Example for timer operation in profile mode
6.22.3 Special Notes
If the timer runs in the „MODE: profile“ the program must start at the time [00:00 h:m].
In the profile mode the last condition programmed for the timer output is stored until the
timer is stopped.
A timer in the „Mode: profile“ must have at least one breakpoint of a time different from zero.
Otherwise it cannot be started.
A timer in „Mode: cycle“ must have a time for „CYCLE“ and „PULSE“. Otherwise it cannot be
started.
