SELOGIC Control Equation Programming
SELOGIC Control Equation Elements
A sequencing timer counts time by incrementing the Elapsed Time when
SEL
OGIC control equation execution reaches the Input equation if the Reset is
off and the Input is on. The Output turns on when the Elapsed Time reaches or
exceeds the Preset Time. Whenever the Reset is on, the relay sets the Output
to zero, then clears the Elapsed Time, and stops accumulating time (even if
Input is on).
Figure 3.8 is a timing diagram for typical sequencing timer operation.
