Configuration

  Active

You can use this circuit to switch a timer on and off.

  Name

Give the timer a name. The name improves the clarity and enables you to reference this timer using the name in another place, for example in the operations or time-delays.

  Settings

You can use the symbol to expand the configuration screen to include further settings. You can use the symbol to hide these settings again.

  Delete

By pushing the delete button, you launch the relevant time switch with standard values.

  Time

The time switching points are entered here using the 24-hour clock.

  Value

There are three options to choose from for the value. "-" for do nothing, "on" for switch on and "off" for switch off.

  Weekly profile

You can use this button to determine the individual days on which the time switch is to function.

  Trigger

The trigger decides whether the time switch takes on its status immediately after the launch or reconfiguration of the system, or only after the configured time switching points
"at switching point or difference in status": The time switch takes on its status after the launch or reconfiguration of the system and at the time switching points.
"at switching point": The time switch only changes its status at the time switching points.

  Output

Here, you can specify that the time switch has a direct effect on output, as defined, for example, in the technologies KNX, EnOcean etc.

  Scenes

Here, you can specify that the time switch on a scene is forwarded. If an "on" signal is generated, the "on" scene is carried out. If an "off" signal is generated, the "off" scene is carried out accordingly

  used by

If the time switch is used as an input by one or more instance(s), such as an operation or a time-delay, a corresponding list of these instances is shown here.

 

FAQs

 

Do outputs and scenes have to be entered in the configuration fields?
No. A time switch can be defined without outputs and scenes. In this case, it works exclusively as an input for operations and time-delays.

 

What status does a connected operation provide on days that are not marked in the weekly profile?
A connected logic provides the status that the time switch was most recently in.
Example: Weekly profile Mon-Fri, switching point 8 am off and 7 pm on.
=> On Saturday and Sunday, a connected logic provides the status "on", as the time switch was in this status on Friday evening.
