Sequential Running of Outputs

[rapidscadaaks]

Hi

I have 5 Digital Outputs (DO1 to DO5) connected to Rapid Scada.
I would like Rapid Scada to automatically put on between defined start and stop time DO1 with DO2 for 10 seconds then DO3 (instead of DO2) for 15 seconds then DO4 (instead of DO3) for 20 seconds and finally DO5 (instead of DO4) for 10 seconds. DO1 is always on when any of D02, DO3, DO4 or DO5 are on. This cycle to repeat every x minutes.

Please help

Thanks

Hi,

Try creating a time trigger in Automatic Control Module. Use the Delay parameter of commands to send them as a sequence.

Hi Mikhail

Thanks for the input. There are couple of issues in the suggested solution:

1. By using the Time Trigger, I can start a series of commands at a particular time of the day. Where do I set the seconds for running a particular command?

2. The cycle has to repeat after every x minutes. Where can I set this?

Thanks

Hi,

1. When creating a time trigger, you can enter time with seconds. If it’s doesn’t work for you, please provide a screenshot.

2. If it should repeat not too fast, you can enter many times of day in the trigger options. Alternatively, you should create a channel that changes from 0 to 1 every X minutes, and create a data trigger that reacts on the channel.
