Program a Timed Event
The RFC-1/B can perform functions based on time and date. An automatic function requires both a date/time trigger and an action sequence.
Action Sequence
An action sequence is a series of instructions stored in memory to perform a task. It has no information about when the task occurs.
- An action sequence is a stored set of instructions that perform a task
- An action sequence is triggered by an alarm or a date/time trigger
- The system stores stores eight action sequences
Action sequences can operate control relays, print readings, etc. A typical action sequence to turn on a transmitter is activate a relay, pause several seconds, then activate another relay.
The RFC-1 can store eight action sequences. Each sequence can have eight steps. Steps are performed in order and the sequence terminates at the first blank step.
Action sequence 1 is used by the alarms in the factory settings. All other action sequences are empty/unused by default.
Date/Time Trigger
A date/time trigger causes an action sequence to occur at a specific time. It contains timing information but no specifics about the task that it triggers.
- A date/time trigger starts an action sequence to perform a task
- The system stores stores between 48 and 80 date/time triggers
The number of available date/time triggers is effected by the number of telemtry channels that are used. Memory from unused telemetry channels is used to increase the number of date/time triggers.
