Description Note
Function block release by
EN is necessary
If this checkbox is enabled, the state
of function block input EN will be
evaluated. If the checkbox is dis-
abled instead, the function block will
be enabled and function block input
EN will not do anything.
This parameter ensures that
when existing programs are
copied, the functionality of the
function blocks that are carried
over will be retained. The para-
meter will be automatically set
to 0 or 1 depending on the func-
tion block.
Channel A - D A maximum of four channels can be
configured (all four channels will act
on output Q1).
For each channel, you can set an ON
time and an OFF time that are accur-
ate to the second . In addition, you
can select one or two days of the
week when these times will apply.
Note: If the off time is earlier
than the on time, the control
relay will not switch off until the
following day.

If + Call enabled is selected for the function block under Function block dia-
gram/Parameters/, it will be possible to change the switching times in the PARAMETER
menu on the device while in RUN / STOP mode.
The time to be entered must be between 00:00 and 23:59.
