PAC Logic - Timers

I have two questions regarding Timers.

What is the scope of a timer, is it global or is it modular (per module)?

What is maximum number of Timers (timer number) you can have?

 

Timers in PAC

Darren is the man to answer these, however I am sure you will find timers are global. As with all functions in the PAC the logic.pdf in the maunals section of the PICED software explains things very well.

Again I am not 100% sure but think the PAC has a capacity of 50 timers.

TimerTime has a max 9 hours (32767 sec).

The main reason I replied to this post is to make sure you update the firmware in the PAC to v2.1 or later. Otherwise you will have lots of fun (not) getting timer functions to operate in the PAC

Global.

20 for the PAC. See Help | Software Properties.

 

Thanks, I have updated to v2.2

 

Thanks Darren, the software properties answered a few questions I had.


One more question. if you had line of code like ...
PulseCBusLevel("MyNetwork1", "Lighting", "Kitchen Light", 60%, 0, "0:00:30", -1);

Will the above line take about 30 seconds to execute?

 

No. It will execute immediately and set an internal timer to switch the load again in 30 seconds time. This timer will get reset if it sees and other commands for "Kitchen Light".

 

Thanks Darren.
