Time Event Scheduling on H100 and H100+ Drives

Time Event Scheduling on H100 and H100+ Drives

The Time Event function on H100 and H100+ drives allows up to 4 different events (time periods) with 8 exceptions to be set which utilizes the RTC (Real Time Clock) feature. For example, the drive can run between the hours of 6am to 6pm for select days with the exception of 12am to 1pm if desired.

Note:

  1. The battery tab for the battery located on the I/O control board needs to be removed prior to setting up this function.
  2. The battery lasts approximately 25,800 hours (3 years) with the drive turned off and 53,300 hours (6 years) with the drive turned on.  

To setup the Time Event function, set the following parameters. This example is for only one time period with no exceptions:

  1. DRV-6 = 5 (Time Event)
  2. DRV-7 = Sets the frequency command source 
  3. AP3-1 = Current Date
  4. AP3-2 = Current Time
  5. AP3-3 = Current day of week set with virtual DIP switches
    For example, if the current day of the week is Monday, set AP3-3 = 0100000 as shown below.

  6. AP3-04 = Summer Time Start Date (Daylight Savings Time Start)
  7. AP3-05 = Summer Time Stop Date (Daylight Savings Time Stop)
    Note: This feature accounts for daylight savings time where applicable. The current time will  "fall back" when this period ends or "spring forward" when this period begins. If this feature is NOT desired, set AP3-04=01/01 (January 1st) and APE-05=12/31 (December 31) and verify the current time set in AP3-02. 
  8. AP3-11 = Desired Start Time for Period 1
    For example, set AP3-11 = 13:00 for 1:00pm.
  9. AP3-12 = Desired Stop Time for Period 1
    For example, set AP3-12 = 15:00 for 3:00pm.
  10. AP3-13 = Desired day of the week for Period 1 set with virtual DIP switches
    For example, set AP3-13 = 0111110 for Monday thru Friday.

  11. AP3-70 = 1 to enable the Time Event function
  12. AP3-72 = Set the virtual DIP switches to enable/disable Periods and Exceptions for Time Event 1
    For example, set AP3-72 = 000000000001 to enable Period 1.
  13. AP3-73 = Set the desired event function for Time Period 1
    For example, set AP3-73 = 1 for Fx – Forward Run Command.
