TRD/TWR/TCMP - Office Bell Timing Control
Control Purpose:
z
There are 4 moments the office bell will ring: on-duty / off-duty time in the morning and
on-duty / off-duty time in the afternoon. When the time is reached, the bell will ring
immediately and last for 1 minute. Users can set the 4 moments and adjust the current time
at any time.
Set the ringing time and adjust the current time.

Program Description:
z
The value in D200~D206 and D300~D311 can be set by WPLSoft or HMI.
To avoid the execution error of TWR instruction, the program uses [FMOV K1 D200 K4]
instruction at the beginning. This program operates only the data of Hour/Minute/Second in
D204~D206 but not the data of Year/Day/Month/Date in D200~D203. For TWR instruction,
the setting range: 00~99 for Year, 1~7 for Day(Mon ~Sun), 1~12 for Month and 1~31 for
Date. If the values in D200~D203 are out of the above range, the program will regard it as
an operation error and the instruction will not be executed and the Hour/Minute/Second data
cant be written either. Therefore, the program sets the Year/Week/Month/Day to K1 to fit the
above range and makes sure TWR instruction can be executed for writing in
Hour/Minute/Second data.

D4, D5 and D6 store the Hour/Minute/Second of the current time read form RTC.

Program Description:
z
The program performs control of warehouse automatic door by a RTC Time Zone Compare
instruction (TZCP). Through the Time Read instruction (TRD), the current time in RTC can
be read in D0~D6. D4, D5 and D6 store the Hour/Min/Sec data.
When Y0 = ON, the motor of door 1will run forward to execute opening action until upper
sensor is activated (X4 = ON).
When Y1 = ON, the motor of door 1 will run reverse to execute closing action until the lower
sensor in activated (X5 = ON).
The opening and closing actions of door 2 are the same with that of door 1.
For some special situations, the opening and closing actions of door 1 and door 2 can also
be performed by pressing manual open buttons (X0/X2) and manual close buttons (X1/X3)
in the control room.

HOUR - Control of Switching Motors after a Long Time Running
Control Purpose:
z
Controlling the automatic motor switching between main motor and auxiliary motor.
In some special applications, we use several motors running by turns to protect each motor and
extend their service life. In this program, there are 2 motors running by turns in the cycle: 2 days
(48 hours) for the main motor, then 1 day (24 hours) for the auxiliary motor.

Program Description:
z
When X0 = OFF, Y0 and Y1 = OFF, both main / auxiliary motor will not run.
When X0 = ON, the running status of Y0 (main motor) and Y1 (aux. motor) will be decided
by the ON/OFF status of M0 so as to control the two motors running in turns.
For main motor, D0 and D1 record the current time measured in hour and the current time
that is less than an hour (0~3599s). For auxiliary motor, D2 and D3 record the current time
measured in hour and the current time that is less than an hour (0~3599s).
16-bit instruction supports the set time up to 32,767 hours and 32-bit instruction supports
the set time up to 2,147,483,647 hours.
The timer will go on timing after the set time is reached. For restart timing, users need to
clear the current time stored in D0~D3 and reset flag M10 and M11.
