Time Delays Time Delays are used to cause actions that might otherwise require external controllers or time delay relays They delay the response of the output s to which they are applied and are useful for control and alarm functions All time delays are adjustable between 0 ms to 5 46 minutes at a 5 ms resolution Switch Time Delays Each switch has 3 independently adjustable delays e On Delay e Off Delay e No Target Delay A time delay begins when the condition that triggers it first occurs a distance measurement that could turn a switch ON or OFF or no target Time delays are re triggered 1 e the trigger condition must remain active for the full time delay period or the time delay will be reset to zero If the trigger condition remains for the full time delay period then the corresponding action takes place switch turns on or off Switch time delay setup is shown on page 23 Examples uses include e Set an alarm if the sensor loses the target for an excessive time period or material stops flowing on a conveyor jam condition e Force a switch state for a minimum time to assure correct operation of other equipment Analog No Target Time Delay Analog outputs can be set to their high value low value or not change if no target is detected The current loop and voltage have independent selections A time delay begins when the no target condition first occurs The time delay can be re triggered 1 e no ta
