• Holiday trigger only

When only the Holiday option is selected in the Week/Holiday condition, it means this schedule will trigger only on holidays.
Example: Whenever there is a holiday, the traffic signal will start flashing at midnight 00:01 and end at 23:59 of the same day.

• Weekdays trigger only

In the Week/Holiday condition, selecting only Monday to Sunday without selecting holidays means that this schedule will trigger only on weekdays.
Example: On weekdays (non-holidays), turn on the lobby lights at 8:00 in the morning and turn them off at 5:00 in the afternoon.

• Holiday & Specific Weekdays trigger

In the Week/Holiday condition, selecting both Monday to Sunday and holidays means that this schedule will trigger on specified weekdays or holidays.
Example: Whenever it's Wednesday or a holiday, turn on the driveway lights at 6:00 in the evening and turn them off at 10:00 at night.

Conditions:
1. At the entrance of the driveway, when the infrared sensor X₀ is triggered, it activates the opposite exit signal light Y₀.
2. The signal light operates in a cycle of ON for 0.3 seconds > OFF for 0.3 seconds >   ON for 0.3 seconds > OFF for 0.3 seconds, and so on.
3. At the end of the driveway entrance, there's another set of infrared sensors (X₁). The signal light Y₀ stops outputting only after a vehicle triggers X₁ and leaves.
4. The above operation sequence is triggered only on holidays, defined here as Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (excluding public holidays).
5. For holiday settings. You can manually select holidays in the [Holiday] section or edit and download them in 701ClientSQL.

Instruction Explanation:

• Index 000: Output Y₀ operates in a cycle mode, with a time unit of ON for 0.3 seconds and OFF for 0.3 seconds, repeating. It triggers only on holidays (requires setting Holiday to select all Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays throughout the year), with the trigger condition being the rising edge of X₀.
• Index 001: Turns off Y₀, triggered by holidays or the falling edge of X₁.

The above are the methods for configuring self-holding on AR-401-IO-0808R, which can be done using the traditional PLC approach. 

Instruction Explanation :

The AR-401-PLC-0808R supports traditional self-holding control settings. When X₀ or Y₀ is in conducting state, and meantime X₁ is in short circuit state, then Y₀ will be turned ON.

AR-401-10-0808R supports Edge Trigger Mode, allowing for the simple design of self-holding control with the same action mode as described in section 6-1 Motor Self-holding Control.

Instruction Explanation :
ON Y₀ when X₀ triggered with rising edge; OFF Y₀ when X₁ triggered with rising edge.

 ※Edge trigger conditions must be set in Join4.

Conditions:
There is a dual infrared sensing alarm system on-site (Infrared A / Infrared B). When Infrared A is triggered, a timer of 30 seconds starts. If Infrared B is also triggered within 30 seconds, the alarm Y0 will be activated. After the alarm occurs, it needs to be deactivated by pressing the reset button by the management personnel.

Instruction Explanation:

• Index 000: Infrared A (X₀) triggers M₈ on the rising edge.
  Index 001: M₈ triggers TIMER000.
  Index 002: When TIMER000 reaches 30, M₈ turns off.
  Index 003: While M₈ is ON, Infrared B (X₁) triggers the alarm Y₀ on the edge.
  Index 004: Management room reset button triggers the closing of alarm Y₀ output 
                     on the rising edge.

Referenced Commands:  Edge trigger / Timer counter

Conditions: 
1. Lights flash on weekdays, Monday to Friday, in the morning for 90 minutes, with no
 action on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays.
2. The flashing pattern of the lights is ON for 0.5 seconds > OFF for 0.2 seconds > ON for 0.5 seconds > OFF for 0.2 seconds, and so on.
3. This example uses a fixed time point (8:30 AM) as the trigger condition.

Instruction Explanation: 
Set the activation condition for the cycle to be from Monday to Friday at 08:30, and the deactivation condition to be any day of the week and the time to be 09:59.

Conditions:
On-site, there is a light signal device that needs the PLC to provide an output for 10 seconds every minute.

Instruction Explanation:

• Index 000: Timer000 < 60, meaning TMR 000 will continuously cycle between 0 and 60 seconds.
• Index 001: Pulse output for 10 seconds, condition is TMR 000 = 0.

※Since TMR 000 continuously cycles between 0 and 60 seconds, each time TMR000 = 0, it will execute a Pulse output. This setup meets the requirement of providing a 10-second output every minute.
This configuration is suitable for short cycle outputs, directly specifying on-site cycles of every n seconds/minutes; for outputs required every hour or longer, refer to A-3 for hourly timed triggers.

Condition:
There is a traffic signal on-site, and after triggering, the green light stays on for 20 seconds. After the green light, the yellow light stays on for 5 seconds, and after the yellow light, the red light stays on for 20 seconds.

Instruction Explanation:
This example uses the Pulse function to control time, and conditions like the previous output OFF combined with the next output ON to trigger the next actual output. This example can be extended continuously until all 64 schedules are used up.

• Index 000: The actual output for the green light, triggers Y₀ for 20 seconds with the rising edge of X₀, indicating the green light for 20 seconds.
• Index 001: The virtual output for the yellow light, triggers M₈ for 25 seconds with the rising edge of X₀, using M₈-Y₀ (25-20=5) for the 5 seconds of the yellow light output.
• Index 002: The virtual output for the red light, triggers M₉ for 45 seconds with the rising edge of X₀, using M₉-M₈ (45-25=20) for the 20 seconds of the red light output.
• Index 003: The actual output for the yellow light, lights up the yellow light for a total of 5 seconds when Y₀ is OFF and M₈ is ON.
• Index 004: The actual output for the red light, lights up the red light for a total of 20 seconds when M₈ is OFF and M₉ is ON.

※ The following example is for a single time alarm (00:00). Please set and test other time points accordingly.

Trigger the Alarm When Door Open more than 10 minutes 

Condition:
The main door is equipped with door sensor, serving as the condition for starting the Timer. When the main door is open (door sensor short-circuited) for more than 10 minutes, it will trigger an alarm. The alarm will persist until the main door is closed or until the administrator presses the release button.

Instruction Explanation:

• Index 000: When the Timer000 is equal to 60, Counter Counter000 will increment by 1.
• Index 001: When Timer000 is less than 60, it will cyclically count from 0 to 60 seconds. Additionally, there are required conditions: Y₀ OFF (alarm not triggered yet)  and X₀ OFF (door open, door sensor short-circuited).
• Index 002: When the Counter000 exceeds 10, it will trigger the virtual output M₁₅  (used as the trigger condition for Y₀ alarm output).
• Index 003: The trigger conditions for resetting the Counter000 are X₀ (door closed) or X₁(pressing the release button).
• Index 004: Y₀ alarm is self-holding function, with the condition of virtual output M₁₅ ON (door open for ten minutes) and X₁ OFF (alarm release button short-circuited).

Application Architecture : 

※Pipe output (Applicable to firmware version 5.06 and above, released on December 22, 2023)
Starting from this version, Pipe Output is supported. When the virtual output 255 is ON (as fixed conditions), it will trigger Pipe Output. This means that within the same time, 
Pipe outputs will not do the output simultaneously; instead, they will be queued and executed in the order of triggering.
※The schedule for selecting Pipe output will not be executed when the virtual output 255 is OFF.

Condition Requirements: 
There are three entrances to the parking lot, and each parking space is equipped with occupancy detection. When the parking system detects that the number of parking spaces is full, it will provide a signal to the 0808 PLC as a input to switch the barrier gate activation mode.

• When parking spaces are not full: All three entrances can directly trigger the barrier gate through infrared sensing, allowing vehicles to enter the parking lot.
• When parking spaces are full: The three entrances follow a queuing process. The one that first detects infrared signals will be given priority to enter the queue (Pipe). The barrier gates will be opened in a rotating manner through the queuing system to allow vehicles to enter.

Instruction Explanation:

• Index 000: X₄ is the signal input for full parking spaces, activating virtual output Y₂₅₅ and switching the output mode to Pipe output.
• Index 001~3: Queue output conditions. When the infrared edge trigger X₀ is activated for the first entrance (output for ten seconds), and condition Y₂₅₅ is ON, virtual point M₈ is output. Similar conditions apply for the other entrances.
• Index 004~6: General output conditions. When the infrared edge trigger X₀ is activated for the first entrance (Latch output), and condition Y₂₅₅ is OFF, virtual point M₁₁ is output. Similar conditions apply for the other entrances.
• Index 007~9: Combined conditions of Index 001~3 and Index 004~6. When M₈ or M₁₁ is triggered, output Y₀. Similar conditions apply for the two other conditions.
• Index 010~12: Conditions for closing virtual points Y₁₁~Y₁₃. After a vehicle passes through the barrier gate, the another infrared sensor should be triggered to execute the action of closing Y₁₁~Y₁₃.

Conditions:
There are two sets of motor devices on-site (Motor A/Motor B). Each day at noon (12:00), one set of motor is triggered for one hour. Motor A is the primary motor, and it operates when the counter of Motor A is less than or equal to the usage count of Motor B. Motor B is the secondary motor and operates when the counter of Motor B is less than the usage count of Motor A.

Instruction Explanation:

• Index 000: When Y₀ triggers Motor A, it synchronously triggers X₀. A rising edge trigger on X₀ increments the counter (CNT000) by 1.
• Index 001: When Y₁ triggers Motor B, it synchronously triggers X₁. An rising edge trigger on X₁ increments the counter (CNT001) by 1.
• Index 002: When CNT000 is less than CNT001, trigger M₈.
• Index 003: When CNT001 is less than CNT000, trigger M₉.
• Index 004: When CNT000 equals CNT001, trigger M₁₀.
• Index 005: Set the trigger condition for Y₀. Y₀ is energized when either M₈ or M₁₀ is on, and M₁₁ is also on. Ensure that Y₀ is simultaneously wired to X₀ for counting conditions.
• Index 006: Set the trigger condition for Y₁. Y₁ is energized when M₉ is on, and M₁₁ is also on. Ensure that Y₁ is simultaneously wired to X₁ for counting conditions.
• Index 007: Y₁₁ will be turned ON at noon (12:00) as a necessary condition for motor triggering.
• Index 008: Y₁₁ will be turned OFF at 1:00 PM, stopping the motor output.
• Index 009: Counter reset point. When the management center receives information that the motor usage has reached a certain count, the maintenance provider should be contacted for equipment maintenance, press the reset button (X₂) to reset counter CNT000 after the maintenance.
• Index 010: Same as Index 009, pressing the reset button (X₂) resets counter CNT001.
• Index 011: When CNT000 counts to 365, Y₇ will be triggered, providing a warning signal to the management center. When this signal light is on, proactive contact with the maintenance provider is required.

Edge Trigger (Rising) / Counter / CNT Comparison / Action Time 

Conditions:
This method can generate a timer of any custom duration. In this example, a TIMER paired with a Counter creates a 24-hour cycle timer, which then triggers outputs at specific times. Following this logic, it can measure seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, etc., and specify conditions for triggering specific devices after a certain period.
A practical example: Patrolling point alarm output. Security personnel must swipe their security card at the site every hour. If there is no card swipe for over an hour, an alarm will be triggered at the security booth. If there is no card swipe for over three hours, an alarm will be triggered at the management center. This setup achieves different conditional alarms at multiple locations for different durations.

Instruction Explanation:

• Indexes 000-004 form the 24-hour timer logic
• Index 005-006 control the security booth alarm output
• Index 007-008 control the management center alarm output
• Index 000: TMR 000 cycles every 60 seconds
• Index 001: (seconds) When TMR 000 = 60, Counter CNT 001 increments by 1
• Index 002: (minutes) When CNT 001 = 60, Counter CNT 001 resets
• Index 003: (hours) When CNT 001 = 60, Counter CNT 002 increments by 1
• Index 004: (days) When CNT 002 = 24, Counter CNT 002 resets
• Index 005: When CNT 002 > 0, it indicates that more than 1 hour has passed without a  security card swipe, triggering the alarm at the security booth (output Y₀)
• Index 006: On-site security mainframe relay controls input point X₆. When triggered, it resets CNT 002 to 0, stopping the security booth/management center alarm outputs.
• Index 007: When CNT 002 > 2, it indicates that more than 3 hours have passed without a security card swipe, triggering the alarm at the management center (output Y₁)
• Index 008: The management center has an external alarm cancel button controlling input point X₇. When triggered, it resets CNT 002 to 0, stopping the security  booth/management center alarm outputs.
