And the tenth and first place

Mark the mark entry frame of [0]. In other words, it is a so-called day program.

Next, a description will be given of a case where an annual program for applying a time pattern of Sunday to a "specific day" of the year is created. First, January 1, January 15, May 3, May 5, September 15, October 10, and November 3 of the “special day” to which the Sunday time pattern is applied Sunday time pattern is applied repeatedly every year, from July 16
If the time pattern of Sunday is applied only this year on July 31 and all of August, a card entry as shown in FIG. 5 is obtained.

In the second card 2B shown in FIG. 5, the time pattern specification field 24B of the time pattern specification field 24
[Date], January 1 and January 15 apply the time of Sunday repeatedly every year, so the mark entry frame in the [Continuation] column 22 of the yearly program continuation designation column for January and the time pattern of Sunday Applies to the "specified date" specification field January day specification field 2
8 [1] and [15] mark entry frames, similarly, the [continue] mark entry frame of the yearly program continuation designation column 22 of May, and the “specific date” designation column to which the Sunday time pattern is applied The mark entry frame of [3] and [5] in the day designation column 28 of May and the [continuation] of the yearly continuation designation column 22 of the annual program in September
Mark entry frame, the mark entry frame of [15] of the September day designation column 28 of the “specific date” designation column to which the time pattern of Sunday is applied, and the continuation designation column 2 of the October annual program
2, the mark entry frame of [2], the mark entry frame of [10] in the October date designation column 28 of the "specific date" designation column to which the Sunday time pattern is applied, and the continuous designation of the November annual program The mark entry frame of [joint] in the column 22 and the mark entry frame of [3] in the November day designation column 28 of the "specific date" designation column to which the Sunday time pattern is applied, and the Sunday time pattern are applied. July specific date column 28 in the "Specific date" specific column
[16] to [31] and the all day designation column 3 for one month in August
Mark each box of 0. Since the time pattern of Sunday in July and August is executed only this year, the time mark pattern of the “continuation” mark box 22 in the continuation designation section 22 of the annual program in July and August is not marked.

As described above, when the program contents are specified on the card 2A, the first circuit (first timer switch circuit)
And the weekly program of the second circuit (second timer switch circuit) is set. In the first circuit, the load operates from 9:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday, and 9 The load operates from hour to 13:00, all days are off on Sunday, and the second circuit operates from 17:00 on Friday to 7:00 on Monday. By setting a weekly program, a time pattern for each day of the week from Sunday to Saturday is automatically created.
The weekly program set in this way is repeatedly executed every week.

On the other hand, when the program contents are specified on the card 2B as described above, January 1, January 15, May 3,
May 5, July 16-July 31, all August, September 1
On the 5th, the 10th of October, and the 3rd of November, the time pattern of Sunday is executed prior to the weekly program. Therefore,
On the “specific day” in which the above-mentioned Sunday time pattern is executed, the first circuit is in the all-day off state, and the second circuit is in the all-day-in state. However, since the annual program is not continued from July 16 to July 31 and all of August, once the time pattern of Sunday is executed, the next year is not executed. When not marked in [Continuation] of the yearly program continuation designation column 22 for each month, every year, every week, every month, every month, or every year The data is erased each time it elapses.

Next, a case where a special time pattern is applied will be described with reference to the examples shown in FIGS. FIG. 6 shows an example of an operation in which the time pattern of the first circuit having the special time pattern number 1 is 9 o'clock and the off time is 18 o'clock, and FIG. An example of an operation in which the pattern is set at 8:00 for the entry time and 20:00 for the off time is shown.

First, in the case of FIG. 6, the mark entry frame of [1] of the special time pattern number designation field 21 of the first card 2A is marked, and the mark entry frame of [1] of the circuit number designation field 16 to be operated is set. Since the output of the first circuit is designated to the timer by the weekly program, the output designation column 1
7 [Timer], and in the time designation field 19 of the first timer “ON”, the first place of “hour”

[9] Mark entry frame and tens and

Mark the mark entry frame of [0], and in the time designation field 19 of "OFF" of the first timer, mark the entry frame of the tens place [1] and the first place [8] of "hour", Tenth and first place of "minute"

When the mark in the mark entry frame of [0] is marked, the program designation of the special pattern of the first circuit of special time number 1 is completed. Here, the time every day designation field 20 is not marked.

In the above case, [Timer] in the output designation field 17
However, if the output has already been specified in the weekly program, the mark may be omitted.
Similarly, the sounding time (pulse width and chime) and the sequential activation may not be marked if specified by the weekly program. Next, in the case of FIG. 7, the mark is put on the mark entry frame of [1] in the special time pattern number designation field 21 of the first card 2A, and the mark is put on the mark entry frame of [2] of the circuit number designation field 16 to be operated. And the second
Since the circuit designates the output of the timer by the weekly program, mark [Timer] in the output designation column 17 and further, in the time designation column 19 of the first timer "ON", the first [ 8] and the tenth and first place of “minute”

Mark the mark entry frame of [0], and in the time designation field 19 of “OFF” of the first timer, [2] of the tenth place of “hour” and the first place

[0] mark entry frame and tens and

When the mark in the mark entry frame of [0] is marked, the program designation of the special pattern of the second circuit of the special time bar number 2 is completed. Here, the time every day designation field 20 is not marked.

The special time pattern is created as in the examples of FIGS. 6 and 7, but the time pattern of the special time pattern number 1 is changed to February 1, March 1, April 1, May 1, June 1
Sun, July 1, September 1, October 1, November 1, 1
An example applied to the “specific date” of February 1 will be described with reference to FIG. Here, of the “special day”, February 1, March 1,
April 1, June 1, July 1, October 1, November 1
Sun, December 1 is applied every year, and September 1 of this year
Sun and May 1 of next year will be limited to one time only.

The card shown in FIG. 8 is the second card 2B
[1] in the special time pattern number specification field 24A of the time pattern specification field 24 and the February year's annual program continuation specification field to apply the time pattern of the special time pattern number 1 repeatedly on February 1 every year. Similarly, the mark entry frame of [22] and the mark entry frame of [1] in the February day designation field 28 of the "specific date" designation field to which the time pattern of the special time pattern number 1 is applied are the same as March. April, June, July, 10
Month, November Annual program continuation designation column 22
Mark entry frame and the “special day” designation field to which the time pattern of special time pattern number 1 is applied in March, April, June,
In July, October, and November, the mark entry frame in the day designation column 28 [1], the September program of the yearly program continuation designation column 22 [joint], and the special time pattern number 1 The mark entry frame of [1] in the September day designation column 28 of the "specific date" designation column to which the time pattern is applied, and the [joint] mark entry frame of the annual program continuation designation column 22 of May, "Specific date" to apply the time pattern of time pattern number 1
A mark is entered in the mark entry frame of [1] in the day designation column 28 of May in the designation column and the mark entry frame of the next year designation column [next] in May.

When the program contents are designated by the cards 2A and 2B in this manner, February 1, March 1, April 1,
May 1, June 1, July 1, next year, September 1 of this year
On the day, October 1, November 1, and December 1, the time pattern of the special time pattern number 1 is executed with priority over the weekly program. Therefore, the “special day” on which the time pattern of the special time pattern number 1 is executed is 9 for the first time.
From 18:00 to 18:00, the second circuit goes from 8:00 to 2
It stays on until midnight. However, since the annual program is not continued on September 1 of this year and May 1 of next year, once the time pattern of the special time pattern number 1 is executed, the next year is not executed.

The reading of the card 2A or 2B written in this way is performed in the same manner as a conventional card-type program timer. However, the output of each optical sensor whose waveform has been shaped by the card reader 3 is directly input to the signal processing circuit 13 composed of a microcomputer through a comparator circuit in the card reader 3 without passing through a multiplexer.

Next, the overall operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the power is turned on, all the output signals are set to the "H" state, and this state continues except for the signals that are automatically output, and the internal RAM and the external RAM 14 of the signal processing circuit 13 are all cleared. This after clearing, until adjusting switch S ₂ of the operation panel 1 is operated, any other input also not accept, not even if the output.

[0035] When the adjustment switch S ₂ is operated, the process proceeds to the initial mode, initialization is performed to shift to the normal operation. The next timer mode is a mode in which the clock, timer output, and time signal output functions are performed. The clock function includes a function for displaying the current time and a function for causing the date and time to be displayed on the current time display unit 4. The timer output function is a function for outputting a signal of “ON” or “OFF” to the relay drive circuit 7 at a set time according to a preset program.

The time signal output function is a function of outputting a signal of a time set at a set time to a relay drive circuit according to a preset program. Further, the function is to output a signal of a time signal based on a chime sound of a selected music piece at a preset time from the chime unit 8 for a preset time. (Since the chime tune is not specified in the embodiment, there is no output from the chime unit 8.) After entering the timer mode, if there is a time adjustment, the time is adjusted in the time adjustment mode, and the reading operation of the card reader 3 is performed. If there is, after the program mode, the card reader input function, the card reader control function, and the like are activated. The card input function is a function in which the card reader 3 reads a mark written on the cards 2A and 2B, and sets a timer program necessary for a timer operation.

The card reader control function is provided for the card 2
It is a function for controlling a timing signal, a data signal, a control signal for a motor of the card reader 3 and the like when reading marks written on A and 2B. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the contents of the program mode. When the card reading by the card reader is started, the signal processing circuit 13 starts taking the mark, and the card being read is the first card 2A. Whether it is the second card 2B or not is determined by the presence or absence of the annual pattern setting card determination mark YM.

In the case of the first card 2A, based on the position of the fetched mark, "ON" is performed in accordance with a preset definition.
A program for a timer function such as time, “off” time, circuit number, circuit conditions, etc. is created, and the created program is stored in the external RAM 14 to complete the setting of the program. In the case of the second card 2B, a program of a timer function corresponding to the type of year, month, day and time pattern of a specific day of the year is defined according to the definition based on the position of the imported mark, and this created. External RAM 14
To complete the program setting. When creating a program for the timer function, the program must be able to determine the presence or absence of a mark in the [joint] field of the yearly program continuation designation field 22 and to determine whether to assign or delete the program after execution of the program. Needless to say.

As described above, after the mark is fetched, the program is created and stored. During the fetching of the mark, the following processing may be performed sequentially, or each processing may be performed collectively. They may be combined. The program confirmation mode in FIG. 9 is a mode for confirming the set program. The program set by the timer function is displayed on the current time display section 4 using the operation switch of the operation panel 1.

When the annual program is executed, the mode shifts to the annual program erasure determination mode. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the contents of the annual program erasure determination mode. When the execution of the annual program is started,
Specified time (for example, one day (24 hours), one week, one month,
(1 year) has passed (determined that the specified period has passed, but day change, week change, month change, year change may be used). If the specified period has not passed,
Return to the main routine and determine if there is an executed annual program to be erased if the specified period has elapsed.If there is no executed annual program to be erased, return to the main routine and have an executed annual program to be erased. If so, the executed annual program is deleted and the process returns to the main routine. However, even if the executed annual program is deleted, the first card 2
The time pattern based on the special time PATA @ NN number set in A is not erased.

Further, in the low power consumption mode shown in FIG. 9, when a power failure detection signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 12 to the signal processing circuit 13, the signal processing circuit 13 performs a low power consumption operation on the power supply for compensation of the power supply circuit 11. This is an operation mode in which the low power consumption operation is canceled when the power failure detection signal disappears. Next, the display of the current time and the adjustment of the time will be described.

First, since the annual card type program timer of the present invention has a function of setting an annual program, it is necessary to display year, month, day, day of the week, hour, minute, and second for the current time. The display switch S ₁ of the operation panel 1 is
Every time the button is pressed, a signal for switching the display of the current time display section 4 between the day of the week, hour, minute, and second of the current time as shown in FIG. 12 and the display of year, month, and day as shown in FIG. This is given to the processing circuit 13.

[0043] When the current time, the minute, in the case of performing the adjustment of the second, first displayed day of the week in the switch S _1, hour, minute, and set the display of seconds, the adjustment switch S _2, and when the switch S ₃ the time by pressing and holding the same time, the minutes to press simultaneously the and adjustment switch s ₂ and the minute switch s _4, to adjust the seconds by pressing and holding the same time and an adjustment switch s ₂ and the second switch s _5.
