Cards 2A, 2 with the marks thus marked
When B is read by the card reader 3, the program in which the operation pattern corresponding to the specific pattern number [1] is executed is preferentially created on the specified year, month, and day. On a particular day, the operation of the first circuit is at 9 o'clock and the off time is at 18 o'clock, and the second circuit is at 8 o'clock and 20 o'clock. The operation of is executed.

The card 2A or 2B thus filled in is read in the same manner as in the conventional card type program timer. However, the waveform-shaped output of each optical sensor of the card reader 3 is directly input to the signal processing circuit 13 including a microcomputer without passing through the multiplexer, through the comparator circuit in the card reader 3.

Next, the overall operation of the embodiment will be described based on the flow chart shown in FIG. First, when the power is turned on, all output signals are in the "H" state, and this state continues except for the signals that are automatically output, and the internal RAM of the signal processing circuit 13 and the external RAM 14 are all cleared. After this clearing, no other input is accepted or output until the adjustment switch S ₂ of the operation panel 1 is operated.

When the adjustment switch S ₂ is operated, the initialization is performed by shifting to the initial mode and shifting to the normal operation. In the next timer mode, each function of the clock, the timer output, and the time signal output works, and the clock function has a function of displaying the current time, displaying the date, and the like on the current time display unit 4, The timer output function is a function for outputting an "ON" or "OFF" signal 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 time signal of a chime sound of a selected song at a preset time from the chime unit 8 for a set time.

After entering the timer mode, the time is adjusted by the time adjustment routine, and when the card reader 3 performs the reading operation, the program mode is entered to activate the card reader input function, the card reader control function and the like. The card reader input function is a function for the card reader 3 to read the marks written on the cards 2A and 2B and to set the timer program necessary for the timer operation.

The card reader control function is used for the card 2
It is a function of controlling a timing signal when reading the marks written on A and 2B, a data signal, a control signal of a motor of the card reader, and the like. FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the contents of the program mode. When the card reading by the card reader is started, the signal processing circuit 13 starts taking in the mark, and the card being read is the first card 2A. Whether or not it is the second card 2B is determined by the presence / absence of the annual pattern setting card determination mark TY.

In the case of the first card 2A, "ON" according to the preset definition based on the position of the mark taken in.
A program for a timer function such as time, “off” time, circuit number, and circuit condition 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 timer function program corresponding to the year, month, day, and type of operation pattern according to the definition is created based on the position of the captured mark and created. Program in external RAM 14
To complete the setting of the program.

As described above, the program is created and stored after the mark is captured. However, the following processing may be sequentially performed while the mark is captured, or each processing may be collectively performed. May be combined. Further, in the embodiment, two types of cards 2A and 2B are used, but the program of the timer function is divided by function and assigned to three or more types of cards, and the mark of each card can be taken in to set the program. You may do it.

The program confirmation mode in FIG. 8 is a mode for confirming the set program, and the program set by the timer function is displayed on the current time display section 4 by using the operation switch of the operation panel 1. Further, in the low power consumption mode shown in FIG. 8, 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 uses a power source for compensation of the power supply circuit 11 to perform low power consumption operation. 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 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 as the current time. Display switch S ₁ of the operation panel 1, for each press, the display of the current time display unit 4, the current time of day as shown in FIG. 10, hour, minute, and a display of seconds, year 11, month , Signal display circuit 1 to switch the signal to display
