Definitions

  • the invention relates to a time switch with a memory program device with a display field, on which a digital time indicator, a weekday indicator, a gear selector indicator consisting of circularly arranged display segments and operating mode indicators are arranged, and with a control panel, on which keys are arranged, the actuation of which switches depending on a key actuation evaluation program in various operating states, setting the time switch and programming switch-on and switch-off times, and with a switch-time program memory in which the switch-on and switch-off times are to be stored.
  • Such a timer is known from EP 0 167 848 B1.
  • This has the disadvantage that four buttons and a switch are provided for its operational control and programming, with which operation is carried out in a complicated manner on a large number of different program branching paths, which leads in particular to difficulties if the time switch, as usual, only up to twice a year.
  • the various possible program states with the display means can only be represented in a confusing manner by means of flashing processes.
  • the program once entered is not non-destructive in the event of a power failure and against incorrect operation, which then requires reprogramming of the switching times.
  • the circular sector display device has a resolution of only 20 minutes for space reasons, and the programming of the switching times is directly connected to this coupled, since this sector display is used for user information when selecting the switching times via the number keys.
  • the keys are a cursor key, a count key and a program key, of which the cursor key cyclically switches the respective operating state with each actuation, namely a timer or manual mode, a weekday setting, an hour setting, a minute setting and of a programming mode, in a permanently subordinate operating state
  • the counting key is connected in a counting manner according to the operating state day digits with a weekday counter, hour digits with an hour counter, minute digits with a minute counter and programming mode with a transmission-linked hour and minute programming counter, the respectively associated
  • the contents of the counter are displayed on the digital time indicator or the weekday indicator, and in the programming mode the program point setting key continuously takes over each time it is pressed n causes the contents of this hour and minute program counter in the switching times program memory, the switching times stored in this way being alternately assigned to an on or an off state and each time the last saved switching on and off times were saved when the switching off time was saved assigned area is switched on by the display segments on the
  • the time switch is controlled in a known manner with a microprocessor through a non-destructive microprogram.
  • the control buttons and a timer are connected to this on the input side.
  • An LCD display device is provided on the output side, the display field of which is designed with symbols in accordance with the purpose of the controllable fields and the labeling.
  • the structural elements shown in the description such as counters, flags, comparators, etc., are ultimately expertly implemented in terms of function in the microprogram in conjunction with memory and register contents.
  • the three control buttons always have analog functions in the different operating modes, so the first button, the cursor button, is used to reach the next operating mode or the program function, the second button, the count button, to increase the counter readings for days of the week, hours and minutes both for the current Time entry as well as for the switching time programming and the third key, the program point setting key, in order to trigger prepared functions, i.e. to save a program time or to cause the time switch function to be overridden.
  • the counter to which the count key is operatively connected is shown by a flashing control of the associated display elements, as is common in digital clocks.
  • the switching times during programming are advantageously set using the digital clock and weekday display, so that the setting accuracy is one minute.
  • the display of the switch-on periods programmed for the specific day on the segment display only serves as an overview, since it is only accurate to 15 minutes, which means that the number of segments to be controlled is sensibly limited.
  • a program override to two different manual control modes is advantageously possible by switching to a so-called party mode when the program point setting button is briefly pressed in time switch mode, in which the switch contact is switched on and maintained until the next reversed programmed switching time is reached, and on the other hand with one long press of the program point setting button, a permanent contact switch-on of the switching contact is carried out and a subsequent short press of the program point set button results in a permanent contact switch off, and a subsequent long press of the program point set button returns to the programmed time switch mode.
  • a conspicuous flashing display of the manual control symbol is activated, and all or none of the segment displays are activated according to the contact switching status.
  • program protection it is provided on the one hand that there is no possibility of general deletion on the part of the user. Furthermore, the program memory is also stored without current. In this way, a desired program or a standard program for a specific application can be inserted in the factory or before the time switch is delivered, so that no programming work is required after installation.
  • the operating displays are advantageously designed as easy-to-understand symbols, such as the clock symbol for time switch operation and the hand symbol for overriding manual and permanent switching operation.
  • the letter identifiers for day, hour and minute correspond to the ISO standard; These symbols are indicated according to the current function with a controllable pointer of the display device.
  • the three keys are meaningfully labeled with an arrow for the program function advance, with a plus sign for increasing the counter and with a segment for setting or triggering a function, in particular the setting of the switching times represented by the controlled segments.
  • the keys can be contact switches or sensor keys, which can advantageously be arranged directly on the display device.
  • Fig. 1 shows a front of the timer, which carries the display panel (AF) and the control panel (BF).
  • the display panel (AF) is designed as an LCD display with the controllable panels shown hatched.
  • DME digital time display
  • WDA weekday indicator
  • AS shift selection indicator
  • SZA switching status display
  • a switching status display (SZA) which may be supplemented by the channel display (KAA) with channel numbers 1 and 2, and a time switch operating indicator (UBA) and a manual operating indicator (HBA) are arranged in the upper corner areas.
  • control panel has three control buttons (CK, ZK, PK), a corsor button (CK), a count button (ZK) and a program setting button (PK) and, if necessary, a channel selection button (KWK) if a second channel is available , ie a second control contact and associated storage space for a control program.
  • Fig. 2 shows a block diagram of the functions and Functional elements that illustrate the control program flow, which are embodied in the microprocessor.
  • the block diagram shows function groups in rectangular frames, buttons with circles and frames, indicators with double frames as well as AND-gates and OR-gates, which are available for signal bundles in multiple but only shown. Negated signals and their lines are each attached to the reference designation of the positive signal designated. If a quantity refers to two substates, both are each identified with a reference symbol and a slash between them.
  • the weekday indicator (WDA) and the time indicator (DTA) are acted upon, if there is no programming status (PN), by the current day, hour and minute counters (D1, H1, M1), which are controlled by the timer (CL) and are set according to the setting operating states (d, h, m) for the current day, the hour and minute by the count key (ZK) itself or a connected repeat circuit (W), or by the programming counters (D2, H2, M2) controlled when the programming operating state (P) is present, the respectively selected on or off time being shown on the indicators (WDA, DTA).
  • PN programming status
  • D1, H1, M1 hour and minute counters
  • One of the weekday and time indicators (WDA, DTA) is assigned to it by a flashing control (B) during the setting operating states (d, h, m).
  • the respective operating mode of one of the five operating modes are in a modulo five counter, the z. B. is shown as a feedback shift register, which each has only one flip-flop switched on, counting controlled by the cursor key (CT) and shown with the mode indicator (BAA).
  • the operating modes are: The timer / manual mode (U / H), the day setting (d), the hour setting (h), the minute setting (m) and programming (P).
  • the program point setting key (PK) In programming mode (P), the program point setting key (PK) continuously counts the daily program point counter (TPC) with the markers (T1 ... T4), which is alternately assigned to a switch-on time and a switch-off time for programming. If the program setting key (PK) is operated in combination with the cursor key (CK), the daily program point counter (TPC) is reset to the last switch-off time, at most, however, to the beginning of the day for the next switch-on time, with the corresponding times in the programming counters (H2, M2) can be transferred back from the program memory. When programming, the program point setting key (PK) transfers the contents of the program counters (H2, M2) to the program memory (SP).
