By marking in this way, the first timer switch circuit (not shown) connected to the channel 1 is set to have an entrance time of 13:00 and an off time of 1 on Saturday.
It can be set as 9 o'clock.

Following this, when setting the program for Sunday, the [day] of the second on-day designation column 206 (column of time 3 in FIG. 5) of the second weekly program card 2a marked as described above. Mark in the second on-time designation column 205 (column for time information 3 in FIG. 5) and [0] in the first digit of [hours] and [0] in the first digit of [minutes]. To do.

Further, the second off day designation field 206
Mark the [day] of (timetable 4 column of FIG. 5), and set the second off time designation field 205 (timetable 4 column of FIG. 5) to the tens digit [2]. Mark the ones [0] and [minutes] ones [0].

By setting in this way, the keep output of channel 1 is set to the full cut-off state from Monday to Friday, and the operation is set to set the input time on Saturday to 13:00 and the cut-off time to 19:00, and set the input time on Sunday. It is possible to set an operation in which the time is 9:00 and the time is off.

Next, the setting of the annual program will be described.

Since the program for Saturday is set here, the annual program card 2b as shown in FIG.
Day designation column 2 provided as the program designation column 210
Mark the soil of 10a.

In this example, since a program for each year starting from April of this year is designated, [now] corresponding to this year in the year designation column 213 and [4] in the month designation column 212 are marked. By this designation, the start date of the date designation field 211 becomes April of this year. That is, in FIG. 6, the date designation field 211 on the left end corresponds to April of this year, and is 1 in the direction of arrow A thereafter.
Monthly May, June, July, August, September, October, 11
Month, December, next January, February, March and each date designation column 2
Eleven months will be set.

As described above, since the start year / month of the date designation field can be set to the first month of the year, the date designation field can be set according to the year, and the setting mistake of the annual program can be prevented. it can.

The date designation field 211 set as described above
This year's April 25th, September 4th and October 13th will be marked as shown in Figure 6.

By setting the annual program card in this way, April 25, September 4, and October 1 of this year
The program will run on Saturday the 3rd.

Next, the setting of summer time will be described.

Specifically, summer time is set to June 1 of this year.
A case where the change time is set as one hour from 2:00 on the second day to September 26 will be described.

In this case, as shown in FIG. 7, with the summer time designation card 2c, the [now] and [6] corresponding to June of this year in the summer time start year / month designation column 216a corresponding to June 12 of this year are set. Mark and mark the tens digit [1] and the tens digit [2] of the summer time start date designation field 216b. Then, it corresponds to September of this year in the summer time end date designation field 216c corresponding to September 26 of this year [now]
And [9] and daylight saving time end date designation field 216
Mark the tens place [2] and the ones place [6] of d. Subsequently, the digit [2] of the hour and the digit [0] of the minute are marked in the daylight saving time start time designation field 216e, and [1] in the daylight saving time change time designation field 216f is marked.

In this way, when setting the summer time, it is possible to set the transition time, so that the start time and end time of the operation program are not set in the time between the transition time of summer time and the summer time change time. By setting the execution time, it is possible to prevent runaway, non-execution, and duplicate execution of the operation program for which the operation time is set as described above.

Next, the operation will be described.

The weekly program card 2a is indicated by the arrow X in FIG.
When inserted into the card reader 1 from the direction, the card reader 1 drives a motor in a card feeding device (not shown) to feed the inserted card 2, and the photo interrupter displays the weekly program card identification mark 209. By detecting it, it is determined that the weekly program card 2a has been inserted, and according to a preset reading program,
The set mark data is read and the read data is set in the program storage circuit 3 via the buffer in the control circuit 13. Since this operation is performed by the conventional technique, detailed description will be omitted.

Next, the operation when the annual program card 2b is inserted into the card reader 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

When the annual program card 2b is inserted into the card reader 1 from the direction of the arrow Y in FIG. 3, the card reader 1 drives a motor in a card feeding device (not shown) to insert the card 2 into the card reader 1. Is sent (step 8a), the photo interrupter causes the annual program card identification mark 21
When 5 is detected, it is determined that the annual program card 2a is inserted, and the read data is stored in the buffer in the control circuit 13 (step 8b).

The control circuit 13 reads out the start year / month designated by the month designation column 212 and the year designation column 213 from the data stored in the buffer, and the annual program storage circuit 4 corresponding to the read designated start date / month. The address designating the storage area is obtained (step 8c).

Based on the obtained address, the control circuit 13 sequentially stores the program of the specific day for the first month read from the date designation field 211 in the annual program storage circuit 4 (step 8d). Specifically, only the day-of-week data of the day-of-the-week program to be operated on the specific day is stored in the storage area of the specific day.

When the storage for one month is completed, the control circuit 1
3 updates the address for one month, and next date designation field 21
The programs for a specific day read from 1 are sequentially stored in the annual program storage circuit 4 (step 8).
e).

Thereafter, until the processing for 12 months is completed,
When steps 12d and 8e are repeated and the processing for 12 months is completed, the reading operation is completed (step 8f).

In the above, weekly program card 2
Although the example of setting the program for each day of the week was shown using a,
It is also possible to set a special program that is not bound by the day of the week. Then, in the annual program card, it is possible to specify a special program and set it to operate on a specific day.

For example, if the second timer switch circuit (not shown) connected to channel 2 is set as the special program number 1 with the entry time set to 9 o'clock and the turn-off time set to 17:00, a weekly program Mark [1] in the number designation column 201b of the special program of the card 2a, mark [2] in the channel designation column 202 corresponding to channel 2, and mark [out] in the keep of the output designation column 203. Then, the first on-time designation field 205 (see FIG.
[Time] 1 column [9] and [minutes] 1s digit [0] are marked, and the first off-time designation column 205 (FIG. 4). [Time] 2 column) [1] of the tens of [1] and [7] of the 1s of [1], and [0] of the 1s of the [minute]
Mark.

To operate this special program number 1 on a desired day, mark [1] in the special program number designation field 210b of the annual program card 2b, and set the desired date designation field in the same manner as above. It can be set by marking the day.

Next, the operation when the summer time designation card 2c is inserted into the card reader 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

When the summer time designation card 2c is inserted into the card reader 1 from the direction of arrow Z in FIG. 4, the card reader 1 drives the motor in the card feeding device (not shown) to insert the card 2 into the card reader 1. Is sent (step 9a), and the photo interrupter detects the daylight saving time designation card discrimination mark 219, whereby the daylight saving time designation card 2
It is determined that c has been inserted, and the read data is stored in the buffer in the control circuit 13 (step 9b).

When the read data is the summer time program (step 9c), the control circuit 13 stores the summer time start time data and the summer time change time data stored in the buffer in the RAM in the control circuit 13.
Stored in the daylight saving time data storage area provided in the buffer (step 9d), the address designating the memory area of the yearly program memory circuit 4 corresponding to the daylight saving time start date and end date data stored in the buffer is obtained, and the yearly program memory is stored. The summer time start data and the summer time end data are stored in the designated storage areas of the circuit 4 (the storage areas corresponding to the summer time start date and the summer time end date) (step 9e).

When the read data is not the summer time program, the program setting operation as described above is executed (step 9f).

Next, the operation of executing the program will be described with reference to FIG. The operation described below is performed every minute.

When the time in the count storage circuit 5 is updated by 1 minute (step 10a), if the current time is 0:00 (step 10b), the control circuit 13 updates the date and day of the week in the count storage circuit 5 (step 10b). 10c), the address designating the storage area of the annual program storage circuit 4 corresponding to the changed date is obtained (step 10d).

The control circuit 13 determines whether or not an annual program is designated in the storage area corresponding to the obtained address (step 10e), that is, whether day data of the day program to be operated or number data of the special program is stored. to decide.

In step 10e, if the day of the week data of the day of the week program to be operated or the number data of the special program is stored, the RAM in the control circuit 13
The stored day-of-week data or number data is set in the execution program setting section (step 10f).

In step 10e, if the day data of the day program to be operated or the number data of the special program is not stored, the RAM in the control circuit 13
The day-of-the-week data of the day is set in the execution program setting section of the inside (step 10g).

When the setting of the execution program setting section is completed, the execution address for reading the program corresponding to the data set in the execution program setting section from the program memory circuit 3 is reset and the operation is completed (step 10h).

The execution address is for reading the program corresponding to the data set in the execution program setting section from the program storage circuit 3 in order of time, and is reset in step 10h to correspond to the set data. The reading is started from the beginning of the program to be executed.

As described above, when setting a yearly program on a yearly basis, the beginning of the year can be set to the first month of the year on the program card and the mark can be entered. By setting them in the order of date, the marks can be entered against the yearly planning table, etc., so it is possible to eliminate mark mistakes when setting the annual program.

In the above, the start date of the date designation field 211 is set to April of this year, but this is not limited to the above, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, February of next year is the date designation column 21.
When the start year and month of 1 are set, [Next] corresponding to the next year in the year specification field 213 and [2] in the month specification field are marked.

Next, the summer time shift operation will be described with reference to FIG. The operation described below is performed every minute.

When the time of the count storage circuit 5 is updated by 1 minute,
An address designating a storage area of the annual program storage circuit 4 corresponding to the stored date is obtained.

Summer time start data is stored in the storage area corresponding to the obtained address (step 11
a) When the time of the count storage circuit 5 coincides with the summer time start time stored in the summer time data storage area in the control circuit 13 (step 11b), the control circuit 13 sets the time of the count storage circuit 5 in the control circuit 13. The daylight saving time change time stored in the daylight saving time data storage area is advanced (step 11c) to obtain daylight saving time.

Summer time end data is stored in the storage area corresponding to the obtained address (step 11
d) When the time of the count storage circuit 5 matches the time of adding the summer time change time to the summer time start time stored in the summer time data storage area in the control circuit 13 (step 11e), the control circuit 13 causes the count storage circuit to operate. 5
Is delayed by the summer time change time stored in the summer time data storage area in the control circuit 13 to reset the summer time (step 11f).

In this way, since the daylight saving time shift time can be arbitrarily set, the operation can be performed by setting the daylight saving time shift time at a time that does not affect the operation start time and operation end time of the set operation program. Inconveniences such as program runaway can be resolved. For example, the summer time change time is 2:00 to 5: 0 in 1 hour.
If the operation start time and operation end time of the operation program are not set to 0, the summer time start time is set to AM 3:00 to AM in consideration of the summer time change time.
By setting the time between 4:00 and 3:00 or 3:30, runaway of the operation program can be prevented.

In the above, the summer time is set by using the summer time designation card, but not limited to the above,
As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a weekday program card or an annual program card may be provided with a daylight saving time designation field for setting.

Further, the same effect as above can be obtained even if the date designation field for each month of the annual program card 2b is arranged in two stages.

The setting on the card is not limited to the mark, and punch holes may be used.

Further, although the liquid crystal display device is used as the display unit in this example, the display unit is not limited to this, and can be appropriately changed.

[0078]

According to the present invention, since the start time of daylight saving time can be arbitrarily set, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience such as non-execution and duplicate execution of operation programs at the start of daylight saving time. Specifically, for example, the daylight saving time change time is 0:05 between 0:00 and 4:00 in one hour.
If only the operation program that starts the operation at 0:50 and ends at 0:50 is set, the daylight saving time start time is set to 2:00 in consideration of the daylight saving time change time, and the runaway of the operation program or the operation program You can prevent non-execution.
