Sequencer object step timers

Timers can either be used on their own or in combination with triggers to fulfill a certain processing requirement.

Simple Timer

A Simple timer is started when the step becomes active. When the timer elapses, the condition is set to true.

Cyclic Timers

Cyclic Timers are pulse timers that evaluate to true for one scan at a certain time each month, each week, each day, each hour or each minute.

Cyclic timers do not retain the fired state. If a cyclic timer event did not lead to a firing condition due to combinations with triggers, the cyclic timer enters the non-firing state until the next cyclic timer event occurs.
