Holds the last intermediate time before the power supply failure or the release of the start signal. The time continues to run towards the setpoint when the power supply or start signal returns. Up/down counter Switches on certain days and at certain times. Switches independently of the date. Displays any desired character strings with time and counter actual values or AD-converted data. The analog value is evaluated with these bits in the comparator (ZEN-10C_DR-D only). Compares the actual values of timers (T), holding timers (#) and counters (C) with each other or with a constant. In RUN mode the integral command keys generate an "ON" signal in the program (DE LUXE type only).

Features

The ZEN programmable logic module provides a total of 10 I/O points (6 inputs and 4 outputs). It has two types of controllers: LCD type: with display screen and keypad. LED type: without display screen and without operating keypad.

1.1 Main Features

The following are some of the most important features: Capacity to carry out small scale automatic control at low cost. Ladder diagram programming directly in the LCD type CPUs is possible. Maximum program capacity of 96 lines. Very small dimensions: 90 x 70 x 56 mm. Easy to set up and reduced wiring time. Upgradable up to 18 inputs and 16 outputs using 3 expansion modules. Protection against power supply faults (battery optional). Programs easily copied using optional memory cassette. Programming and monitoring by computer. Large switch capacity up to 8A /contact with 250 VAC. Direct AC inputs between 110 and 240 VAC. Equipped with 8 configurable timers in 4 operating modes and 3 timer ranges. Also equipped with 8 counters which can work either inclined or declined. Clock-calendar functions. 2 analog inputs in voltage mode (0 to 10 V). Possibility of configuring input filters to avoid noise influence. The program can be protected by a password. Screen menus displayed in 6 languages.

3.4 Protecting Programs

ZEN has a password function, used to prevent incorrect use of the ladder program or to prevent manipulation of settings made by the controller. The password code may comprise the range 0000 to 9999 (4 decimal numbers). The password prevents entry to the following points: Editing ladder programs Monitorng ladder programs Changing or erasing the password Setting the input filter Setting the node number

The Password screen is displayed immediately any of the different options is selected from the menu. If the password is correct, access to the screen requested will be given. If not, access will be denied.

3.7 Stabilizing Input Operations

If the ZEN external input fluctuates, it is possible that the operations will be unstable. To solve this, ZEN is able to filter inputs to stablilize the signal. The input filters can be set separately, either for the CPU inputs or for each I/O expansion unit. Select Other/ Input Filter PASSWORD CONTRAST BACKLIGHT INPUT FILTER Press the OK key to display the input filter setting menu.

Programming Functions

7.1 Timers (T) and Holding timers (#)

ZEN has the capacity to use 8 normal timers and 4 holding timers. Timers Holding Timers The present value of the current timer is reset when ZEN switches from Run mode to Stop mode or when the power supply is turned off. The present value of the timer will be maintained even when ZEN switches from Run mode to Stop mode or when the power supply is turned off. The time will continue running when the input 'trigger' is in ON mode again. The ON status of the timer bit will also be maintained. It is only supported by the holding timers at connection.

Timer Operation (T0 to T7)

Timer Type X Timer at connection

Operation Output is activated when the set time elapses on the input being triggered.

Applications Delay operations in On-status

Trigger input Reset input Setting Present value 0 Timer bit

Output is activated from when input switches to ON mode until the set time elapses.

Trigger input Reset input Setting Present value 0 Timer bit

Useful for timers, lighting or ventilation fans

Flashing pulse timer

The set timer bit switches the selected time to ON mode when input changes from OFF mode to ON mode.

Trigger input Reset input Setting Present value 0 Timer bit

Useful for repetitive operations when the operation to be carried out requires the same time period

Flashing pulse timer

The set timer bit switches repeatedly from ON mode to OFF mode, while input is in ON mode

Up to 8 counters can be used in incremental or decremental mode. The present or current value (PV) of each counter and the status of the bits of each counter (ON/OFF) are maintained even when the operation mode changes or when there is no power supply. The counter bit switches to ON mode when the count value (PV) exceeds the set value (present value = set value).
