Sequence
programming
Sequence programming is a feature of the XMP 2600 that enables it to automatically
change states and create dynamic outputs without the use of a remote controller.
Sequence program capabilities
The sequence program feature has the following capabilities:
A sequence program is made out of steps, each capable of introducing a
delay and performing an operation.
The sequence program can have up to 99 steps.
The delay a step can introduce may be as long as 9 Hours, 59 Minutes
and 59 Seconds and is specified with a resolution of a second.
The sequence program state changes are mostly based on the 10 storage
areas that were discussed in the previous chapter (see: store and recall).
A “simple” step executes within 0.1 second. For recall steps, add about
0.2 second for each installed power module.
While running, the user can monitor and control the execution of the
sequence program.
Preparing the sequence program
The sequence program is prepared in the sequence program editing mode but some
preparations should be made before starting program editing.
Prepare the
states used
by the
program
The sequence program uses pre-created states to produce its state changes.
To create a state to be used by the sequence program proceed as follows:
Program all the power modules to create the outputs and conditions you
want a state to have.
Store the state you have created in one of the ten storage areas.
You do not need to create a state where all the outputs are off
because the sequence program itself can do this.
