View Full Version : Function opposite of blackout delay

I’m looking for the opposite function off the blackout delay. In a normal situation the socket is only active a few minutes every day. After a power shortage (so when the profilux (re)starts) I would like to start the socket for a number of minutes, even when the program says the power is off.
I can’t get this to work, so does anyone knows if this is possible?
Thanks!

sorry, but this function is not available

That’s too bad:(. I tried looking for some combination in Programmable logic, but I couldn’t find any good combination for this.
It doesn't look that difficult though, de black-out delay does kind of the same thing. It will be a great feature to add to the Profilux ;)

PS: There isn’t an option that a timer or something starts at the moment de Profilux (re)starts? Then I can combine that in Programmable logic.

I think that this can be done with some programmable logic and a timer.
Create a timer that is on for the periods that you want
Timer 1
set times that you want the device to turn on (In a normal situation the socket is only active a few minutes every day), so 9:00 am to 9:04 am and 5:00 pm to 5:04 pm for example.
Create two programmable logics
Programmable Logic 1
This PL should leave its output low for the delay time specified, then changes the output to high.
Function: Delayed On
Input: Always On
Time: 240s (time you want the socket on for in seconds on a system restart)
Programmable Logic 2
This PL takes the input of PL1, inverts it (starts high then after the delay period goes low), and compares it to the timer 1 function. If either the timer 1 or PL1 (inverted) are high, then it sets its output to be high.
Function: Or
Input 1: Programmable Logic 1 (Invert)
Input 2: Timer 1
Set a socket to be controlled by Programmable Logic 2
Socket 1: Programmable Logic 2
I have worked this through in GHL Control Centre, but not tested the operation on a power cycle of a controller. So it is based on the assumption that the delayed on function will work on a power cycle.
Hope this helps or at least gets you close to what you are looking to acheive.

Exactly what I was looking for. Works like a charm :). Many, many thanks!!
