Timer threshold on switch

[j.jacques34]

Hello,

First of all, excuse me, but I do not speak German and can not find a forum in French.
After a very long time using my MC3030 and MC4000, I bought a PROFI TX16 Master Edition (Update 3.49) and this is a big change.

In the learning phase I encounter a question to which I do not find an answer in the documentation.

I have assigned a 3 position switch as control element "GAS".

I awarded a stopwatch, down counter, triggered by this same switch.

But the countdown only triggers when the comment item is 100%

I would like it to trigger at a preset percentage (from the central position).

For a "proportional" control element I found (Setup / Assign Interr./Com. EC) and MagicSwitch.

But in (Setup / Assign Interr./ EC Switch) the 3 position switch, which is used as a control element, does not appear in the list so it is impossible to choose a threshold!

So how do we get that way?

Second question, which is related to the first and it is possible to see a 3 position switch used as a control element and so be able to modify the thresholds of each position?

Thank you in advance for your reply
Best regards

Hello,
for the stopwatch you can use a MagicSwitch.
In the setting of the MagicSwitch you have to set motor on position or middle position of the 3 position switch

I tried this, but I could not get the timer to be on in the center and one side position, i.e. off,on,on. What am I doing wrong?

Hello,
sorry, you are right Frank, my fault. I did not test this.
The right way is to set the MagicSwitch MS is on when the motor switch is off.
Then set the MS for the timer and push the rev button. I testet this and it works. The timer works on middle and full throttle position of the switch.

Hi, can you post your magicswitch set up, I tried again and couldn't get the timer to run on middle an full positions, thanks

Hi,
this is the MS setup.

The position of the Motorswitch is Motor off

This is the switch asignment

It shows the motor off position. You have to reverse the MS after asigning.

It was reversing the Magicswitch in the timer assignment, that I'd missed, works fine now, thanks
