Drum sequencer with dynamic times

[cantcliff]

Is it possible to dynamically change the drum step time through user input?

 

For example, link it to an MI so that the time is adjustable based on recipe, or would I need to use a 0 time step and a timer to control moving to the next step?

Hello,

 

Thank you for using our Unitronics Forum.

 

Unfortunately, the time duration in the drum sequencer configuration is not indirect.  You could create different configurations according to when recipe, the have the user just choose the recipe they are running to run the according drum.

 

The other option is as you stated above: use a timer entered by the operator to run the next step functions blocks.

You can define 00:00:00.00 time in DRUM, then use separate timer values for each DRUM step from Data Table.

Data Table will include sets of timers and other parameters for DRUM.

When timer ends - issue command "Go to next step" and DRUM will shange state.

This way you can use recipies.

Hello,

So the values in the Data Table are then timers which can be adjusted on the display by the operator?

Is it possible to give an example of how you make the link to this Data table?

I do this task this way: Put every step timer in Drum configuration to 00:00:00 and set an external timer to every step.
User can change the timer preset to desired value easily from display.
