Turning Relay on With Start Up

Post by Adam » Wed Jun 07, 2017 2:02 pm

Hi,
I am wanting to have the following events occur on an mpc -20 unit.

Control Powers Up

Relay 3 Turns On

Relay 3 stays on for 10 seconds

Relay 3 Turns Off

I would like this to run everytime the control is power cycled.

I was told to use Run On Event "Screen.ScreenReady"

This works great to turn on the relay if I use an activity program and use the following blocks.

START

Fire Actions "I0->Function On(RetractActuator) This is the name of my relay.

STOP

I have tried putting in a timer, a few different ways and cant get it to work for me.

Thanks for the help in advance.

It is usually easiest to use a state machine when you need to have a timer event.
