365 Day Real Time Clock Programming
The Dynalite Real Time Clock is found in many Dynalite products, including Load
Controllers and Control Panels, as well as being available as a stand alone Time
Clock. Products include:DDTC001, DTC602, DTCE602, DPP601,
DDRC810GLMOT, DDRC810DTGLMOT & DDMC802GLT. This is a technical
document that discusses the low level programming of the Clock. End users can also
program the clock in a user friendly way from a GUI in EP software, consult the EP
manual for details (f1). Its is advisable to set the time zone within the EP software
BEFORE assign any device with time clock capabilities.
Tools: Set Location & Time Zone
Sunrise / Sunset Table
Description:
This table is normally the first entry in an event (EVT) file. One entry per month,
based on the 1st day of the month, each in the format of:
,
Times are in 24hr format. The times for dates between the 1st of each month are
interpolated.
Example Sunrise/Sunset table:
SRSS: London
{
Jan 8:06,16:03
Feb 7:39,16:50
Mar 6:46,17:41
Apr 5:36,18:34
May 4:33,19:24
Jun 3:49,20:08
Jul 3:48,20:21
Aug 4:24,19:49

Sep 5:13,18:47
Oct 6:01,17:38
Nov 6:54,16:34
Dec 7:44,15:55
}
Times for different locations can be obtained by various methods, including
ALW.EXE, from time related websites and from Dynalite customer service.
To specify a sunrise or sunset trigger time for an Event, use SR or SS instead of a
fixed time optionally with the + - operands in addition to a time. For example:
Time=SR // Trigger the Event at Sunrise
Time=SR+01:30 // Trigger the Event at 1 hour and 30 minutes after
Sunrise
Time=SS // Trigger the Event at Sunset
Time=SR-00:30 // Trigger the Event at 30 minutes before Sunrise
Daylight Saving Table
Description:
This table is normally the second entry in an event (EVT) file, immediately after the Sunrise / Sunset
table (if used). Words that are filtered are "First, 1st, Second, 2nd, Third, 3rd, Forth, 4th, 5th, Last.
Days and months are abbreviated to 3 letters. Daylight saving will not change 1 hour either side of
midnight. The Start() Stop() parameters are:
(,,,,)
Once an event is triggered it sets a run flag to prevent it from running again. This run flag will normally
not be cleared until the next hour rolls over. For testing purposes you can clear all run flags by
recompiling and dumping the EVT file or set the clock forward 1 hr, then set it back.
Example Daylight Saving Table:
DaylightSaving
{
Start(Fifth, Sun, Mar, 1:00, 60)
Stop(Fifth, Sun, Oct, 2:00, 0)
}
Events
Example:
Event1 // Event number, 1 - 250 are valid
{
Name="Turn Everything Off" // String that is displayed in EP
Enable=True // Valid are True, False. Event set to
False will not run
Days(Sat,Sun) // Days to run.
Date(30,Mar,Jun,Jul) // Days of month to run. Valid are 1 -
31, Jan - Dec.

Time=17:30:00 // Time to run. Valid are 00:00:00 -
23:59:59, SR, SS.
Task1() // Event action.
}
Eventx:
Event number. Valid Event numbers are 1 - 250. This statement is not optional.
Name="ssss":
String that is displayed in EP. This statement is optional.
Enable=
Valid are True, False. Event set to False will not run. This statement is not optional.
Days():
Days to run. Valid days are Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun. This statement is not
optional.
Date():
Days of month to run. There can be only one date specified, Valid are 1 - 31. There
can be multiple months specified, valid months are Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul,
Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. For the Date() statement to be true there must also be a
valid match on the Days() statement. This statement is optional.
Time=
Time that the event is to run, in 24 hr format. Valid time formats are: hh:mm,
hh:mm:ss, SR, SR+/-hh:mm SS, SS+/-hh:mm.
Event Action:
An Event is a timed operation that can perform several single actions:
Preset() - Send a Preset message.
Task() - Start a single internal Task.
CancelTask() - Stops one or more internal Tasks. 0 = All Tasks
PauseTask() - Pauses one or more internal Tasks. 0 = All Tasks
ReStartTask() - Restart one or more currently paused internal Tasks. 0 = All Tasks
Dynet() - Send a Dynet message
EnableEvent() Enable an event that is in the same device. 0 = All Events
DisableEvent() Disable an event that is in the same device. 0 = All Events
Setting the Real Time Clock
Description:
The Clock can be set via a network message. This is the method that EP's Clock
window employs to set the Clock to the correct time. The message can be sent to a
single clock, or globally to set the time of all Clocks on the network in one operation.
Below is an example of one master Clock synchronizing all other Clocks on the
network with it's time:
M1: Dynet(0x5c,0xaa,0x55,0x50,0,0,0) // Template message

Task1()
{
Name="Set all clocks"
TryLater:
Yield()
LDA ^23,0
AND #0x0f
CMP #0x05
BPL TryLater //Wait for a seconds value that can be incremented
Dynet(0x5c,0xaa,0x55,1,1,1,0) //Global setup mode
COPY M1,~0,7
LDA ^23,0 //Seconds
INC //Increment the seconds for latency
STA ~6
LDA ^23,1
STA ~5
LDA ^23,2
STA ~4
TX ~0,2,7
Dynet(0x5c,0xaa,0x55,1,1,0,0) //Global exit setup mode
}
