The cards 2A, 2 having the marks written in this way
When the card B is read by the card reader 3, a program for executing the operation pattern corresponding to the specific pattern number [1] is created preferentially on the specified year, month, and day. On a specific day, the operation is performed at 9 o'clock and 18:00 o'clock for the first circuit, and at 8 o'clock and 20 o'clock for the second circuit. Is performed.

The reading of the card 2A or 2B written in this way is performed in the same manner as in a conventional card-type program timer. However, the output of each optical sensor whose waveform has been shaped by the card reader 3 is directly input to the signal processing circuit 13 composed of a microcomputer through a comparator circuit in the card reader 3 without passing through a multiplexer.

Next, the overall operation of the embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, when the power is turned on, all the output signals are set to the "H" state, and this state continues except for the signals that are automatically output, and the internal RAM and the external RAM 14 of the signal processing circuit 13 are all cleared. This after clearing, until adjusting switch S ₂ of the operation panel 1 is operated, any other input also not accept, not even if the output.

[0033] When the adjustment switch S ₂ is operated, the process proceeds to the initial mode, initialization is performed to shift to the normal operation. The next timer mode is a mode in which the clock, timer output, and time signal output functions are performed. The clock function includes a function for displaying the current time and a function for causing the date and time to be displayed on the current time display unit 4. The timer output function is a function for outputting a signal of “ON” or “OFF” to the relay drive circuit 7 at a set time according to a preset program. The time signal output function is a function for outputting a signal of a time signal based on a chime sound of a music piece selected at a preset time from the chime unit 8 for a set time.

After entering the timer mode, the time is adjusted by a time adjustment routine, and when there is a reading operation of the card reader 3, the mode is shifted to the program mode, and the card reader input function, the card reader control function and the like are operated. The card reader input function is a function in which the card reader 3 reads marks written on the cards 2A and 2B, and sets a timer program required for a timer operation.

The card reader control function is provided for the card 2
It is a function to control a timing signal, a data signal, a control signal of a card reader motor, and the like when reading a mark written in A and 2B. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the contents of the program mode. When the card reading by the card reader is started, the signal processing circuit 13 starts taking the mark, and the card being read is the first card 2A. Whether it is the second card 2B is determined by the presence or absence of the annual pattern setting card discrimination mark TY.

In the case of the first card 2A, based on the position of the fetched mark, "ON" is performed according to a preset definition.
A program for a timer function such as time, “off” time, circuit number, circuit conditions, etc. is created, and the created program is stored in the external RAM 14 to complete the setting of the program. In the case of the second card 2B, a program for a timer function corresponding to the year, month, day and the type of operation pattern according to the definition is created based on the position of the captured mark according to the definition. External RAM 14
To complete the program setting.

As described above, after the mark is fetched, the program is created and stored. During the fetching of the mark, the following processing may be sequentially performed, or each processing may be performed collectively. They may be combined. In the embodiment, two types of cards 2A and 2B can be used. However, the program of the timer function can be divided into three or more types of cards by function, and the program can be set by taking in the marks of each card. You may do it.

The program confirmation mode in FIG. 8 is a mode for confirming the set program. The program set by the timer function is displayed on the current time display section 4 by using the operation switch of the operation panel 1. Further, in the low power consumption mode shown in FIG. 8, when a power failure detection signal is input from the power failure detection circuit 12 to the signal processing circuit 13, the signal processing circuit 13 performs a low power consumption operation by using a power supply for compensation of the power supply circuit 11. This is an operation mode in which the low power consumption operation is canceled when the power failure detection signal disappears.

Next, the display of the current time and the adjustment of the time will be described. First, since the card-type program timer of the present invention has a function of setting an annual program, it is necessary to display year, month, day, day of the week, hour, minute, and second for the current time.
