ZEN Car wash operation

The ZEN can be used to change the operating time depending on the number of coins inserted.

If a holding timer (#) is used with holding bits (H) in self-holding programming, the remaining time will not be reset even if there

are unexpected power interruptions.

Example Program

Parameter Settings

The car wash operates for 3 minutes for one coin, 6 minutes for two coins, and 9 minutes for 3 coins.

Energy Conservation and Automation of Building Facilities

Just a few examples of what the ZEN can do:Enormous added value in automating everyday facilities

Easier small-scale automatic control. That is whatthe ZEN from OMRON provides. The ZEN can beused almost as easily as wiring materials. TheZEN enables quick automation of small machinesor facilities. Add to this the LCD screen and 8buttons on the front panel for easy ladder programinput. You want a more compact control panel or

reduced assembly or wiring? AC inputs, easier circuit design, or multiple-timer control? The OMRON ZEN gives you these, and more, to fill allyour automation requirements. Increase system convenience and added value using theautomation excellence provided by the ZEN.

Preventing Assembly Omissions and Other Mistakes

Two weekly timers are used to operate the escalator between 7:00 and 10:00 am and 5:00 and 10:00 pm on weekdays.Outside those times, the escalator uses the OFF-delay timer to operate for 3 minutes after a person has been detected.

ZEN Escalator operatesSensor

An escalator can operate continuously between specified days and times. It can also be set to

conserve energy by operating outside those times only when a person approaches the escalator.

If the part required for assembly does not passthrough the sensor, the screw tool will not be supplied

with air to prevent mistakes.
