## Time Periods

Up to 10 time periods can be defined. For each period, a communication object is released, which (if “send status on change” is enabled) sends updates on each change and at device startup.

Each period is defined by a start date and a number of days that determines the end of the period.

The period begins at 00:00:00 on the start date and ends at 23:59:59 on the final day.  
If the current day is within the time range, the period is active (i.e., logically ON for linkages).

A value of “1” for days means the period is only active on a single day.
