Trigger Tag Properties: Off Conditions Tab
This tab is used to set the condition that will switch the tag’s value to 0, resetting the trigger tag for the next scheduled event. The tag may be switched to an OFF state based on a delay in seconds after switching ON, a schedule, or based on an expression (which may include a tag).
A combination of options may be configured, resulting in a trigger that will reset either based on time, or in response to an event..
Note the field labeled “Every”. When set to 0 this means that no schedule is in effect. All other time-related fields will be disabled.

When set to a value greater than 0, the trigger tag’s value will be set to 0 (OFF) this many seconds after being triggered by the On Condition.
Used to set the base date and time for the reset (Off-condition) schedule. The other configuration options on this tab will be counted from the given Starting Time.
Every [N] Seconds / Minutes / Hours / Days
The field beside “Every” controls the frequency of the following units. If set to 0, the tag will not be reset to zero based on a time and date schedule.
For example, if the Every value is set to 1 and the Hours checkbox is selected, then beginning with the time configured in the Start Time, the trigger will be reset to 0 every hour.
If the Every value is set to 7 and the Days checkbox is selected, then beginning on the configured Start Time date, the tag will be reset to 0 every week.
Allow you to control which days the reset schedule will operate on. For example, you may choose to not reset the tag to 0 on weekends by unselecting Saturday and Sunday.
These checkboxes will not be enabled when the Months option is selected.
Configures the tag to reset to 0 every month. If this option is chosen, then further refinements include “On The” or “Same Day as Starting Day”.
For example, you may wish to configure the trigger to reset “on the 1st Wednesday” or “on the 2nd Monday” of the month. If you have selected “Same Day as Starting Day” then the trigger will be reset on the given numeric day of the month, at the selected time.
When the Months option is selected, the Day checkboxes will not be enabled.
Select a tag, or enter an expression that will be used to reset the trigger tag’s value to 0. The trigger tag’s value will be set to 0 when the value of the selected tag or expression becomes non-zero.
