Hi Dr. PK, As Wayne suggested, you could use the Time based control to trigger the Control at a particular time. I, personally though, am less fan of Time Based control as no matter what goes in the system it will trigger. The only situation I use Time Based control is when Operators in the field have done manual override. Let's say your system works very well in general but because of some circumstance, operator will override the logic in the SCADA and will change the status of some element. Now, at whatever time this happened, I represent this by creating a Time based Control. I like to model based on SCADA logic and most of the time SCADA logic are based on hydraulics and sometime they are tied with "Clock Time" also. Let's say you have a logic of " If Tank-1 Level = 4 PMP -1 Status = ON ". Now, Tank-1 Level reaches 4 or below, it will turn on the PMP-1. Such types of control are totally independent of simulation duration and will trigger as many times as needed. So, depending on situations you may want to pick what type of control works the best. Thanks,
