About Sequential Timer
A
sequential timer is a type of timer that performs a sequence of operations based on a predetermined sequence. It is used to control the timing of various processes, such as starting and stopping motors, controlling the speed of conveyor belts, and operating other machinery. This type of timer is often used in industrial settings to automate repetitive tasks. Some models of sequential timers are programmable, allowing users to customize the sequence of operations.
