2-4 Digital Input Functional Block
found. This field may contain up to 30 characters.
This value is separate from the device’s location
property.
Processing Affects the translation of incoming data to the value
passed to the output network variable. There are five
processing options: Direct, Delayed, Toggled,
Pulsed
, and One-Shot.
The Direct option causes data to be output directly
after the debounce and invert functions have
executed.
The Delayed option specifies a delay from a change
on the input to an update on the output network
variable. A change from Off to On is delayed by the
time indicated in the On Delay Time field. A
change from On to Off is delayed by the time
indicated in the Off Delay Time field.
The Toggled option causes the output data to toggle,
or change state, every time the input data changes
from Off to On. For example, if a Digital Input
functional block is attached to a push button and the
functional block is configured with the Toggled
option, the network variable output value will change
every time the button is pushed.
The Pulsed option generates a pulse on the output
network variable every time the input data changes
from Off to On. The pulse is generated after a delay
specified on the On Delay Time field. The duration
of the pulse is specified on the Pulse Time field. It
does not matter how long the input data remains on,
the output will always send a pulse of the specified
length after waiting the configured delay. If a delayed
pulse is re-triggered during a pulse, the delay will be
ignored. If a pulse is re-triggered during a delay, the
trigger will be ignored.
The One-Shot option generates a pulse on the output
network variable every time the input data changes
from Off to On. The pulse is generated after a delay
specified on the On Delay Time field. The duration
of the pulse is specified in the Pulse Time field. If
the input data changes from Off to On while the
pulse is being sent, the pulse timer will be reset (i.e.,
if a two second pulse was retriggered after one
second, the output would be on for two more seconds,
or three seconds total).
On Delay Time Use this field with the Delayed, Pulsed, and One-
Shot
Processing options. This value determines the
length of the delay in the change from the off state to
the on state. To change the value, click the button
to the right of the time value to be changed and enter
