Function Block TP

The Function Block TP generates a uniform pulse.

Note: The times of the function block are absolute. This means that after a server restart or failure, the same reaction occurs.

Input IN

The input generates a pulse for the time PT when changing from false to true. The input is locked until the time has elapsed.

Input PT

Defines the duration in T#, which elapses when generating the pulse.

Input RESET

If the input is true, the pulse is immediately interrupted and the output ET is reset to T#0ms. The output Q remains false as long.

Output Q

A pulse for the duration of PT is generated at the output when there is a positive edge at the input IN.

Output ET

The output of type T# is equal to T#0ms when the input IN is false. If the delay is active, the output counts up until the pulse ends. After this time, ET is equal to the input PT.

Warning: Using the output ET leads to increased PLC load.
