TP |
IEC / CEI 1131-3 Compliant
This kind of timer has the same behavior of a single-shot timer or a monostable timer.
When a rising-edge ( OFF to ON or FALSE to TRUE ) transition is detected on the IN input, the Q output become immediately TRUE .
This condition continue until the programmed time PT, applied to the relative pin, is elapsed.
After that the programmed time is elapsed, the Q output keeps the ON state if the input IN is still asserted else the Q output returns to the OFF state.
This timer is not re-triggerable. This means that after the timer started it can't be stopped until the complete session ends.
The ET output pin reports the current elapsed time.
