IntervalTrigger

This simulation component outputs a boolean impulse and a boolean value which toggles at a given interval.

When to use

Use this simulation component if you want to output a boolean impulse or a boolean value which toggles at a given interval. For example, a workpiece should be created in a given interval. To achieve this the Trigger input of a Object3DSource can be connected with the Trigger output of a IntervalTrigger.

How to use

Add this simulation component from the simulation component library. Define the Interval value at which the outputs are triggered.

Note

The IntervalTrigger outputs are triggered only if the simulation is running.

Parameters

Interval

Indicates the interval of type [hh:mm:ss] at which the outputs are triggered.

TriggerOnSimulationStart

A value indicating whether or not the outputs are triggered at simulation start.

Outputs

Counter

Outputs a value which indicates the number of triggers since the last reset.

Toggle

Outputs a boolean value which toggles at the given Interval.

Trigger

Outputs a true/false trigger value at the given Interval.

Example

In this example, the given Interval value is set to 20 seconds. The outputs are triggered at simulation start.
