    TOF

    This simulation component turns an output off after a delay.

    TOF

    When to use

    Use this simulation component if you want to delay a boolean signal on a falling input edge.

    How to use

    Add this simulation component from the simulation component library. Define the Delay value that delays the input signal on the falling edge. After the input is set from false to true, the output is also set to true. If the input is set from true to false, the output is set to false after the delay timer has elapsed.

    Note

    The delay function works only if the simulation is running.

    Parameters

    DelayInS

    Indicates the duration of the delay in seconds at which the falling edge of the input signal is delayed.

    Inputs

    In

    An input which falling edge starts the delay timer.

    Outputs

    Out

    The output is set to false after the delay has elapsed.

    Example

    In the following diagram, you see the relationship of the TOF inputs and outputs when the given Delay is set to 3 seconds. When the input signal is set from false to true, the output is also set to true. If the input signal is set from true to false, the outputs is reset after 3 seconds. If the inputs signal is set from true to false for a time less than the configured delay, which is shown after 16 seconds, the output does not follow the input signal.
