Input Module Features   Chapter 3
When subsequent short duration pulses are detected at the same input point, 
the Latching configuration dictates what changes, if any, occur in the Logix 
Designer project.
To acknowledge the last captured pulse, set the output tag of the last input 
pulse as follows:
• Off to On transition - Set the O.Ptxx.TimestampOffOnNumberAck tag 
= I.Ptxx.TimestampOffOnNumber tag.
• On to Off transition - Set the O.Ptxx.TimestampOnOffNumberAck 
tag = I.Ptxx.TimestampOnOffNumber tag.
Once a pulse latch is acknowledged for an input point, the next pulse at that 
point increments the corresponding I.Ptxx.TimestampOffOnNumber and 
records the timestamp in I.Ptxx.TimestampOffOn.
You can change tag values in program logic while normal module operation 
continues or through the Logix Designer application tag editor. For more 
information about module tags, see Appendix B, 
Module Tag Definitions on 
page 231.

Disabled (default)
The following conditions disable Timestamp Latching:
• Enable Timestamp Latching field on the Module 
Properties dialog box is clear
• C.Ptxx.TimestampLatchEn tag = 0.
Off to On The I.Ptxx.TimestampOffOnNumber tag increments.
The new timestamp is recorded in the I.Ptxx.TimestampOffOn tag, overwriting the 
previous timestamp.
On to Off The I.Ptxx.TimestampOnOffNumber tag increments.
The new timestamp is recorded in the I.Ptxx.TimestampOnOff tag, overwriting the 
previous timestamp.
Enabled
The following conditions enable Timestamp Latching:
• Enable Timestamp Latching field on the Module 
Properties dialog box is checked.
• C.Ptxx.TimestampLatchEn tag = 1.
Off to On The I.Ptxx.TimestampOffOnNumber and I.Ptxx.TimestampOffOn tags remain 
latched until the last captured pulse is acknowledged. 
In other words, the tag values remain the same until the last captured pulse is 
acknowledged.
On to Off The I.Ptxx.TimestampOnOffNumber and I.Ptxx.TimestampOnOff tags remain 
latched until the last captured pulse is acknowledged.
In other words, the tag values remain the same until the last captured pulse is 
acknowledged.
