function
The function reads the value of the signal at the analog input Ax.
This value is multiplied by the value of parameter A (gain). Parameter B (offset) is added to the
product, as follows:
(Ax * Gain) + Offset = Actual value Ax
The function block calculates the proportion of the value Ax to the range. The block sets the
digital output Q high for the same proportion of the PT (periodic time) parameter , and sets Q
low for the remainder of the time period.

Analog input value: 500 (range 0...1000)
Periodic time

The digital output of the PWM function is 2 seconds high, 2 seconds low, 2 seconds high, 2
seconds low and continues in that pattern as long as parameter "En" = high.
