Example 
HFigure 78 shows a Function Block Diagram using a PT function block. 
An OFF delay timer block output is ON as long as the RST input is logic HI (ON).  It can be used for time 
duration but must be triggered by an ON to OFF transition on the Reset input.  This can be accomplished 
using Trigger blocks (TRIG) to create one-shot pulses which last one scan cycle.  The fast logic trigger 
pulse will last 100 ms. while the normal logic trigger pulse will last the complete scan cycle for analog 
blocks.  Use according to application need. A 
Periodic Timer (PT) output pulse may also be used to start 
the timer for the OFF delay for time duration.
