8.10.2 F_TP
Function
The block generates a pulse with the duration PT at the output Q.
The pulse is started by a rising edge at the input IN. The output Q remains set for
the duration PT, irrespective of the subsequent pattern of the input signal.
The output ET indicates how long the output Q has already been set. The
maximum value it can adopt is that of the input PT. It is reset if the input IN
changes to 0, but not before the time PT has elapsed.
If PT < 0, the outputs Q and ET are reset.
