Motion Control
Event Timer v2
Description

Event Timer v2

Measures the time between the last two events and the elapsed time since the last event.

Multiple instances may be used for multiple timing tasks.

Reset input sets Output and Elapsed to zero. Both outputs remain zero after Reset is made Inactive until the next event at which point Elapsed begins to count. Output remains zero until two events have occured.

Note that aliasing errors will occur when events occur faster than the the FBE timebase setpoint, typically 5ms, 200Hz.

Availability
  • Available only in the dw2xx-v2 series products
  • Requires library: Precision Motion (option -39)
  • Firmware versions 0x210C and later

Parameters

Event Input, Read-only, Placeholder (special (timestamp))

Event

The event input is freely connectable from any single encoder marker, digital input event, or FI Event output in any smarty on the local network.

Note that aliasing errors will occur when events occur faster than the the FBE timebase setpoint, typically 5ms, 200Hz.


Output Output, Read-only, Analog (32-bit IEEE-754 floating point value)
0.0000 s to 340E36 s

Output

The time between the last two events.

Elapsed Output, Read-only, Analog (32-bit IEEE-754 floating point value)
0.0000 s to 340E36 s

Elapsed

The elapsed time since the last event.

Reset Input, Read-write, Boolean (signed 16-bit integer)

Reset

Sets Output and Elapsed to zero. Both outputs remain zero after Reset is made Inactive until the next event at which point Elapsed begins to count. Output remains zero until two events have occured.

0 = Inactive
1 = Reset
