INPUTDEBOUNCE/IDB 
Purpose: 
To specify the number of samples that a digital input must be sampled for in order for the input to be 
seen.

Format: 
INPUTDEBOUNCE = <expression>

Description: 
Digital input channels are sampled on a periodic basis. On NextMove, this is every millisecond. If an 
input is active in hardware at the point of sampling, then that input is seen and processed according to 
the rules of 
INPUTMODE, INPUTACTIVELEVEL, INPUTPOSTRIGGER and INPUTNEGTRIGGER. 
The 
INPUTDEBOUNCE keyword specifies the number if samples an input must be active for in order to 
be seen and then processed. This is useful in ‘noisy’ environments where false inputs can be seen and 
where a contactor may ‘bounce’ as it changes state. 
The default value is one, i.e. the input is not debounced. A value of two for example means that the 
input must be present of two consecutive samples. 
If debouncing is not on (set to 1), then the 
IN and INSTATE keywords read the state of the inputs when 
called. If debouncing is turned on (greater than 1), then the 
IN and INSTATE keywords return the last 
sample values. 
The 
INPUTDEBOUNCE keyword affects the current I/O bank as set with the BANK keyword. 
Example 
In order to avoid noise affecting the digital inputs, a valid input signal will have a minimum duration of 
5 milliseconds. This equates to a debounce value of 6. 
INPUTDEBOUNCE = 6
