11.. . APPENDIX A: MASTER ICON FILE REFERENCE
USING THE OMP-MODL11-30
Output Name: Specify a name for the Output signal from this icon. This Output
Name will be referenced by other icons downstream in the Program Net.
Units: Provides a text box for User entry of a units label that will be shown at the
output from this icon. Conversion to other units can be performed within a
Program Net by adding a Math Icon onto this icon’s output.
Debounce: Enables a hardware filter circuit that prevents short duration transitions
from passing into the icon. Debounce can be used to filter out contact
bounce from mechanical switches. The MLIM-8 Debounce has a time
constant of approximately 50mS. Note that the use of Debounce will delay
the actual input to output transition time by 50 to 100 mS.
FYI: Contact bounce is a phenomenon that
occurs when a mechanical switch opens or
closes. During switching, the physical electrical
contacts inside the switch bounce against each
other a number of times before they settle to
their final state.
Depending on the duty cycle of the contact
bounce, the OMP-MODL may count these
bounces as events resulting in technically
accurate but undesired data. By enabling the
debounce function, typical short duration contact
bounce will be filtered out.
