5.1.7.1. Filter time of a digital input
The filter time eliminates debounces and short disturbances on a digital input. The
filter time is set for each digital input of the terminal. The operation of input filtering
is illustrated below.

Fig. 5.1.7.1.-1 Filtering of a digital input
In the figure above, the input signal is named ‘Input’, the filter timer ‘Filter Time’
and the filtered input signal ‘Filtered Input’. At the beginning, the input signal is at
high state, the short low state is filtered and no input status change is detected. The
low state starting from the time t
0
exceeds the filter time, which means that the
change in the input status is detected and the time tag attached to the input change is
t
0
. The high state starting from t
1
is detected and the time tag t
1
is attached.
Each digital input has a filter time parameter
Input # filter
, where # is the
number of the digital input of the module in question (e.g.
Input 1 filter
).
5.1.7.2. Inversion of a digital input
The parameter
Input # invert
can be used to invert a digital input:
When the digital input is inverted, the status of the input is TRUE (1) when no
control voltage is applied to its terminals. Accordingly, the input status is FALSE
(0) when a control voltage is applied to the terminals of the digital input.
