One Shot Block
The function block gives a single Output pulse for a controlled duration of time. If the Set Time
is 0.0 seconds, the block will function like the Pulse block. The Reset Input returns the Output
to the OFF condition and will override the Input pin.
Table 6.9: One Shot Function Block
Note: The set time cannot be less than one scan time for the controller; otherwise, the
One Shot Function Block will not perform its assigned task for the time specified.
Users can monitor the scan time from the

Series Controller. Scan time is
dependent on the user-program; therefore, caution is needed as and when time units
are selected.
