Flow-X IO Functions - fxPulseOutput
fxPulseOutput
This function is used to feed pulses to an electro-mechanical (E/M) counter. There are 4 pulse output
units, to be selected by the index parameter. The function uses a reservoir to accumulate the pulses.
On one hand the number of pulses that need to be added to the reservoir is calculated from inputs
'Increment' and ‘Significance factor'. On the other hand pulses are taken from the reservoir and fed to
the E/M counter at a rate that will not exceed the specified output rate.
This can also be used to configure a dual pulse situation, for this case you can configure a second
channel and the delay it has on the primary channel.

Significance factor
Factor that specifies the relation
between the Increment value and
the number of output pulses.
E.g. a value of 100 means that 1
pulse is generated whenever 100
increment units have been
accumulated.

Pulse width
Time that each output pulse
remains active (high) in millisecond
Restriction (pulse duty cycle is 50%):
Pulse width <= 1000 / (2* max.

Max. output rate
Maximum pulse output rate.
When output pulses are generated
at a frequency higher than the
maximum output rate, the
superfluous pulses will be
accumulated in the pulse reservoir.
Restriction when pulse duty cycle
should not exceed 50%:
Max. output rate <= 1000 / (2*

With respect to the 'Reservoir alarm
