TSTEQ IP1[5000] 0 ?

A simple question,
 
 
How can I test IP1 to 0 for 5 sec ? I know I can test IP1 to 1 for 5 sec like that : TSTEQ IP1[5000] 1 but it didn't work for a false operation..
 
 
 
thx!

When you need to test zero going pulse, please use IPINVx[]
IP[] is for detect zero to one going pulse length.

Well that is indeed very interesting. I have had the same question! I can't see this covered in the documentation anywhere. I knew you could permenantly invert an input through the GUI but did not know you could do this for a test.

This begs the question: what other little (or big) things are hidden and not covered in the documentation?

It is in the PLC programming user guide, under the section of programming.  Because this is part of the PLC programming, it is listed in the PLC data types in 17f user guide page 30.

Well that explains a lot. I was using the "17e" version of the manual which is the one linked on the CAI website. Just a thought, maybe instead of linking to a specific manual when clicking "PLC manual" it should be linked to the list of all available manuals so the user can pick the correct one for their firmware.

Thanks for the suggestion, from the web site, go to the support tab, where mouse moving on top support, it will show a drop down menu, in that, there is documentation.  Click that will have a list all the user manuals. It may not have all the hardware spec documents that we still updating.  Hope that helps.
