===== Low-Frequency Pulse Generator =====

There are 4 low-frequency pulse timers in the system

==== Software PLC control ====

^ Address ^ Variable Name ^ Description ^
| 0x10000AB | EXT_MYTIMER_SET | Set up, enable/disable pulse generator |
| 0x10000AC | EXT_MYTIMER_SET_PULSE | Set pulse time (in milliseconds) |
| 0x10000AD | EXT_MYTIMER_SET_PAUSE | Set pause time (in milliseconds) |


=== Pulse generator set up ===

Writing to the Software PLC register number 0x10000AB is used to set up Pulse generator.

  * Byte 0 of written value is the OUT port number for the pulse generator
  * Byte 2 - set the current state of the pulse generator. Bit #1 is to enable/disable the generator.
    * 0 - timer **DISABLED**
    * 2 - timer **ENABLED**
  * Byte 3 - timer number.


Software PLC example: set up and turn the generator ON

<code C PULSES_ON.plc>

#define port_num 8
#define t_pulse 200
#define t_pause 800

main()
{

  gvarset(0x10000ac,t_pulse);
  gvarset(0x10000ad,t_pause);

  x=port_num|(2<<16);
  gvarset(0x10000ab,x);
  
  exit(99);

};

</code>

Software PLC example: set up and turn the generator OFF

<code C PULSES_OFF.plc>

#define port_num 8

main()
{
  gvarset(0x10000ab,port_num);
  exit(99);
};
