Phase
Description
1
The x output changes to 1 when the E input changes to 1.
2
On the falling edge of the E input, time-out ti is launched (time base of 0.1ms).
3
When the time-out is over, the x output changes to 0.
If the low status of input E lasts less time than ti, output x stays at 1.
Note: The values of outputs x and x Aux are identical.
