Edge Falling

This function block is designed to detect falling edges in input signals. It outputs a signal when the input transitions from a high (True) state to a low (False) state.

📥 Inputs

Boolean This input accepts a boolean signal, which will be monitored for falling edges.

📤 Outputs

Boolean This output delivers a signal indicating whether a falling edge has been detected.

🎨 Features

Falling Edge Detection The block accurately detects changes in the incoming signal, providing a simple method to respond to transitions.

📝 Usage Instructions

  1. Connect Input Signal: Link a boolean signal, such as from a button press or switch, to the input.

  2. Evaluate: Running the block will check for a falling edge based on the last input state.

  3. Monitor Output: The output can be connected to any subsequent block that needs to react to the falling edge detected.

📊 Evaluation

When executed, this function block monitors the input signal and outputs True only when the input transitions from True to False.

💡 Tips and Tricks

Combining with Other Signal Blocks

To create a more complex signal pattern, consider pairing this block with Edge Rising. By detecting both rising and falling edges, you can control processes more precisely.

Debouncing Inputs

For input signals from physical buttons, consider implementing a button debouncing technique. This will help avoid false falling edge detections caused by mechanical noise.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

Unexpected Outputs

If you are not getting the expected output, ensure that the input signal is connected properly and that the transitions between True and False are clear and not noisy.

No Falling Edges Detected

If the block isn't detecting any falling edges, verify the logic flow to ensure that the signal is transitioning and that the previous state was indeed True before the transition to False.
