New to EAE...attempting to come over from Rockwell side. Just playing around with an M262 and 251 with some I/O in my test lab.
I'm trying to create a blinking bit in which I can change the time for on and off. Anyone know how to do this? Thank you!

Hi @keithlyding
Adding precision to @KARTHICKR, you can rely on E_CYCLE block to event at desired period.
To invert your bit, you can use a NOT block with itself. You can then use your boolean output wherever you want.
For playing with IOs, pay attention to your busCycleTime setting on your hardware configuration to be set accordingly for the period you try to reach (should be at least twice faster than your blinking period)
Best Regards

Hi Keith, You can utilize the E_CYCLE block to produce cyclic events for the continuous cyclic bit and establish an inverse bit for the corresponding event in the basic block in structure text.
