Adventures In UniStream conversion from Visilogic - PWM

[Joe Tauser]

I'm converting a V700 program to UniStream and came across a PWM SCAN block for heater SSR control.  I searched the Toolbox and the Help and came to learn that the PWM block is not a standard block in UniLogicLand.  Then I went looking on the UniStream software and hardware forums - nothing there.

After about an hour of getting frustrated I looked through the UniLogic examples.  Which I don't normally do - I'm an experienced programmer, by cracky!😫

Anyway, lo and behold, there was a PWM example.  Turns out the PWM block has been morphed to a UDFB, which was actually pretty easy to implement after I figured out one of the input tags is a TIMER data type.  Fortunately one of the Creators thought of this.

So I'm posting the UDFB for everyone's reference.

Thanks for sharing Joe!! Perhaps I am resisting the change to UDFB’s.... but if it works then it works. If you call it “easy” then I’m sold.

Easy for Joe may not be so easy for the rest of us.

Ahh... if Joe T. can do it I so can I. Not saying it's because I'm smarter.... Just relentless and tenacious. Once I get my head around something, look out, it's like I'm running with scissors. lol 

plus there’s alway the “ask Joe” option if I get stuck.

Hi @Joe Tauser,

I am wondering if there is a way to configure HSO as PWM output with Target value on UIS-WCB2 module. 

I made this post 

just now, so if you can reply on there. 

Thnx,
