FLProg3: PLC Timers & Pulse Generators | ESP32 NodeMCU | Arduino Visual Embedded Programming
🚀 Master the art of time-based control! In this third FLProg tutorial, we leave the "Delay" command behind and learn how to use professional PLC Timer and Generator blocks with the ESP32 NodeMCU.
Timing is the backbone of any industrial system. We break down the essential TON (Timer On Delay) and TOF (Timer Off Delay) blocks, showing you exactly how to control when events start and stop with precision. Plus, we explore Generators—including Single Shot, Symmetrical, and Asymmetrical Multivibrators—perfect for creating PWM signals, flashing alerts, or pulsed outputs. If you want to build a system that runs on a schedule or handles time-sensitive tasks, this video is your roadmap.
Key Blocks Covered
✅ Timers: TON (On-Delay) and TOF (Off-Delay)
✅ Generators: Single Shot (Monostable)
✅ Oscillators: Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Multivibrators (Blinkers)
✅ Hardware: ESP32 NodeMCU, Push-buttons, and LED Indicators
