Pulse Button

IGSS V8 includes a new feature for buttons in the IGSS SCADA configurations. The "Pulse Button" feature allows you to send a command to a PLC when the button is pressed down and to send a second command when the button is released again.

Example of Use

The "Pulse Button" may be useful if you need to make accurate process adjustments in your SCADA system. This could, for example, be to open a valve for a short period of time to perform corrections in the level of a liquids container in your process or to fine tune the position of a robotic arm.

Below is shown an illustration of where a pump is commanded to Start when the button is clicked and Stop when the button is released.
