Sequencer with Momentary Trigger

Edited

This guide explains how to trigger a sequenced output using a momentary input connected through GPIO.


1. Hardware

Wire the momentary trigger device to the GPIO Card
(Follow the wiring reference for correct pin and ground connections.)

This allows the system to detect a brief button press or contact closure.


2. Software

Step 1 - Add required modules

Add the following blocks to your project:

  • Radio Button

  • Delay Hold-1

  • Delay Hold-2

  • OR Module

  • GPIO Output Card

Step 2 - Connect the logic

  • Route the Radio Button into both Delay Hold-1 and Delay Hold-2.

  • Send both Delay outputs into the OR Module — the OR selects whichever Delay Hold is active.

  • Connect the output of the OR Module to the GPIO Output block.

Step 3 - GPIO Output assignment

Open the GPIO Output Card and assign the correct GPIO channel used by the sequencer or controlled device.


3. Test

  • Press the radio button → momentary input triggers the sequencer

  • The GPIO Output will follow whichever path is active:

    • Delay Hold-1 logic

    • Delay Hold-2 logic

This confirms the sequencer is functioning and responding correctly to momentary triggers.
