Edge trigging in ST or SCL

[xzen]

What is your best practice for edge trigging in structured text language?

#condition := (Value1 > 0 OR NOT Tag1) AND Tag2;
IF #condition_positive_edge THEN
    some_code();
END_IF;

Use the built in functions (IEC 61131-3):
- R_Trig: Rising edge
- F_Trig: Falling edge

+1 R_Trig

If you wish to code it yourself then:

IF Condition AND NOT Condition_Memory
Some Code
End IF

Condition_Memory = Condition

Jesper's post 9 years ago, same as Manglemenders If condition on ST.

But it is trivial to code.

signal_oneshot_ON := signal_input AND NOT signal_mem ; // generate the ON oneshot
signal_oneshot_OFF := NOT signal_input AND signal_mem ; // generate the OFF oneshot
signal_mem := signal_input ; store the status of the input

Not sure if it's in all ST packages but in CoDeSys (at least in v3.5) you can set a bit for a positive or negative edge trigger. The 'P' indicates positive edge, for Negative edge it would be an 'N'
