Dead Time Block Example

The Dead Time block is a secondary block you can use to delay the information to other blocks. Each Dead Time block can delay up to 255 seconds. If your process requires longer delays, you can chain two or more Dead Time blocks together as the following figure shows:

In this example, the input value received by the first Dead Time block delays 255 seconds before sending its value to the second Dead Time block. In turn, the second Dead Time block delays an additional 45 seconds, resulting in a total delay of 300 seconds (5 minutes).
