{{anchor:edge_monitor}}
Of course, there is an R_TRIG / F_TRIG function for edge monitoring, but do you really need to call an FB and an IDB for such a simple function?

Both positive and negative edge monitoring require an additional BOOL-type static, DB, or mark variable (temp is not suitable) in addition to the signal variable. This variable stores the signal state from the previous cycle, which is then compared to the current state.
If the old state is FALSE and the current state is TRUE, it indicates a positive edge; if the reverse is true, the old state is TRUE, and the new state is FALSE.

The example below demonstrates the two options, with the variables being FB local "static" variables, but they can also be DB variables or markers. The signal can also be an input.
<code SCL|edge_monitor>
// signal, old_signal is type BOOL

IF #signal AND NOT (#old_signal) THEN
    // positive flash block program
    // 
    ;
END_IF;

IF NOT(#signal) AND #old_signal THEN
    // negative flash block program
    // 
    ;
END_IF;

// update the storage BOOL
#old_signal := #signal;

==== R_TRIG ====
Detect __positive__ signal edge, if the state changes from FALSE to TRUE at CLK. I have described above a similar but much simpler procedure for edge monitoring: [[automation:s7_scl_commands#edge_monitor| positive/negative edge monitoring]].
