JK Flip-Flop (JKFF)

The JKFF instruction complements the Q and QNot outputs when the Clock input transitions from cleared to set.
When Clear is set, the instructions clears Q and sets QNot. Otherwise, if Clock is set and Clockn-1 is cleared, the instruction toggles Q and QNot.
The instruction sets Clockn-1 = Clock state every scan.

Input Parameter
Data Type
Description
EnableIn
BOOL
Enable input. If cleared, the instruction does not execute and outputs are not updated.
Default is set.
Clear
BOOL
Clear input to the instruction. If set, the instruction
clears Q and sets QNot.
Clock
BOOL
Clock input to the instruction.
Default is cleared.
Output Parameter
Data Type
Description
EnableOut
BOOL
Indicates if instruction is enabled.

Execution
Structured Text
Condition/State
Action Taken
Prescan
EnableIn and EnableOut bits are cleared to false.
Normal Execution
EnableIn and EnableOut bits are set to true.
The instruction executes.
Postscan
EnableIn and EnableOut bits are cleared to false.
Examples
When Clock goes from cleared to set, the JKFF instruction toggles Q. If Clear is set, Q is always cleared. The JKFF instruction sets QNot to the opposite state of Q.
