A great place to start is here...
Neptune Apex Programming Tutorials
But specifically, for you...
Set OFF
If ATO_L Open Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

That will not do what the OP wanted. That will turn on the membrane flush valve one minute after ATO_L becomes open and keep it on until ATO_L is closed.

@vic5hands you can do what you want, but you will need to use a virtual outlet. This is how I do it:

For the actual membrane flush program you would want this:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If ATO_L Open Then ON
If Output Flush_Off = ON Then OFF

Then you will will need to create a virtual outlet called Flush_Off. The program for that will look like this:

Set OFF
If ATO_L Open Then ON
Defer 001:00 Then ON

This will cause the membrane flush to come on when ATO_L is open and keep it on for one minute, or until ATL_L is closed, whichever happens first.
