The PTO embedded function can provide 2 different functions:
PTO The PTO (Pulse Train Output) implements digital technology that provides precise positioning for open loop control of motor drives.
PWM The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) function generates a programmable square wave signal on a dedicated output with adjustable duty cycle and frequency.

If necessary, select the PTO_PWM tab to access the PTO_PWM configuration Windows. |
2 |
Select a specific PTO tab to access the PTO_PWM channel to configure. |
3 |
Choose the type of PTO_PWM, (PTO (default) or PWM). Use the field Variable to change the Global Variable name representing the instance of the channel. NOTE: The default variable name for PTO 0 channel is PTO00. For PTO 1 channel, it is PTO01. |
