PTO_PWM Embedded Function

Overview

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.

Accessing the PTO_PWM Configuration Window

The table describes the areas of the PTO_PWM configuration window:

Number

Action

1

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.
