M218 Embedded Functions

 

PTO_PWM Embedded Function

Overview

The PTO embedded function can provide 3 different functions:

oPTO:

The PTO (Pulse Train Output) implements digital technology that provides precise positioning for open loop control of motor drives.

oPWM:

The PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) function generates a programmable square wave signal on a dedicated output with adjustable duty cycle and frequency.

oFreq Gen:

The Freq Gen (Frequency Generator) function generates a square wave signal on dedicated output channels with a fixed duty cycle (50%).
