Assignment of the control interface
The user program influences the behavior of the PWM channel through the control interface.
Control interface per channel
The following table shows the control interface assignment:
Table 3- 5 Assignment of the control interface
OUTPUT_VALUE
PWM: On-load factor * (Int)
In PWM mode, the on-load factor uses only the two least significant bytes (byte 2 and byte 3).
Frequency output: Frequency in Hz (Real)
Byte 1
SLOT
Byte 8 Reserved = 0 MODE_SL
OT
LD_SLOT
Specifies the meaning of the value under SLOT
0001: Period duration (PWM)
Byte 9 Reserved = 0 Reserved
Reserved
SET_DQA Reserved
TM_CTRL_
SW_ENA
Byte 10 Reserved = 0 RES_ERR
* The terms "On-load factor", "Pulse duty factor" and "Duty factor" can be used synonymously
