onship of PWM duty cycle to motor velocity Relati
• Shaft velocity increases in the CW direction as PWM duty cycle
decreases from 50% to 0%
• Shaft velocity increases in the CCW direction as PWM duty cycle
increases from 50% to 100%
• As PWM duty cycle approaches 50%—from either direction—motor
velocity approaches 0.
• In practice, O% and 100% (static low and static high conditions) are
not valid PWM states. ClearPath treats these cases as zero-velocity
commands.
• PWM minimum on time and minimum off time = 300nS.
