8. Special I/O Functions

8.6 Pulse output function

Function

This function is used to output a variable frequency pulse train. The controllable pulse
frequency is 50 to 5000 Hz (1 Hz units).
The output mode can be selected either CW/CCW or Pulse/Direction (PLS/DIR).
In the CW/CCW mode, CW pulse is output when the frequency setting is positive (50
to 5000), and CCW pulse is output when it is negative (-50 to -5000).
In the PLS/DIR mode, DIR is OFF when the frequency setting is positive (50 to 5000),
and DIR is ON when it is negative (-50 to -5000).

In the both modes, pulse output is enabled when the pulse enable flag is ON. While
the pulse enable flag is ON, the pulse frequency can be changed by changing the
frequency setting value. However, the pulse direction (the sign of the frequency
setting) cannot be changed when the pulse enable flag is ON.
This function can be used to control the speed of a stepping motor, etc.

Note) The allowable value range of the frequency setting (SW28) is -5000 to -50 and

50 to 5000. If the value is out of this range or the sign is changed while the
pulse enable flag (S270) is ON, the frequency setting error flag (S26F) comes
ON. (Pulse output operation is continued with previous frequency setting)
