Motion Control with PTO and PWM
Certain Micro830 and Micro850 controllers (see table below) support motion
control through high speed pulse-train outputs (PTO). PTO functionality refers
to the ability of a controller to accurately generate a specific number of pulses at a
specified frequency. These pulses are sent to a motion device, such as a servo
drive, which in turn controls the number of rotations (position) of a servo motor.
Each PTO is exactly mapped to one axis, to allow for control of simple
positioning in stepper motors and servo drives with pulse/direction input.
As the duty cycle of the PTO can be changed dynamically, the PTO can also be
used as a pulse width modulation (PWM) output.
PTO/PWM and motion axes support on the Micro830 and Micro850
controllers are summarized below.
