PWM Pulse-Width Modulation |
Pulse-width modulation (PWM) function blocks translate an analog value to a modulated digital output. The digital output will be a square wave whose duty cycle is proportional to the analog input level. The diagrams below show typical output waveforms for 20% input, 50% input and 80%.
Parameter | Description |
Name | Function block name, see common parameters |
DYN dynamic option, see common parameters | |
/ | Mixed inputs option, see common parameters |
Input | Analog input value that will drive the waveform's duty cycle. This input should vary from 0 to 100. |
Cycle time | Total time of one cycle of the output waveform. The time is optionally expressed in hours, minutes or seconds via radio buttons. |
/ | Normal/Invert output option, see common parameters |
