Purpose:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Control an actuator using pulse width modulation based on command inputs and error calculations.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Enter:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

pwm_ctrl<\/strong> <actuator> <priority> <interval> [+c]<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Where:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

actuator<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Specify the CyFlex label assigned to the actuator that will be controlled via pulse width modulation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

priority<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Specify the priority level.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

interval<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Specify an existing process interval to set the master scheduler rate such as SLO.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

+c<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Optional. Specify this flag to indicate that the task should be registered as a critical task. If the task dies, CyFlex will stop the test being run.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Example:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

pwm_ctrl<\/strong> exh_rest 10 SLO +c
\nThe above command applies pwm control to the exhaust restriction. The task is also registered as watchdog-critical. If it stops responding CyFlex will stop the active test.<\/p>\n

pwm_ctrl<\/strong> DilFlow 8 SLO +c
\nThe above command starts the PWM control task for the dilution flow actuator with a priority of 8 and a master scheduler process interval of the slow rate. The task is watchdog-critical. If it stops responding, CyFlex will stop the active test.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Notes:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

After starting pwm_ctrl, the task must be configured via the pwm_specs command.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n
