Pulse (1 kHz)

The pulse signals can be output using a range of different frames. Below follows an overview of the frame groups and when each group can be used.

Note

The pulse counts can be output as 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit values. Using fewer bits (reducing min/max), allows packing more signals in a single output message. If the min/max is reached, the output value is saturated (not the internal value).

Warning

When configured to Reset, only one output message including the specific channel count should be enabled[1].

Pulse 8-bit (-128 to 127)

The pulse 8-bit output can be used if the count value is expected to be in range -128 to 127.

• Pulse 8-bit (ch 1-8, 8 byte)

Warning

This frame is likely only relevant when the pulse output is configured as Reset.

Pulse 16-bit (-32768 to 32767)

The pulse 16-bit output can be used if the count value is expected to be in range -32768 to 32767.

• Pulse 16-bit (ch 1-4, 8 byte),

• Pulse 16-bit (ch 5-8, 8 byte)

Pulse 32-bit (-2147483648 to 2147483647)

The pulse 32-bit output can be used if the count value is expected to be in range -2147483648 to 2147483647.

• Pulse 32-bit (ch 1-2, 8 byte),

• Pulse 32-bit (ch 3-4, 8 byte),

• Pulse 32-bit (ch 5-6, 8 byte),

• Pulse 32-bit (ch 7-8, 8 byte)

Warning

Enabling all pulse 32-bit outputs with high frequency may exceed the available bus bandwidth.

Pulse 32-bit FD

The pulse 32-bit FD output can be used to output all channel counts with maximum range in one frame.

• Pulse 32-bit FD (ch 1-8, 32 byte)

Warning

Requires CAN-FD support

[1]

The count is reset when the count value is included in an output message. If included in multiple output messages (potentially with different frequencies), the count value becomes unpredictable.
