High Speed Output Functions
On units that support High Speed Output functions, two dedicated outputs are available that can be
configured for one of four modes of operation. Those modes are Normal, PWM, HSC Match and
Stepper.
11.5.1 Normal
When either Q1 or Q2 is configured for Normal operation, the digital output registers %Q1 and %Q2
drives that respective output.
11.5.2 PWM
When either Q1 or Q2 is configured for PWM, the PWM function drives that respective output. Both PWM
channels may be individually enabled and can have independent frequency and duty cycles.
The PWMs require two parameters (%AQs) to be set for operation. These parameters may be set at runtime.
Duty Cycle - The Duty Cycle is a 32 bit value from 0 to 32,000 indicating the relative duty cycle of the
output. For example a value of 8000 would indicate a 25% duty cycle, a value of 16,000 would indicate a
50% duty cycle. 0 turns the output off, 32,000 turns the output on.
Duty Cycle
Frequency - The Frequency is a 32 bit value indicating the output frequency in Hertz. One over the
frequency is the period.

At controller power-up or during a download, the PWM output is maintained at zero until both the
Frequency and the Duty cycle are loaded with non-zero values. When the controller is placed in stop
mode, the state of the PWM outputs is dependent on the PWM State on Controller Stop configuration.
This configuration allows for either hold-last-state or specific frequency and duty cycle counts.
Specifying zero for either the period or duty causes the PWM output to remain low during stop mode.
NOTE: for standard I/O models (1E3, 1E4 and 1E5 models,) the maximum recommended PWM
frequency is 5000Hz, due to the limitations of built-in output circuitry. The HE-XHSQ generates 24V pulse
outputs with a recommended max of 400,000Hz. The HE-XHSQ-5 generates 5V pulse outputs with a
recommended max of 1.0MHz. The addon HSQ and HSQ-5 module can be added to the 1E2 unit for
HSC function.
