(1) Objective: Sets the output percentage for the PWM port; the larger the value used, the longer the port will 
maintain a high level of output over the specified time period. (The basic frequency for the PWM port is 50Hz.)

 

(2) Type: Settings block

 

(3) Examples: Turn LED on/off, Rotate navigation gear

 

①

  Turn LED on/off

 

This enables you to connect an LED to any PWM port and then turn the LED on or off.

 

 

②

  Rotate navigation gear

 

This enables you to connect an external navigation gear to any PWM port and then control its rotation.
