The drive can accept a pulse width modulated signal (PWM) signal to provide a current
command in current mode and a velocity command in velocity mode. The PWM input can be
programmed for two formats: 50% duty cycle (one-wire) and 100% duty cycle (two-wire).

The input takes a PWM waveform of fixed frequency and variable duty cycle. As shown below,
a 50% duty cycle produces zero output from the drive. Increasing the duty cycle toward 100%
commands a positive output, and decreasing the duty cycle toward zero commands a negative
output.
The command can be inverted so that increased duty cycle commands negative output and
vice versa.

One input takes a PWM waveform of fixed frequency and variable duty cycle, and the other
input takes a DC level that controls the polarity of the output. A 0% duty cycle creates a zero
command, and a 100% duty cycle creates a maximum command level. The command can be
inverted so that increasing the duty cycle decreases the output and vice versa.

In both formats, the drive can be programmed to interpret 0 or 100% duty cycle as a zero
command. This prevents the 0% or 100% commands that would result from a controller
failure or a cable break which could result in the input pulled up to +5V or pulled-down to
Signal Ground (0V).
