6.6.3 Configuring the maximum pulse width
The frequency output maximum pulse width defines the maximum duration of each
pulse the transmitter sends to the frequency receiving device, as shown in
Figure 6-9.
Figure 6-9 Pulse width
The pulse width is configurable to values between 0 and 277 milliseconds.
As the frequency increases, at some point the pulse width will become equivalent to the desired output
frequency. This frequency is called the crossover frequency, and is calculated as follows:
Note: Although you can set maximum pulse width to 0, it is not useful because it will result in an
undefined crossover frequency.
At frequencies above the crossover frequency, the output changes to a 50% duty cycle as shown in
Figure 6-10.
Figure 6-10 50% duty cycle
Example
Maximum appropriate flowrate (TV rate factor) is 2000 lbs/min.
Receiving device is configured for 10 pulses/pound.
Solution:
Configuration:
• TV frequency factor = 333.33
• TV rate factor = 2000
