Function Return Value/Unit in Motor Control Code

[Texram]

Hi,

I'm using 6 Step Motor Control and wonder what's the unit of the returned value from STC_GetDutyCycleRef() in speed_ctrl.c?

I set the reference speed to 1000rpm. After I started running a motor, I saw the returned value from STC_GetDutyCycleRef(), ramping up to 3200 from 0.

I would expect the returned value from STC_GetDutyCycleRef() to be 0 - 100 (%).

What's the unit of the returned value from STC_GetDutyCycleRef() ?

 

Thanks

Similar questions to other Motor Control APIs (defined in mc_api.c/.h)

For instance, what's the unit of the returned value from MC_GetMecSpeedReferenceMotor1()?

In the debug mode, I read the value of MC_GetMecSpeedReferenceMotor1() is about 165, but Motor Pilot reports about 1000rmp.
