Average RPM
This MotoHawk™ block returns the Average RPM.
Block ID
motohawk_encoder_average_rpm
Library
MotoHawk_lib/Encoder Blocks
Description
This MotoHawk™ block returns the Average RPM. The value is calculated based upon the time taken to traverse adjacent RPM sample points. The Period Sum time spans depicted in this figure represent an example time that could be used to calculate Average RPM.
The Flexible Encoder allows the RPM Sample points to be specified. The RPM Sample points are set to the values for top-dead-center(TDC) if the encoder is not of the flexible encoder type. The RPM may not be accurate until encoder synchronization has been achieved and may read as zero.
Block Parameters
Parameter Field | Values | Comments/Description |
---|---|---|
Output Resolution | Drop Down List | The default resolution is 1 RPM and the output data type is uint16. When the resolution is selected to be 1/256, the output is RPMx256 and the output port width will be uint32. |
