Class MotionMagicExpoTorqueCurrentFOC

Namespace

CTRE.Phoenix6.Controls

Assembly

Phoenix6.Hardware.dll

Requires Phoenix Pro; Requests Motion Magic® to target a final position using an exponential motion profile. Users can optionally provide a torque current feedforward.

Motion Magic® Expo produces a motion profile in real-time while attempting to honor the Cruise Velocity (optional) and the mechanism kV and kA, specified via the Motion Magic® configuration values. Note that unlike the slot gains, the Expo_kV and Expo_kA configs are always in output units of Volts.

Setting Cruise Velocity to 0 will allow the profile to run to the max possible velocity based on Expo_kV. This control mode does not use the Acceleration or Jerk configs.

Target position can be changed on-the-fly and Motion Magic® will do its best to adjust the profile. This control mode is based on torque current, so relevant closed-loop gains will use Amperes for the numerator.

public MotionMagicExpoTorqueCurrentFOC(double Position)

Parameters

Position double

Fields

FeedForward

Feedforward to apply in torque current in Amperes. This is added to the output of the onboard feedforward terms.

User can use motor's kT to scale Newton-meter to Amperes.

• Units: A

public double FeedForward

Field Value

double

IgnoreHardwareLimits

Set to true to ignore hardware limit switches and the LimitForwardMotion and LimitReverseMotion parameters, instead allowing motion.

This can be useful on mechanisms such as an intake/feeder, where a limit switch stops motion while intaking but should be ignored when feeding to a shooter.

The hardware limit faults and Forward/ReverseLimit signals will still report the values of the limit switches regardless of this parameter.

public bool IgnoreHardwareLimits

Field Value

bool

IgnoreSoftwareLimits

Set to true to ignore software limits, instead allowing motion.

This can be useful when calibrating the zero point of a mechanism such as an elevator.

The software limit faults will still report the values of the software limits regardless of this parameter.

public bool IgnoreSoftwareLimits

Field Value

bool

LimitForwardMotion

Set to true to force forward limiting. This allows users to use other limit switch sensors connected to robot controller. This also allows use of active sensors that require external power.

public bool LimitForwardMotion

Field Value

bool

LimitReverseMotion

Set to true to force reverse limiting. This allows users to use other limit switch sensors connected to robot controller. This also allows use of active sensors that require external power.

public bool LimitReverseMotion

Field Value

bool

OverrideCoastDurNeutral

Set to true to coast the rotor when output is zero (or within deadband). Set to false to use the NeutralMode configuration setting (default). This flag exists to provide the fundamental behavior of this control when output is zero, which is to provide 0A (zero torque).

public bool OverrideCoastDurNeutral

Field Value

bool

Position

Position to drive toward in rotations.

• Units: rotations

public double Position

Field Value

double

Slot

Select which gains are applied by selecting the slot. Use the configuration api to set the gain values for the selected slot before enabling this feature. Slot must be within [0,2].

public int Slot

Field Value

int

UpdateFreqHz

The frequency at which this control will update. This is designated in Hertz, with a minimum of 20 Hz (every 50 ms) and a maximum of 1000 Hz (every 1 ms). Some update frequencies are not supported and will be promoted up to the next highest supported frequency.

If this field is set to 0 Hz, the control request will be sent immediately as a one-shot frame. This may be useful for advanced applications that require outputs to be synchronized with data acquisition. In this case, we recommend not exceeding 50 ms between control calls.

public double UpdateFreqHz

Field Value

double

UseTimesync

Set to true to delay applying this control request until a timesync boundary (requires Phoenix Pro and CANivore). This eliminates the impact of nondeterministic network delays in exchange for a larger but deterministic control latency.

This requires setting the ControlTimesyncFreqHz config in MotorOutputConfigs. Additionally, when this is enabled, the UpdateFreqHz of this request should be set to 0 Hz.

public bool UseTimesync

Field Value

bool

Property Value

Status of the send operation

ToString()

Provides the string representation of this object.
