CoreTalonFXSetControl(DifferentialDutyCycle) Method

Request a specified motor duty cycle with a differential position closed-loop.

This control mode will output a proportion of the supplied voltage which is supplied by the user. It will also set the motor's differential position setpoint to the specified position.

DifferentialDutyCycle Parameters

  • TargetOutput – Proportion of supply voltage to apply in fractional units between -1 and +1
  • DifferentialPosition – Differential position to drive towards in rotations
  • EnableFOC – Set to true to use FOC commutation (requires Phoenix Pro), which increases peak power by ~15%. Set to false to use trapezoidal commutation. FOC improves motor performance by leveraging torque (current) control. However, this may be inconvenient for applications that require specifying duty cycle or voltage. CTR-Electronics has developed a hybrid method that combines the performances gains of FOC while still allowing applications to provide duty cycle or voltage demand. This not to be confused with simple sinusoidal control or phase voltage control which lacks the performance gains.
  • DifferentialSlot – Select which gains are applied to the differential controller 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].
  • OverrideBrakeDurNeutral – Set to true to static-brake 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 0V to the motor.
