Description

Measure the rotation of the encoder in counts.

The Count port outputs the timer counter value as uint32 data.

Examples

Signal Monitoring and Parameter Tuning of Generated PWM Output

Signal Monitoring and Parameter Tuning of Generated PWM Output

Use PWM Output block in a Simulink® model to generate PWM signals using Embedded Coder® Support Package for STMicroelectronics® STM32 Processors.

Getting Started with STMicroelectronics STM32 Processor Based Boards

Open Model

Ports

Input

expand all

Use this port to reset the timer counter.

Providing input as 1, it sets the counter value to:

  • 0 - If the timer counter is counting upwards

  • AutoReload Register (ARR) value - if the timer counter is counting downwards.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable timer counter reset input parameter.

Data Types: Boolean | uint16 | uint32 | int8 | uint8 | int16 | int32 | uint64 | int64 | single | double

Output

expand all

The Count port outputs the current timer counter value as uint32 data.

Data Types: uint32

The block outputs the current direction of the counter as one of the following:

  • 0 - Up counter

  • 1 - Down counter

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable timer counter direction output parameter.

Data Types: Boolean

The port outputs if any index or transition error are detected.

  • 0 - No error is detected

  • 1 - Transition error is detected

  • 2 - Index error is detected

  • 3- Both Index and transition error are detected

Index error is detected when IERRF flag is set and transition error is detected when TERRF flag is set in the TIMx_SR status register. For more information, see Encoder error management section in the STM32G4xx reference manual.

Note

The Status port is available only for STM32G4xx based boards.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Output status parameter.

Data Types: uint8

Outputs 0 till the first index pulse is received.

  • 0 - Until the first index pulse is received

  • 1 - After the first index pulse is received

Note

  • The Index Recvd port is available only for STM32G4xx based boards.

  • Enable this port only if Encoder Mode + index is set as Combined Channels mode in STM32CubeMX project (Timer > TIM# > Mode > Combined Channels).

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Output if first index pulse is received parameter.

Data Types: Boolean

Parameters

expand all

Select the timer module.

Note

  • Ensure that Timer module is also configured in the STM32CubeMX project.

  • Ensure the Combined channels mode in STM32CubeMX project (Timer > TIM# > Mode > Combined Channels) is:

    • Encoder Mode - for STM32H7xx, F7xx and F4xx boards

    • Encoder Mode or Encoder Mode + Index - for STM32G4xx board

Enable the input to reset the counter.

Enabling this option adds an input port Reset, which can be used to reset the timer counter value.

Enable this parameter to output the current direction of the counter.

Enable this parameter to show encoder counts only after first index pulse is received.

If this parameter is selected, the counts port outputs 0 till the first index pulse is received. After receiving the first index pulse, counts port outputs the current timer counter value.

Note

  • This parameter is available only for STM32G4xx based boards.

  • Enable this port only if Encoder Mode + index is set as Combined Channels mode in STM32CubeMX project (Timer > TIM# > Mode > Combined Channels).

When you select the Output if first index pulse is received parameter, the block configures an output port, Index Recvd. This port outputs 0 till the first index pulse is received.

Note

  • This parameter is available only for STM32G4xx based boards.

  • Enable this port only if Encoder Mode + index is set as Combined Channels mode in STM32CubeMX project (Timer > TIM# > Mode > Combined Channels).

Select this parameter to output status of read data. Status output 1 indicates overrun error.

When you select the Output Status parameter, the block configures an output port, Status. This port outputs if any Index or transition error is detected.

Specify how often (in seconds) the status of enabled output ports are read if no input ports are selected. Enter a value greater than zero. When you specify this parameter as -1, Simulink® determines the best sample time for the block based on the block context within the model.

Dependencies

To enable this port, unselect the Enable timer counter reset input parameter.
