Hi,
In all rotarys with a triangular rotor and a "figure 8" rotor housing
there is one complete intake, compression, ignition, expansion and
exhaust sequence. This is PER ROTOR. (EG a 2 rotor engine will have 2
"power pulses" per engine rotation.

The Rotor turns at 1/3 eccentric shaft speed.

I've got an animated GIF that clearly shows how this works:

Cheers,
