Agilent AEDS-962x for 300 LPI Ultra Small Optical Encoder Modules Data Sheet Features * Very small * Low package height * Built-in codewheel and codestrip guide bumps * Wide resolution range * For linear and rotary applications * No signal adjustment required * Insensitive to radial and axial play * 0C to +70C operating temperature Description This is a very small, low package height and high performance incremental encoder module. When operated in conjunction with either a codewheel or codestrip, this module detects rotary or linear position. The encoder consists of a lensed LED source and a detector IC enclosed in a small C-shaped plastic package. Due to a highly collimated light source and a unique photodetector array, the module is extremely tolerant to mounting misalignment. The two-channel digital outputs and 3.3 V supply input are accessed through four solder plated leads located on 2.00 mm (0.1 inch) centers. The supply input of the LED, rated at 16 mA, is accessed through two leads located at 2.54 mm. It is designed for use with an 23.36 mm optical radius codewheel or linear codestrip. Other options are available. Please contact the factory for more information. Applications The AEDS-962x provides sophisticated motion detection, making closed-loop control very cost effective. Typical applications include printers, plotters, copiers, and office automation equipment. Note: Agilent Technologies' encoders are not recommended for use in safety critical applications, eg., ABS braking systems and critical-care medical equipment. Please contact a sales representative if more clarification is needed. Theory of Operation The AEDS-962x is a C-shaped emitter/detector module. Coupled with a codewheel, it translates rotary motion into a two-channel digital output. Coupled with a codestrip, it translates linear motion into digital outputs. As seen in Figure 1, the module contains a single Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source. * Two-channel quadrature output * TTL 3.3 V CMOS compatible * Wave solderable The light is collimated into a parallel beam by means of a single lens located directly over the LED. Opposite the emitter is the integrated detector circuit. This IC consists of multiple sets of photodetectors and the signal processing circuitry necessary to produce the digital waveforms. The codewheel/codestrip moves between the emitter and detector, causing the light beam to be interrupted by the pattern of spaces and bars on the codewheel/codestrip. The photodiodes which detect these interruptions are arranged in a pattern that corresponds to the radius and count density of the codewheel/codestrip. These detectors are also spaced such that a light period on one pair of ESD WARNING: NORMAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE. detectors corresponds to a dark period on the adjacent pair of detectors. The photodiode outputs are fed through the signal processing circuitry. Two comparators receive these signals and produce the final outputs for channels A and B. Due to this integrated phasing technique, the output of channel A is in quadrature with channel B (90 degrees out of phase). Definitions Note: Refer to Figure 2. Count (N) = The number of bar and window pairs or counts per revolution (CPR) of the codewheel. One Cycle (C) = 360 electrical degrees (e) = 1 bar and window pair Pulse Width (P): The number of electrical degrees that an output is high during one cycle. This value is nominally 180e or 1/2 cycle. Pulse Width Error (P): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of the pulse width from its ideal value of 180e. State Width (S): The number of electrical degrees between a transition in the output of channel A and the neighboring transition in the output of channel B. There are 4 states per cycle, each nominally 90e. State Width Error (S): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of each state width from its ideal value of 90e. Phase (): The number of electrical degrees between the center of the high state of channel A and the center of the high state of channel B. One Shaft Rotation = 360 mechanical degrees = N cycles each state width from its ideal value of 90e. Phase Error (): The deviation of the phase from its ideal value of 90e. Direction of Rotation: When the codewheel rotates in the counterclockwise direction (as viewed from the encoder end of the motor), channel A will lead channel B. If the codewheel rotates in the clockwise direction, channel B will lead channel A. Optical Radius (ROP): The distance from the codewheel's center of rotation to the optical center (O.C.) of the encoder module. Angular Misalignment Error (EA): Angular misalignment of the sensor in relation to the tangential direction. This applies for both rotary and linear motion. Mounting Position (RM): The distance from motor shaft center of rotation to center of alignment tab receiving hole.
