Innovative Encoder Technology

Incremental Encoders Use an incremental encoder when retention of absolute position upon power loss is not required. Examples include velocity control and simple point-to-point applications. Absolute Encoders Use absolute encoders when position data must be retained after loss of power. Examples include robotics, lead ball screws, overhead cranes, and rack and pinion applications. Linear Encoders Use linear encoders and wire-draw systems to measure incremental or absolute position along any axis. Linear encoders can be used in applications up to 1.7km long. Format Adjustment Drives Use format adjustment drives for automation of auxiliary axes usually found in packaging, machine tooling and food and beverage machines. Stand-alone Motor Feedback Encoders Use stand-alone motor feedback encoders for absolute feedback with high resolution on motors.

Incremental Encoders

Use an incremental encoder when retention of absolute position upon power loss is not required.
Basic Operation of Optical Rotary Incremental Encoders Incremental encoders have five main components: LED light source Rotating code disk Stationary mask Photodetector(s) Amplifying/squaring electronics

As the code disk rotates in front of the stationary mask, it shutters light from the LED. The light that passes through the mask is received by the photodetector, which produces pulses in the form of a quasi-sine wave. The encoder electronics convert the sine wave into a square signal, ready for transmission to a counter. Application examples include velocity control and simple point-to-point applications. Conventional Code Disks Conventional incremental code disks contain a fixed number of equally spaced opaque lines that produce a corresponding number of pulses per revolution (PPR). Each line count requires a unique code disk. The position and spacing of the lines on the disk requires a high degree of precision. Physical limitations determine the maximum number of lines that can be created on a code disk of a given size. However, using new technology, our new DFS family will allow up to 65,536 lines and certain versions of the encoder will allow the customer to program it and reprogram it to various line counts, as needed.
Electronics board (Signal conditioning)

Tachometer Encoders A single channel (e.g. A) incremental encoder, or tachometer, is used in systems that operate in only one direction and require simple velocity information. Velocity can be determined from the time interval between pulses, or by the number of pulses within a given time period. Quadrature Encoders Quadrature encoders have dual channels, A and B, which are electrically phased 90 apart. Thus, direction of rotation can be determined by monitoring the phase relationship between the two channels. In addition, with a dual-channel encoder, a four times multiplication of resolution can be achieved by externally counting the rising and falling edges of each channel (A and B). For example, an encoder that produces 2,500 pulses per revolution can generate 10,000 counts after quadrature.

Differential Outputs Correct position information can depend on eliminating false signals caused by external electrical noise. An encoder with complemented outputs, in combination with a control that uses differential operational-amplifiers, can minimize noise problems. When channel A goes high, its complement channel A goes low. Electrical noise will affect both channels in the same way, and can thus be ignored by the differential op-amps. Marker Pulse The zero, or marker pulse is a rectangular pulse that is transmitted once per revolution. It is used as a reference to a defined mechanical position, mainly during commissioning or start-up after power loss. With our Coretech series, this can be set by a push button or by applying on a signal wire.

Advantages of Using DFS Encoders Versus Conventional Encoders

Conventional Encoders Limited Pulses Per Revolution Many industrial applications require a higher line count than has been available with traditional incremental encoders. In the past, there were several ways to increase resolution: quadrature, interpolation, or using a larger encoder.

The DFS Solution The DFS has a completely new ASIC design, which provides 1 to 65,536 pulses per revolution, and up to 262,144 counts after quadrature; significantly increasing resolution available in incremental encoders.

Shock, Vibration & Temperature Limitations

The DFS encoder features a nickel code disc The rotating discs used in encoders are typically designed both for increased robustness and a glass or plastic. Glass discs can shatter when higher temperature tolerance (-20+100C). exposed to excessive vibration or shock. Plastic discs, while they wont shatter, cannot achieve the same level of accuracy as glass discs. Additionally, they are limited to a lower working temperature, rendering them unsuitable for the temperature tolerances often required in harsh environments. The life of an encoder bearing can be shortened by several factors: high shaft loads, high speeds of rotation, and shaft misalignment. Once a bearing fails, the encoder needs to be replaced. The loads on the bearings have been greatly reduced on the DFS due to the 30 mm distance between the bearings. This greater bearing distance also decreases vibration of the encoder, which helps extend the life of the bearings. The programmable versions of the DFS allow the user to program the encoder to the line count desired and reprogram it, as needed. Additionally, zero set and electrical interface (to either TTL or HTL) can be programmed, which is very unique to SICK|STEGMANN DFS encoders. A simple programming tool connected to a PC with a USB cable is used for all programming functions.

Bearing Lifetime and Run Out

Programmability Typical encoders are shipped by the manufacturer with the customers desired line count, pulse and electrical interface preset and unchangeable. This means that if customers need several encoders with various line counts and/or electrical interfaces, they will need to have several encoders for backup in inventory.

Axial and Radial Cable Outlets

Currently, when users require cable outlets for their encoders, they have the choice of a radial or axial outlet. It is possible they will need encoders with both in the same environment requiring additional inventory. Also, if the cable is somehow damaged, the encoder has to be returned to the manufacturer who will repair the encoder by replacing the cable.

The DFS encoders are available with a pluggable outlet that can be used in either a radial or axial direction which requires less installation depth. Since it is detachable, if the cable is damaged, no repair is necessary by the manufacturer. The customer can simply order a new cable and plug it into the encoder. Various cable lengths and connectors at the end of the cable are also available. High shaft loading High operating speed Programmable versions come with diagnostic function that reads shaft position

Absolute Encoders Single and Multi-Turn

Use absolute encoders when position data must be retained after loss of power.
Basic Operation of Optical Rotary Absolute Encoders As with incremental encoders, absolute optical rotary encoders use a rotating disk to interrupt the light path to a photodetector, which produces an output signal. However, absolute encoders read uniquely coded tracks to generate position information. No two adjacent positions are alike. Therefore, absolute encoders do not lose position data when power is lost. True position is available as soon as power is restored. Application examples include robotics, lead/ball screws, overhead cranes, and rack an pinion applications. Conventional Optical Absolute Encoder Disks A conventional absolute encoder disk features a series of concentric tracks, each consisting of a pattern of transparent and opaque segments. These independent tracks provide a unique combination of absolute values for each resolvable position. One track is needed for each bit of position information that is output as either a serial or parallel data word. The preferred code format is Gray Code, in which only one bit of information changes between adjacent positions on the disk. This limits the position error from the track sensors to plus or minus one count. Other available codes, such as Natural Binary or Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), may have several bits change between adjacent positions. Magnetic Absolute Encoders Many applications require resistance to extremely high shock and vibration, wide temperature variations, or high humidity with condensation. Our magnetic absolute encoders meet these unique challenges. Magnetic field strength of a proprietary 32-pole magnetic ring is measured using two strategically spaced magneto-resistors that pick up variation of the magnetic field intensity along the circumference of the ring. The resulting 32 sine/ cosine signals per turn (5-bit) are then enhanced by 8-bit interpolation. A single northsouth pole magnet, read by a Hall effect sensor, is used to assign absolute values to individual sine/cosine cycles. Thus, the 32-pole magnetic ring is calibrated for a 13-bit single-turn absolute position feedback. Additional software is used to compensate for temperature variation and resulting differential thermal expansion to insure data integrity. Electronic Zero Position Teach With all our absolute encoders, the zero position is electronically assigned by the user to the current mechanical position by activation of a pushbutton or set line. No mechanical detachment or rotation of the encoder is necessary.

Encoder Technology

Serial Transmission We developed SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface) to offer a cost-effective solution for long cable runs. The encoder produces serial data which is transmitted using only six wires, regardless of encoder resolution. This is ideal for transmission at high speed over long distances up to 3000 feet. Superior noise immunity is achieved using differential clock and data signals.

Single- and Multi-Turn Absolute Encoders Use single-turn encoders when the full range of motion in the application occurs within one full revolution (360) of the encoder shaft. Multi-turn encoders are recommended for applications involving multiple revolutions of the encoder shaft.

In our multi-turn encoders, a high precision, miniaturized gear train, with a magnet on each gear stage, is used to mechanically store position information over as many as 8,192 turns. The position of each gear stage is determined with a pair of Hall sensors. This eliminates the need for costly and often unreliable counters and battery back up systems. Also, position changes that occur while the power is off are automatically tracked.

Serial to Parallel Conversion Module The AD-SSI-PA converter module can be used with our SSI absolute encoders to convert the transmitted data from serial to parallel format. These devices can be used if the control does not directly accept the SSI format. Fieldbus Systems Our absolute encoders can also be supplied with popular fieldbus interfaces including DeviceNet, Profibus, and CANopen.

Advantages of Absolute Encoders

NON - VO L ATI L E M E MOR Y Absolute encoders are nonvolatile position verification devices. True position is not lost if the power fails. Continuous reading of position is not required. PROT E CTION NOI S E IMMUNIT Y Absolute encoders determine position by continually reading a coded signal. Stray pulses will not accumulate and accurate position is available again on the next reading.

In some applications, a loss of position could result in damage to the machinery or injury to the operator. An absolute encoder provides position verification the moment power is applied without requiring movement to a reference position.

Length Measuring Systems

Linear Encoders and Wire-Draw Systems

Use linear encoders to measure incremental or absolute position along any axis. Linear encoders can be used in applications up to 1.7kilometers long.

L 230 Magnetic (Lincoder) The Lincoder system consists of a magnetic tape and sensor head. The magnetic tape provides the scale for measuring systems up to 40 meters long. The absolute information is magnetized onto the tape in a 12-bit sequential code. This position information is enhanced by interpolation of sine/ cosine signals provided by an additional incremental track that is magnetized on the tape. The magnetic tape is laminated onto a ferromagnetic steel strip, which is used both as a magnetic return path and a dimensionally stable mounting aid. The magnetic tape is supplied with an adhesive back for mounting by the user. A non-contact magnetic sensor with integrated electronics is mounted to the apparatus whose position is to be measured. As the sensor moves over the measuring tape, its position is output with a resolution as low as 1 m over a 16 meter range, or 10 m over a 40 meter range. Position data is output via real-time compensated SSI (Synchronous Serial Interface), HIPERFACE, or RS 485. The Lincoder is also programmable via RS 485, and a number of parameters such as offset, resolution and start points can be configured by the user.

KH 53 (Pomux) and Advanced KH 53 Long Distance Linear Encoders This style of encoder is unique to SICK|STEGMANN and allows absolute measurement of up to 1.7 kilometers! The KH53 consists of two basic components: Omega Profile sections and the sensor head. Each Omega Profile section contains a number of powerful permanent magnets. The separation between each magnet is unique and never repeated. These unique separations build up a code over the complete measurement path. In a working system, several Omega Profile sections are placed end to end along the complete measurement path. The total length of the system determines the number of profiles required. Each profile section is labeled with an identification number indicating the order in which the sections should be mounted. The sensor head moves over the Omega Profile sections without contact, and produces absolute positional data. The KH53 allows a generous vertical tolerance of 10 mm around a 25 mm nominal value, and a horizontal tolerance of 10 mm around the centerline. The output is available in SSI, and Profibus. Other networks can be realized using commercially available I/O modules. In addition, this modular system offers several benefits to the user. If the measurement length of the system needs to increase in the future, the user simply needs to mount the extra profiles required. If the Omega Profile becomes damaged, only the damaged sections need to be replaced. The Advanced KH 53 has 54 m or 548 m measuring lengths, a positional/mounting tolerance to 20 mm, and an operating temperature of -30 to 70C. The Advanced KH 53 has the added advantage of requiring less installation time than the standard KH 53.

BTF/PRF Wire-Draw Encoders Wire-draw encoders are linear-to-rotational, industrial motion conversion modules, coupled with encoder feedback, to provide cost-effective linear position measurement solutions that precisely fit your requirements. These systems are housed in rugged industrial enclosures, and contain a stainless steel or thermoplastic composite cable wound on a precise, constantdiameter spool. The cable is attached to the apparatus whose position is being measured, and is extended and retracted as the apparatus moves. A spring on the spool maintains cable tension. Position feedback is provided by a standard incremental or absolute rotary shaft encoder. These position transducers allow very flexible measuring paths, since the cable can be guided around obstacles using pulleys, etc. The heavy-duty enclosure of the encoder and spool housing provide excellent protection against contaminants, shock and other abuses.

BKS/PKS Wire-Draw Encoders In these compact wire-draw encoders, the encoder is integrated into the wire-draw mechanism to minimize the size of the unit. The number of drum rotations, which is proportional to the length being measured, is counted by an encoder and converted to a standard encoder output signal. This provides high-resolution position or distance information for linear measurement paths, even under difficult mounting conditions. Precise linear guidance, as required for other length measurement systems, is not necessary. The choice between absolute and incremental wire-draw encoders enables made-to-measure solutions for many applications: SSI interface for absolute wire-draw encoders, TTL interface for incremental wire-draw encoders. Both interfaces are common in automation technology and meet its exacting requirements. The measuring lengths up to 5 m cover most of the possible applications, for example in: Presses, punching and injection machines, storage technology, wood and sheet metal processing machines, construction machinery, medical technology and many other industries.

HIPERDRIVE Format Adjustment Positioning Drives

HIPERDRIVE
HIPERDRIVE (Highly Integrated Performance Drive) is an integrated drive system with absolute positioning, suitable for all kinds of format adjustment in machines and installations. The operations system includes a motor, gears, absolute encoder and field bus communication capability. Modern logistic concepts call for smaller batch sizes in many production areas, with numerous adjustments being performed during product changeovers. The HIPERDRIVES ensure efficient, cost-effective and high-precision automation of adjustments to auxiliary axes. This process is normally called format adjustment, but in some markets, automatic size change is more familiar. The HDA family, with a maximum torque rating of 20 Nm, and the HRA family, with a torque rating of 1 Nm to 12 Nm, are the results of a consistent and complete integration of power transmission, brushless DC motor, absolute encoder and power electronics into one positioning drive.

Motor Feedback Meets Factory Automation

The HIPERFACE interface adapter modules allow users to connect single-turn or multi-turn encoders that have the HIPERFACE interface to systems using other communication protocols, opening up a variety of application options in all areas of automation technology. In conjunction with a HIPERFACE interface adapter module, encoders can be used in a broad range of applications in automation technology. For example where: High encoder resolutions are necessary up to 262,000 counts per turn can be generated easily in the interface adapter via interpolation of the HIPERFACE encoder signals. Space is very limited. Environmental conditions such as dirt, temperature, shock and/or vibration must be isolated from the electronics.
