Basics of Incremental Encoders Outputs - Alarm

TECHNICAL DATA

Output Output load max. Output level

Malfunction indication time

NPN - Open collector 5 mA / 24 V at UB = DC 5 V 5mA / 32 V at UB = DC 10- 30 V Output active (failure condition): L DC 0,7 V Output inactive: high impedance (if necessary: get H-level by an external pull-up resistor) 20 ms

FUNCTION

The rotary encoders are equipped with an electronic monitoring system that reports potential malfunctions via a separate alarm output. The alarm output can be used for selecting an optical display (LED; for circuit, see above) or the control system (SPC or similar). Moreover, the alarm outputs of several encoders can be interconnected to a common systems alarm by means of a parallel connection. The following errors are indicated: Category I - damaged disks - defective LED - contamination Category I malfunctions cannot be corrected; the encoder must be replaced. Category II malfunctions are detected by means of a thermal monitoring unit in the electronic system. The alarm message is cleared after the cause of temperature increase has been removed. Category III malfunctions indicate insufficient supply voltage. Also included in this category are transients in the supply voltage, e.g. due to electrostatic discharge, which may distort the output signals. This is corrected by - readjustment to the correct voltage - eliminating the cause of disturbance, i.e. by careful arrangement of the cables. Category II - overtemperature - overload (e. g. due to short circuit) Category III - voltage range DC 1 V < U < DC 4 V - voltage drop on the supply lines

Basics of Incremental Encoders Outputs - Sense at 5 V RS 422 (T)

1 2

Voltage drop due to long cable lengths Automatic readjustment of the output voltage (only for power packs with sense input)

FUNCTION

The sense wires enable measuring of the actual encoder supply voltage (compensates for voltage drops due to supply current and cable resistance). Due to the voltage drop in the cables and the voltage supply, the encoder input voltage Uin is less than the power pack output voltage Uout. The present input voltage Uin is now output to the Sense VCC and Sense GND cables and returns as data to the power pack. The input resistance Ri on the power pack should amount to at least 22 MOhm so that no voltage drop occurs on these cables. In case of power packs with sense input, it is now possible to readjust the output voltage Uout automatically.
