AEDS-9240 Series
360/720 CPR Commutation Encoder Module
Data Sheet
Description
Features
The AEDS-9240 optical encoder is a six channel optical
incremental encoder module. When used with a codewheel, this encoder detects rotary position. Each module
consists of a lensed LED source and a detector IC enclosed
in a small plastic package. Due to a highly collimated light
source and a unique photo detector array, these modules
are extremely tolerant to mounting misalignment.
• Two-channel quadrature output with ungated index
pulse (A,B,I)
The AEDS-9240 encoder is designed with integrated commutation output channels (U,V,W), two-channel quadrature outputs (A,B), plus a third channel ungated index
output (I). This ungated index output is a positive index
pulse that is generated once for each full rotation of the
codewheel.
• Up to 150 kHz frequency response
The AEDS-9240 encoder is designed for use with a codewheel that has an optical radius of 19.00 mm (0.748 inch)
to obtain an optimum 360/720 CPR (count per revolution)
resolution.
• RoHS Compliant
The quadrature, index, commutation signals and power
supplied to encoder are accessed through eight 0.46mm
square male connector pins located on 1.27mm pitch.
The AEDS-9240 optical encoder also provides advanced
motion control detection. Its integrated commutation
outputs (U,V, and W) is equivalent to those produced by
Hall Switches. Thus, this makes the encoder ideal for servo
motor applications. Application of the AEDS-9240 encoder also enables motor systems to be more compact.
In addition, the provision of alignment jigs enables a significantly reduced production time and ease of assembly
into housed encoders. The encoder also provides superior
switching accuracy due to a much lower hysteresis when
compared to Hall Switches. Its commutation signals can
easily be interchanged for Brushless DC motor of different
rotor pole-pairs by simply switching to matching polepair codewheels.
• Three-channel integrated commutation Output (UVW)
• 360/720 Cycle Per Revolution (CPR)
• Easy assembly with alignment jig
• Design to fit into circular shaped housing
• -40°C to 100°C operating temperature
• TTL Compatible
• Single 5V Supply
• Integrated feedback device for Brushless DC Motor
Applications
Typical applications include industrial printers, plotters,
tape drives, industrial and factory automation equipment.
Note:
Avago Technologies encoders are not recommended for use in safety
critical application, e.g., ABS braking systems, power steering, life support systems and critical care medical equipment. Please contact sales
representative if more clarification is needed.
Theory of Operation
Definition
The AEDS-9240 optical encoder is an emitter/detector
module. Coupled with a codewheel, these modules translate the rotary motion of a shaft into a six-channel digital
output.
Count (N): The number of electrical cycles per revolution
The modules contain a single Light Emitting Diode (LED)
as its light source. The light is collimated into a parallel
beam by means of a single polycarbonate lens located directly over the LED. Opposite the emitter is the integrated
detector circuit. This IC consists of multiple sets of photo
detectors and the signal processing circuitry necessary to
produce the digital waveforms.
The codewheel rotates between the emitter and detector,
causing the light beam to be interrupted by the pattern of
spaces and bars on the codewheel.
The photodiodes that detect these interruptions are arranged in a pattern that corresponds to the radius and
design of the code-wheel. These detectors are also deliberately spaced such that a light period on one pair of detectors corresponds to a dark period on the adjacent pair
of detectors.
The photodiode outputs are then fed through the signal
processing circuitry resulting in A, /A, B, /B, I, and /I. Comparators receive these signals and produce the final outputs for channels A and B. Due to this integrated phasing
technique, the digital output of channel A is in quadrature with that of channel B (90 mechanical degrees out of
phase). The commutation feedback (U, V, W) signals are
generated based on the codewheel design.
(CPR). CPR refers to the raw signal from encoder that is the
cycles before 4x decode.
One Cycle: 360 electrical degrees (°e).
One Shaft Rotation: 360 mechanical degrees.
Cycle Error (ΔC): An indication of cycle uniformity. The dif-
ference between an observed shaft angle which gives rise
to one electrical cycle, and the nominal angular increment
of 1/N of a revolution.
Pulse Width (P): The number of electrical degrees that an
output is high during 1 cycle. This value is nominally 180°e
or 1/2 cycle.
Pulse Width Error (ΔP): The deviation, in electrical degrees,
of the pulse width from its ideal value of 180°e.
State Width (S): The numbers of electrical degrees between
transitions in the output of channel A and the neighboring transition in the output of channel B. There are 4 states
per cycle, each nominally 90°e.
State Width Error (ΔS): The deviation, in electrical degrees,
of each state width from its ideal value of 90°e.
Commutation Accuracy (ΔI): The deviation, in mechanical
degrees, after shaft rotates passes the reference point (Index channel) to the first U channel pulse. The measurement from middle of channel I to channel U.
Phase (f): The numbers of electrical degrees between the
center of the high state of channel A and the center of the
high state of channel B.
This value is nominally 90 °e for quadrature output.
Phase Error (Δf): The deviation of the phase from its ideal
value of 90°e.
Direction of Rotation: When the codewheel rotates in the
clockwise direction viewing from top of the module, channel A will lead channel B. If the codewheel rotates in the
opposite 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.
Index Pulse Width (Po): The number of electrical degrees
that an index is high with reference to channel A or channel B during one full shaft rotation
