Page 10 Customer Interface Cable Requirements Customer cables that interface to Mercury series encoders must have the following characteristics: • T wisted pair signal wiring. • Characteristic impedance of 100-120 ohms. • Sufficient wire gauge to meet the minimum voltage requirement at the encoder , for example 24AWG gauge wire for a 2m lengt[...]

Introduction Historically , the method of choice for many optical position feedback systems has been A quad B (Quadrature) output. The limitation of this method is output speed, especially when the interpolation level is high. When the optical sensor speed and/or the interpolation multiplier is set high, the Quadrature output frequencies will be ex[...]

Index Processing A unique physical position is referenced on all gratings and is called an index position. The value of this position is determined during an index capture routine initiated by a button press or the SmartPrecision Software and is permanently stored for use after power cycling. The index value has the same resolution as the interpola[...]

The M3000SiDAA interpolator module can be configured quickly and easily using the SmartPrecision Software. The M3000SiDAA inter - polator will accept input from two separate encoders. The M3000SiDAA has three output channels. These can be configured to output the following: Channel 1, Channel 2, Average ((Ch1+Ch2)/2), and/or Difference (Ch1-Ch2). T[...]

Some applications do not require 18 bits of fringe count. The SPI Settings box allows the user to reduce the fringe counter to suit the applica- tion and thereby increasing the maximum sampling r[...]

Display Setting The Status Display in the center of the screen gives the user a snapshot of the interpolator con- figuration as well as Index posi- tion indication. The indicator light on the SmartPrecision soft- ware mimics the LED on the M3000SiDAA. The indicator will be green as long as the encoder is within the index window . Dual Axis Software[...]

Calibration - SmartPrecision Sof tware Calibration should be performed only after each of the encoders is aligned properly . Calibration can be initiated by either the Calibrate button using Smart Signal Software or through the recessed push button switch in the M3000SiDAA.
