Encoder Types and Applications
Encoders, either incremental or absolute, are used in industries such as paper, steel, and robotics. Incremental encoders provide velocity feedback or relative positioning, while absolute encoders offer precise positioning and digital speed calculation.
Product Series Overview- Model 300 Series: Miniature encoders for space-constrained applications, supporting TTL, HTL, and RS-422 interfaces.
- Model 500 Series: Versatile encoders for industrial applications, offering customizable solutions.
- Model 600 Series: Industrial encoders with fieldbus interfaces like Ethernet, PROFIBUS, or CAN.
- Model 800 Series: Heavy-duty encoders with optional ADS™ for maintenance and reliability in demanding environments.
Encoder Technology
Leine & Linde encoders use optical scanning with precise graduations for high-quality output signals. Absolute encoders provide immediate position values, while incremental encoders offer relative positioning and velocity feedback.
Measuring Principles and Accuracy
Key parameters for encoders include resolution, line count, and pulse rate. Incremental encoders have a permissible accuracy of ±50 el°, while absolute encoders have an accuracy of ±1 LSB. Calibration charts are available upon request.
Incremental Encoder SpecificationsOutput signals are incremental with edge evaluation, and channel separation should be 90 ±25 el°. The duty cycle is typically 180 elº or 1:1. Each encoder is verified for accuracy, channel separation, and duty cycle.
Bearing Lifetime and Shaft Load
Lifetime is influenced by shaft bearings, load, speed, and temperature. High-quality lubricated bearings are used, with nominal dynamic shaft loads specified for a service life of approximately 50,000 hours at 1500 rpm. High-quality shaft-coupling and bearing boxes are recommended to minimize shaft load.
Vibration and Shock
Maximum vibration values apply for frequencies between 55 to 2000 Hz, and shock values are valid for 6 ms. Avoid using hammers for adjustments.
Environmental Conditions
Maximum relative humidity is 75%, temporarily 95%, with no condensation allowed. Storage temperature range is –30°C to +70°C, influenced by mounting conditions and self-heating.
Power Supply and Electrical Specifications
Encoders require stabilized DC voltage with specified ripple content. They meet electromagnetic compatibility standards for industrial environments when properly installed.
Mechanical and Installation Considerations
Encoders meet IP 67 protection standards, with parts painted or anodized, and stainless-steel options available. Comprehensive tests are required for systems integrating encoders.
Interfaces
TTL/RS-422 interfaces transmit incremental signals as digital square-wave pulse trains, with differential transmission available for noise-proof operation. HTL and HC-HTL electronics digitize sinusoidal scanning signals.
Incremental Signals and Fault Detection
Incremental signals are transmitted as digital square-wave pulse trains, phase-shifted by 90 degrees, with a reference mark signal and inverse signals for noise-proof differential transmission. A STATUS signal indicates fault conditions, useful for machine shutdowns during automated production.
Incremental Interfaces
The permissible cable length for incremental encoders with HTL signals depends on scanning frequency, power supply, and operating temperature. Various output signals and recommended electronics for TTL and HTL interfaces are outlined.
ADS System
The ADS system detects fault functions in rotating incremental pulse encoders, using rapid logic and a microprocessor to monitor encoder functions, allowing early fault detection. Fault information is communicated to the operator for analysis using diagnostic software.
Serial Transmission Interfaces
Several serial transmission standards for encoders are discussed, including EnDat, Parallel, Analog, BiLL, and SSI interfaces, each with specific characteristics like bidirectional communication and real-time data availability.
Fieldbus Interfaces
PROFIBUS DP, CANopen, and DeviceNet interfaces are covered. PROFIBUS DP supports various encoder profiles and functionalities, CANopen offers robust fieldbus communication with flexible configuration, and DeviceNet provides connections between industrial devices and controllers.
