IT3402C Triple Channel Rotary Encoder Kit Product data Features • Highly miniaturized encoder • Differential inductive sensing principle • Insensitive to magnetic interference fields • Robust against oil, water, dust, particles • Ultra-thin encoder and codewheel (total < 2 mm) • Optional with cable, connector and holder Applications • Brushed and brushless motors • Industrial / laboratory / office automation • Rotary stages • Robotics, assembly equipment Key Specifications Description The IT3402C incremental encoder kit consists of an encoder and a codewheel (Fig. 1). The encoder consists of two integrated circuits in a PCB housing. It provides incremental A and B output signals in quadrature and an Index signal, which is synchronous to A and B (Fig. 2). The codewheel is a PCB with passive copper strips. Resolution, maximum speed and airgap The resolution and the maximum speed of the encoder are user-programmable or can be programmed ex-factory. The resolution depends on a filter setting that limits the maximum speed of the encoder vs. the codewheel. The resolution also depends on the maximum distance between the encoder and the codewheel. Tables 2 and 3 allow the configuration of resolution and maximum speed for a certain maximum air-gap. Codewheel The codewheel is shown in Fig. 4 and is selected in Table 5. The codewheel may be mounted on a hub, using a rim for accurate positioning in front of the encoder. Encoder holders Different encoder holder options are available and can be selected in Table 6. The encoder holder type A (Fig. 5) may be mounted on any substrate using 4 screw-holes. It has a strain relief for the cable. The encoder holder type B (Fig. 3) may be mounted on any substrate. Use half-holes on encoder PCB housing and alignment pins for accurate positioning. The encoder without holder may be mounted on non-metallic substrates. Use half-holes on encoder housing and alignment pins for accurate positioning. Encoder cable and connector The encoder is supplied with a flat cable of pitch 1.27 mm and a connector (Fig. 6). The cable type and length and the connector type are selected in Tables 7 and 8. 3D models of encoder, holders and codewheels STEP and IGES 3D models available on www.posic.com.

Specifications Recommended Operating Conditions Linearity For high-resolution high-precision applications, it is possible to linearize the encoder by means of a Look-Up Table (LUT) that is located inside the encoder. The LUT can be programmed in volatile or in non-volatile memory by means of the Evaluation and Programming Tool (EPT) or it can be pre-programmed ex-factory. The LUT option is selected in Table 4.
