ECU Hardware Manual Encoder Conditioning Unit

Chapter 1: Encoder Conditioning Unit (ECU)

The ECUinterface is designed for use with any 1 Vpp analog encoder.

It dynamically applies Automatic Offset, Balance and Gain Control (AOC, ABC, AGC) to the input signals.

Accurate, constant amplitude 1 Vpp industry standard signals are then output.

A tri-colored LED indicates input signal strength and allows ease of setup for optimum performance. If this

LED is not visible when the interface is installed, a separate external setup signal can be used and a

calibration cycle also helps to simplify installation.

These features result in the output signals having very low cyclic error, typically less than 50 nm.

The interface is fully RoHS compliant and also supports readheads with single or dual limit outputs.

lCompatible with all standard 1 Vpp analog output readheads

lOutputs accurate, industry standard, 1 Vpp analog differential signals

lLow cyclic error

lTri-color integral setup LED

lUser selectable automatic gain control (AGC)

lAutomatic offset and balance control (AOC and ABC)

lSingle or dual-limit capability

Encoder Conditioning Unit ECU Hardware Manual

1.1. Interface Features

1.1.1. Self-Tuning Active Correction

The ECU interface actively corrects for input signal imperfections to optimize system accuracy. Corrections

are made for the following:

Automatic Offset Control (AOC) adjusts offset independently for the sine and cosine signals

Automatic Gain Control (AGC) ensures consistent 1 Vpp signal amplitude

Automatic Balance Control (ABC) adjusts the gain to equalize the sine and cosine signals

These correction mechanisms operate over the full working speed range of the readhead. The user can

disable/enable the AGC by pressing the calibrate button for greater than 3 seconds.

1.1.2. LED Indicators

The tri-colored SETUP LED provides visual feedback of signal strength and error condition for setup and

diagnostic use. It flashes Off momentarily to indicate a reference mark, up to 100 mm/s only

Table 1-1: Setup LED

Color State Indication %

Purple FLASHING High Signal Alarm Condition >135%

ON High Signal >110% and <135%

Blue FLASHING Over Speed Alarm Condition

ON Optimum Signal >90% and <110%

Green ON Acceptable Signal >70% and <90%

Orange ON Low Signal >50% and <70%

Red ON Unacceptable Signal >20% and <50%

The Yellow CAL/AGC LED indicates when the ECU is in a calibration routine and whether or not AGC is

active

1.1.3. Calibration Procedure

The calibration procedure is required to optimize the gain, balance and offset of the analog input signals in

the ECU interface.These settings are then stored and recalled for initial use at startup.

To calibrate the system, the following sequence should be carried out:

lPrior to calibration, AGC should be off. To switch AGC on or off, the calibrate button should be

pressed for more than 3 seconds. When AGC is on, the CAL/AGC LED will be on and when AGC is

off, the CAL/AGC LED will be off.

lInstall the readhead and set up to obtain optimum (1 Vpp) signal amplitude

lEnter the calibration routine by pressing the CALIBRATE button momentarily. The calibration

routine is indicated by slow flashing of the CAL/AGC LED.

lTraverse the readhead slowly past the scale until the CAL/AGC LED stops flashing. The calibration

cycle is now complete.

If calibration fails, the CAL/AGC LED will flash quickly instead of switching off. If this happens the

CALIBRATE button should be pressed momentarily to exit the calibration routine. The calibration procedure

should then be repeated.

If the unit continues to fail calibration, factory default settings should be restored by powering down, then

pressing the CALIBRATE button as power is re-applied. The calibration procedure should then be repeated.

N O T E : To exit the calibration routine at any time, the CALIBRATE button should be pressed

momentarily.

1.3. I/O Signals

The ECU interface is designed to be used with industry standard 1 Vpp readheads. Cos, Sin, and reference

mark differential input signals should have nominal signal amplitude of 1 Vpp developed across 120 Ω input

termination resistor.

One or two open collector limit switch signals, active high or active low can also be input.

W A R N I N G : The outer shield should be connected to the earth ground. The inner shield

should be connected to 0V. Care should be taken to ensure that the inner and outer shields are

insulated from each other. If the inner and outer shields are connected together, this will cause a

short between 0V and earth, which could cause electrical noise issues.
