2.2.1. Sensor Synchronization
2.2.1.1. Encoder specification
Two phase type
The encoder must be of two phase type for quadrature pulses, to enable registration of reverse
sensor motion, and to avoid false counts due to vibration etc. when the sensor is not moving.
Technical data
Example encoder
An example of an encoder that fills these criteria, is the Lenord & Bauer GEL 262.
Output signal: Open collector PNP output
Voltage: 10 - 30 V (normally supplied by 24 VDC from encoder interface unit)
Current: 50 - 100 mA
Phase: 2 phase with 90 degree phase shift
Duty cycle: 50%
Max. frequency: 20 kHz
