For
accurate position or rate from quadrature encoders
Position,
Length or Angle Measurement
The Laureate™
quadrature meter with the Standard counter main board
accepts the A & B signals from shaft encoders to provide a
highly accurate, scaled display of position, length, or
angle in engineering units, such as ft, cm or degrees.
The A & B
quadrature signals are 90º out of phase, and their phase
relationship determines whether up counts (+) or down counts
(-) are produced. The meter totalizes the counts and then
scales the total in soft-ware for display and control. A
zero index signal may be added as a third input to the A & B
signals.
Scaled Rate
Measurement
Use of the Extended counter main board can convert the
quadrature meter from scaled position to scaled rate. For
example, it can display the speed of a moving slab in
ft/sec. Simultaneous display of position and rate will
require two meters.
The display and
control output update rate for position or rate is normally
set to a maximum of 25/s, as determined by a
user-programmable gate time.
