Absolute Encoder1) What is the difference between single-phase rotation and multiple rotation? Single-phase rotation: the encoder rotary axis range of a split, rotary 1 week after the initial data can be displayed, so a total of a few times can not be judged. Multiple rotations are: The number of revolutions of the encoder’s axis is counted, and in the event of a power failure, it also has the function of counting the revolutions of the encoder’s axis.
(2) into the binary output, under what circumstances can read data? Only limited to the absolute encoder, read data in two ways: In the output signal is read when the level of conversion is static and read the data in a certain period of time is the law. From the detection accuracy point of view, the use of static method is more accurate, but if the use of dynamic methods can shorten the read cycle and can reach the same precision with the static method.
(3) multiple rotary absolute encoder, the power failure, the rotation of the data can be added? When the maximum number of revolutions described in the manual is less than the maximum number of revolutions, the data at power failure can be added.
(4) How to reset the data of absolute encoder? Single-phase rotary is unable to reset the data. But can accept annunciator, any data can be set to 0, the effect is the same as reset. Rotary number of times the number of rotary data, you can enter the reset signal to reset. Two-way communication model (our company’s ASE, ASF), etc., but also set the data in advance.
(5) What is the cause of an error when the encoder reads data? Wrong wiring possible. If it is on a regular basis, it may be affected by the noise, it is recommended to read multiple times.

Precautions For Correct Use of Rotary EncodersFirst, the mechanical aspects
(1) Solid shaft: 1.1 Encoder shaft and the user-side output shaft should be flexible between the soft connection to avoid the user’s shaft string, beating, resulting the damage of the encoder shaft and encoder. 1.2 installation should pay attention to the allowable shaft load, must not exceed the limit load. 1.3 Should ensure that the encoder shaft and the user output shaft of different axis <0.20mm, with the axis of the declination <1.5 °. 1.4 Hit and collide are forbidden for installation, in order to avoid the damage of encoder shaft and encoder.
(2) hollow shaft categories: 2.1 To avoid contact with the encoder steel, plate springs should be used. 2.2 Please pay attention to the installation of the shaft load, the encoder should be gently pushed into the sleeve shaft, using cone to hit is strictly prohibited, so as not to damage the shaft and encoder. 2.3 The installation shaft must meet the following requirements: Axial series <0.5mm Radial runout <0.1mm End runout <0.1mm. 2.4 long-term use, please check the plate spring on the encoder is loose; fixed encoder screw is loose.
Second, the electrical aspects
(1) Please do not enclose the output line of encoder and power line or the like in the same pipe, and should not be used in the vicinity of distribution panel.
(2) Shielded cable should be used when wiring.
(3) should be carefully checked before starting, the wiring is correct.
(4) long-distance transmission, signal attenuation factors should be considered, the choice of low output impedance, anti-interference ability of the output.
(5) Be careful not to exceed the limit speed of the encoder. If it exceeds the limit speed, the electrical signal may be lost.
Third, the environment
(1) Because the encoder is a precision instrument, it should be noted that there is no vibration source around.
(2) Encoders that are not leak-proof structures Do not splash water, oil, etc., and attach a protective cover if necessary.
(3) Please pay attention to whether the ambient temperature and humidity are within the requirements of the instrument.

Incremental Rotary Encoder(1) Is there any way to check if the incremental encoder pulse leaks? The pulse from the origin position to the next origin position is counted to check whether the pulse leaks. In addition to the encoder rotation speed, but also the magnitude of the pulse measured to determine whether the pulse leakage.
(2) Incremental Encoder counting error causes what? There are several possibilities for counting errors. First, there is a runaway between the encoder shaft and the drive, resulting in a count error. At this time there will be on a regular basis a large number of count errors. Second, counting errors can occur due to noise and other effects. This is also on a regular basis, but only a small amount of technical errors can be considered as being affected by noises.
(3) Only encoder can determine the location of the origin? Z signal under what circumstances the output If the Incremental encoder has a Z signal, the origin position can be determined In order to match the encoder’s counting position with the origin, follow the A, B, and Z signal theory when determining the origin position. Example: Absolute Encoder can set the origin anywhere

(installation)
‧ There is no special restriction on the installation direction, but try to fix it in the horizontal direction. In addition, when installing many instruments side by side, pay attention to the distance between the left and right sides.
(Connecting & wiring)
‧Connect the power cord to the terminal number on the main label according to the terminal connection diagram or instruction manual. If it is connected to other terminals, it will damage the firearm or catch fire. Please note there is danger.
‧ It is recommended that the wire cross-sectional area of the power cord is 1.25m㎡ or more (AWGI 6 or less).
‧ Connect the detector cable to the terminal number on the main nameplate according to the terminal connection diagram or unwanted instructions. If you connect to other terminals, you can damage the device, be careful because of the risk.
‧The ground terminal can be designed so that the grounding resistance of the ground part is less than 100Ω.
‧When used in an environment where surges or noise surround the power supply, use a surge absorbing element or noise filter and place it near the instrument and wire it.
‧Connecting power cables, input / output cables, detector cables in parallel with high-voltage lines and power lines may result in malfunction or disconnection, so separate them by more than 30 cm and route them as short as possible through the other path. In addition, use a shielded cable or metal conduit as the detector cable, separate from the noise source and the strong wires, and keep the wires as short as possible.
‧When the transmission distance is longer, consider the inductance and capacitance of the cable to be used
(operation)
‧Before operation, be sure to make sure that the connection is secure (loose screws or incorrect connection).
‧Please provide the voltage (SOURCE) within the specifications of the motherboard terminal number. Providing voltage in excess of the specifications may damage the instrument.
In addition, voltage fluctuations should be within specifications. If the volatility is large, it may not work properly.
‧Do not use a power supply with a gradually changing voltage (SOURCE). Voltage immediately rise to the rated power (SOURCE) Please use such a power supply.
‧Do not use the output relay directly drives a large motor. We recommend that you use a medium (large) solenoid switch to relay once. In addition, turning on and off the inductive load If this occurs, back EMF may occur and the instrument may be damaged. Therefore, use it as a back-EMF absorbing element, a diode for a DC circuit, a convex wave absorber, or the like.
‧Use the load current that controls the output contact at rated load. If used above the rated value, the contact life is significantly reduced, if it is the transistor circuit will cause damage to the transistor.
‧Do not apply any voltage error to the control input terminals (signal - COM), which may damage the input circuit.
(other)
‧The maximum frequency of the specification input response is the response frequency at a waveform ratio of 1: 1. Therefore, depending on the waveform ratio, it is possible to respond even within the specification response frequency range. As it may be damaged, use a detector with a good waveform ratio whenever possible.
‧Do not operate outside the instruction manual. In particular, do not do this test if you are testing resistance or withstand voltage, as this may damage the instrument.
‧When wiping the dirt on the instrument, do not use solvents that will thin the resin or paint. Recommend to use alcohol when removing dirt. However, be careful not to infiltrate the inside or the inside of the unit.
‧When operating the internal switch such as frequency division setting, be sure to turn off the power beforehand. In addition, care should be taken to prevent contamination of foreign objects (especially metallic objects).

‧recommended that the power cord for more than 1.25m ㎡ (AWGI 6 or less)。
‧recommend using twisted pair shielded cable with a cross-sectional area of 0.5 m㎡ or more (AWG 20 or less) to connect the detector cable.。
‧The encoder thick line is the ground line,The thick line of the encoder is the grounding line, which needs to be connected to the grounding terminal. Ground part of the resistance, to be less than 100Ω.
‧When used in an environment with power surges or noise,Use a surge absorbing element or noise filter to place it near the instrument and wire it
‧ Connecting power cords, input / output cables, and detector cables in parallel with high-voltage lines and power cords may result in malfunction or malfunction and may therefore be separated by a distance of 30 cm or more with the piping as short as possible.
Meanwhile, use shielded cable or metal conduit as the detector cable, away from the interference source, high-voltage power supply, please shorten the cable as much as possible.
‧When the encoder cable is lengthened, the error due to interference or the like is more likely to be misoperated. Therefore, if the detector cable is extended, it is recommended to use an insulated pulse amplifier in the middle.
(OPERATION)
‧Before starting operation, be sure to make sure that the wiring is secure (loose screws or incorrect connection)
‧Please provide the correct voltage in the range of the instructions on the main nameplate between the terminals. Supply of voltage exceeding the specifications may damage the instrument, in addition voltage fluctuations should be within specifications. If the volatility is large, it may not work properly.
‧Do not use a slowly rising pressurized power supply. Open the power supply voltage should immediately rise to the rated voltage, please use this power supply.
‧If the encoder is powered from the outside, turn on the detector first and then turn on the instrument. After the instrument is powered, the detector needs to be turned on earlier than the instrument’s power source due to an error in the detector’s power when turned on so that it does not turn off during the unit’s operation.
‧When the encoder input is a contact input, use a contact with good contact reliability.
‧Avoid using spring output relays to directly drive large motors. We recommend that you temporarily stop using the medium (large) type of electromagnetic switch. In addition, the inductive load may cause back electromotive force when turned on / off and may damage the instrument. Therefore, as the back electromotive force absorbing element, the diode is used for the direct current circuit, please use a buzzer or the like.
‧Use the load current that controls the output contact at rated load. If the use of higher than the rated value of the contact life significantly shorter life, if the transistor circuit will cause damage to the transistor.
‧Do not add wrong voltage to the control input terminal (signal - COM). Will cause damage to the input circuit.
‧When using the up / down counter, turn off the power of this unit and change the signal line of the detector (for example, S1, S2) when the machine moves in the opposite direction to up / down counting.
(others)
‧When entering an input that is outside the measurement frequency range, a false count is made, so calculate the maximum frequency of the machine and select the detector before use. In addition, since the input may trigger contact (jitter) when the contact is input to the open collector specifications, please check the input specifications to use the distributor.
‧The maximum measurement frequency is 1: 1 waveform ratio. Therefore, depending on the waveform ratio, it is not possible to measure the frequency even in the measurement range. Use a detector with a good waveform ratio whenever possible.
‧Do not use solvents such as thinner, plastic or paint when wiping the surface of polisher or other panel. When removing dirt, do not infiltrate inside or inside the main unit.
‧If there is a possibility of secondary damage due to breakdown in the service station, please provide another protection device and take countermeasures.
