DIGISOLVER
A NEW FRONTIER IN ABSOLUTE ENCODERS

Absolute Digital Encoder
High Resolution in Small Compact Housings

The DigiSolver is available in three configurations:

1. Single-Turn:
          Up to 13-bit Binary, Gray Code, or BCD in Size 25
          (E7N series), Size 40 (E5N series) or
          explosion-proof housing (E8N series).

2. Geared Single-Turn:
          Up to 13-bit Binary, Gray Code, or BCD in Size 40
          (E5N series) or explosion-proof housing (E8N series)
          with a wide-range of internal gear trains.

3. Multi-Turn:
          18-bit Binary over 64 turns; 15-bit BCD or Standard
          Gray over 32 turns; Size 40 (E5N series) or
          explosion­proof housing (E8N series). Internal gear
          train ratios of 64:1 or 32:1.

Single- or Multi-Turn Operation
The DigiSolver is an absolute encoder; that is, it keeps track of the exact shaft position even during power outage or switching-off the machine. At power-up, the DigiSolver's output will indicate the exact shaft position, even if the machine moved during the power outage.

In a single-turn operation, the machine cycle is completed during one complete revolution of the transducer shaft, whereas in a multi-turn operation the transducer shaft needs to make more than one turn for a complete machine cycle.

 

Field-Selectable CW/CCW Operation:
The DigiSolver is factory-wired for ascending counts with CCW shaft rotation. However, the direction of operation can be easily selected in the field by opening-up the case and simply reversing the resolver input plug. No wires need to be unsoldered or soldered.

Also an optional external toggle switch is available for selection of ascending counts direction without opening up the unit.

Ratiometric Resolver-to-Digital Converter
The AVG Automation ratiometric-tracking converter is practi- cally immune to electrical noise, voltage, frequency, and temperature variations, with slew speeds up to 5000 RPM.


BUILT-IN PLC-SYNCHRONIZATION
An optional PLC-synchronization circuit is provided to assure reliable data transfer to PLCs. The edge-triggered device allows data to be updated every scan and a variety of outputs (TTL, PNP, or NPN) permit interface to virtually all existing PLCs.
