DIGISOLVER
A NEW FRONTIER IN ABSOLUTE ENCODERS

 

Versatile
Choice of Mounting Styles and Enclosures 
To match almost any application, the DigiSolver is available in various mounting styles and housings. The housing Size 25 and 40 are standard for single-turn units, whereas the multi­turn units are available only in a Size 40 housing.

Size 25-2.5" (63.5 mm) dia., NEMA 13 housing is designed for medium-duty applications and is available for flange or servo mount with an MS-connector located at the end or on the side.

The Size 40-4.0" (101.6 mm) dia., NEMA 13 housing with internal helical coupling and double bearing is designed for heavy duty applications and is available for face mount with end-mounted MS-connector or conduit fitting.

Explosion-proof-FM approved, Division 1, Class 1, Groups B, C, and D units comes in Size 40-4.0" (101.6 mm) dia. housings for both single-turn and multi-turn models.

Variety of Outputs
The DigiSolver is available with Binary, Gray Code, BCD, or Analog absolute position output formats. A further flexibility to interface to other devices is provided by TTL (5 V logic), PNP (sourcing) transistor (50 VDC @ 100 mA) or NPN (sinking) transistor (50 VDC @ 100 niA)-types of outputs. The analog position or tach output can be 0-10 VDC or 4-20 mA signal.

Velocity, Direction, Count, and Reference Outputs In addition to the above described position outputs, optional analog velocity (0- 10 VDC or 4-20 mA), direction, count, and reference marker outputs are also available. This is especially useful in servo control systems, where position and velocity feedback is required. In such cases the DigiSolver can replace both the position transducer and the tachometer.

5 VDC or 8-30 VDC Voltage Range
The standard models are available, which can operate with either a 5 VDC or 8-30 VDC power supply. This wide-voltage range provides an increased flexibility in using the DigiSolver in control systems of different voltage levels without requiring an extra power supply. An existing power supply can be used to power the DigiSolver, that is, if a PLC operates at 24 VDC, an 8-30 VDC DigiSolver model can be connected to the same power supply, cutting system costs.

Flexible Programming of Counts-per-Turn
The advanced R-to-D converter used in the DigiSolver has made it possible to order any number of scaled BCD counts­per-revolution. The BCD output with counts-per-turn of 360, 1000, and 3600 is standard. However, the unit can be delivered with custom-scaled counts if so desired.

Consult the factory for special configurations or higher resolution.

Multiplexing Capability
The TTL-type output of the DigiSolver is provided with tristate capability and can be wired logic-OR. This allows more than one unit to be connected to the same input of a PLC.

SHORT-CIRCUIT- PROOF OUTPUTS
Very often electricians try to make or change connections under power and that is when various electrical devices are damaged by shorting. The DigiSolver is available with short­circuit-proof PNP (sourcing) transistor outputs. An accidental short on the DigiSolver's output will not damage the unit. When short-circuit-proof outputs are ordered, field-selectable direction-of-rotation for ascending counts is also provided.
