New options for controlling DC motors
The latest example of an innovative design philosophy applied to the control of DC motors with the emphasis on developing compact, flexible, energy-efficient solutions, has recently been introduced by Rotalink. Its output shaft absolute encoders provide accurate positional information to a resolution of ± 0.35º with a performance which is unaffected by power loss and is self-correcting in the event of electrical interference.
These absolute encoders operate via contactless Hall effect technology which provides either a linear analogue output (0-5V) or reliable 10bit positional data sent via a SSI. However, when the digital option is chosen the benefits are longer life span, higher reliability and improved noise resistance.
