When operated in conjunction Package Dimensions Mounting Option #50 - Standard (Baseplane Mounting) Contact Factory for Detailed Package Dimensions ESD WARNING: NORMAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE. 2 with either a codewheel or codestrip, this module detects rotary or linear position. The module consists of a lensed LED source and a detector IC enclosed in a small C-shaped plastic package. Due to a highly collimated light source and a unique photodetector array, the module is extremely tolerant to mounting misalignment. The two channel digital outputs and 5V supply input are accessed through four solder-plated leads located on 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) centers. The standard HEDS-9730 is designed for use with an 11 mm optical radius codewheel, or linear codestrip. Other options are available. Please contact factory for more information. Applications The HEDS-9730 provides sophisticated motion detection at Block Diagram a low cost, making closed-loop control very cost-competitive! Typical applications include printers, plotters, copiers, and office automation equipment. Theory of Operation The HEDS-9730 is a C-shaped emitter/detector module. Coupled with a codewheel, it translates rotary motion into a two-channel digital output. Coupled with a codestrip, it translates linear motion into a digital output. As seen in the block diagram, the module contains a single Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its light source. The light is collimated into a parallel beam by means of a single lens located directly over the LED. Opposite the emitter is the integrated detector circuit. This IC consists of multiple sets of photodetectors and the signal processing circuitry necessary to produce the digital waveforms. The codewheel/codestrip moves between the emitter and detector, causing the light beam to be interrupted by the pattern of spaces and bars on the codewheel/codestrip. The photodiodes which detect these interruptions are arranged in a pattern that corresponds to the radius and count density of the codewheel/codestrip. These detectors are also spaced such that a light period on one pair of detectors corresponds to a dark period on the adjacent pair of detectors. The photodiode outputs are fed through the signal processing circuitry. Two comparators receive these signals and produce the final outputs for channels A and B. Due to this integrated phasing technique, the digital output of channel A is in quadrature with channel B (90 degrees out of phase). 3 Phase (φ): The number of electrical degrees between the center of the high state of channel A and the center of the high state of channel B. This value is nominally 90°e for quadrature output. Output Waveforms Phase Error (∆φ): The deviation of the phase from its ideal value of 90°e. Direction of Rotation: When the codewheel rotates counterclockwise, as viewed looking down on the module (so the marking is visible), channel A will lead channel B. If the codewheel rotates in the opposite direction, channel B will lead channel A. Definitions Count (N) = The number of bar and window pairs or counts per revolution (CPR) of the codewheel, or the number of lines per inch of the codestrip (LPI). 1 Shaft Rotation = 360 mechanical degrees = N cycles 1 cycle (c) = 360 electrical degrees (°e) = 1 bar and window pair Pulse Width (P): The number of electrical degrees that an output is high during one cycle. This value is nominally 180°e or 1/2 cycle. Pulse Width Error (∆P): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of the pulse width from its ideal value of 180°e. State Width (S): The number of electrical degrees between a transition in the output of channel A and the neighboring transition in the output of channel B. There are 4 states per cycle, each nominally 90°e. State Width Error (∆S): The deviation, in electrical degrees, of each state width from its ideal value of 90°e. Optical Radius (Rop): The distance from the codewheel’s center of rotation to the optical center (O.C.) of the encoder module. Angular Misalignment Error (EA ): angular misalignment of the sensor in relation to the tangential direction. This applies for both rotary and linear motion. Mounting Position (RM): Distance from Motor Shaft center of rotation to center of Alignment Tab receiving hole. 4 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol Min. Max.
