Conversion of a Mitsubishi serial encoder to a TTL encoder

The Mitsubishi serial encoder transmits the information of its angular position in a purely serial way, therefore unlike other models (for example EnDAT) there are no sinusoidal signals. The number of wires used is reduced: 4 wires for serial data and 2 wires for power. Serial data is transmitted and received by two pairs of […]

Conversion of a Fanuc Pulsecoder into a TTL encoder

How can we drive an electric motor equipped with a Fanuc Pulsecoder? Let’s go back in time For decades the d.c. tacho-generator was used as a speed transducer for electric motors; all the control equipment had an input for this type of transducer and there were no compatibility problems. Then the resolvers and TTL encoders […]
