The alternative in motion control
TTL Encoder transducer
In the world of industrial automation, closed proprietary protocols are the biggest obstacle to retrofitting. The 13/013 transducer converter solves a problem for which there are virtually no alternatives on the market: it reads the signal of proprietary Fanuc or Mitsubishi serial encoders — often built into high-performance motors that are difficult to replace without...
The 13/012 converter is Alter Elettronica’s technical solution for interfacing rotary absolute encoders operating with the EnDat 2.1 and 2.2 protocol (a standard typically found in Heidenhain systems) with standard commercial servo drives. On machine tools and in machining centres, EnDat is the benchmark standard for precision. However, it often restricts the choice of replacement...
The 13/009 converter module has been specifically developed for industrial applications in which brushless motors are fitted with a resolver. Known for its extreme robustness in harsh environments (high temperatures, vibrations), the resolver nevertheless generates an analogue signal (sine/cosine) that many new-generation drives do not natively support. This board processes the resolver’s analogue signal and...Continue reading
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...
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...Continue reading
