1.1 System overview

Fig. 2: System overview, SEW drive electronics and encoder systems
Electronically controlled drive systems require actual value sensing and speed feedback; drives
with synchronous motors also require the angle of the rotor position. As a systems supplier, SEW
offers a comprehensive range of encoder systems.
Various mounting devices are available to connect non-SEW encoders to SEW motors.
Proximity sensors represent an inexpensive and easy-to-fit solution, if all that is required is the
information about whether or not the drive is turning and in which direction.
2 Technical Data
2.1 Technical description
This chapter explains the various types of signals, signal tracks and signal levels. The signal tracks
are represented in the form of timing diagrams.
Encoders have a sturdy light metal housing and generously sized precision ball bearings. Their
solid metal housing protects the encoders against interference, which lends them a high degree of
electromagnetic compatibility.
Signal tracks:
SEW encoders are encoders with two tracks and one zero pulse track, which results in six tracks
due to negation. Two light barriers are arranged at right angles to one another in the encoder. They
supply two pulse sequences on tracks A (K1) and B (K2). Track A (K1) is 90 ahead of B (K2) when
the encoder is turning clockwise (to the right as viewed looking onto the motor shaft, the A side).
This phase relationship is used for determining the direction of rotation of the motor. The zero
pulse (one pulse per revolution) is sensed by a third light barrier and made available on track C
(K0) as a reference signal. With TTL encoders, tracks A (K1), B (K2) and C (K0) are negated in the
encoder and made available on tracks A (K1), B (K2) and C (K0) as negated signals.

Fig. 3: TTL signals with zero track and negated signals
HTL signals with zero track, but without negated signals
Signal levels:
TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) version
The signal levels are Vlow 0.5 V and Vhigh 2.5 V. The TTL signals are transmitted symmetri-
cally and evaluated differentially. This design makes them resistant to asymmetrical interference
and ensures good EMC behavior. The signal is transmitted in accordance with the RS-422 inter-
face standard.
Units with a 5 VDC encoder supply voltage, e.g. MOVITRAC 31C, allow the user to measure the
actual supply voltage at the encoder via sensor leads. The supply voltage is corrected to 5 VDC
and compensates for the voltage drop along the supply cable to the encoder. Encoders with
24 VDC supply voltage do not require any supply voltage compensation and, thus, no sensor leads.
The maximum permissible distance between encoder and inverter is limited by the maximum
pulse frequency of the encoder signals. SEW permits a maximum distance between encoder and
inverter of 330 ft. (100 m).

Signal tracks:
SEW sinusoidal encoders are also dual-track encoders with a zero pulse and negated signals,
resulting in six tracks. The 90 offset sine signals are on track A (K1) and B (K2). One sine half-
wave per revolution is provided at track C (K0) as the zero pulse. Tracks A (K1), B (K2) and C (K0)
are negated in the encoder and made available on tracks A (K1), B (K2) and C (K0) as negated sig-
nals.

Fig. 6: sin/cos signal s with zero track and negated tracks
Signal levels:
The sine/cosine signals are superimposed on a DC voltage of 2.5 V. They have a peak-to-peak
voltage of VSS = 1 V. This arrangement avoids voltage zero during signal transmission. The sine/
cosine signals are transmitted symmetrically and evaluated differentially. This design makes them
resistant to asymmetrical interference and ensures good EMC behavior. The signal is transmitted
in accordance with the RS-422 interface standard. The supply voltage is 24 VDC .
Sine encoders do not require any supply voltage compensation and, thus, no sensor leads.
The maximum permissible distance between encoder and inverter is limited by the maximum
pulse frequency of the encoder signals. SEW permits a maximum distance between encoder and
inverter of 330 ft. (100 m).

Fig. 7: Code disc with Gray Code
Multi-turn:
In addition to the code disc for sensing the angle position, multi-turn absolute encoders have addi-
tional code discs for absolute sensing of the number of revolutions. These code discs are only sep-
arated from each other by one gear unit stage with the reduction i = 16. With three additonal code
discs (number usually installed), 16 x 16 x 16 = 4096 revolutions can be resolved absolutely.

Fig. 8: Arrangement of code discs
A single-turn absolute encoder with 12 bit resolution requires 12 pulses to display the 4096 mea-
suring steps per revolution. A multi-turn absolute encoder with three additional code discs
requires 12 additional pulses to display the 4096 distinguishable revolutions.

Signal outputs:
Every scanned code pattern is a parallel data package and is read by a parallel/serial converter. The
inverter must request the position value with a defined pulse sequence in order to transmit a posi-
tion value from the encoder to the inverter. The pulse sequence starts by converting the current
parallel data package and transmitting it to the inverter. The input of the parallel/serial converter is
inhibited by the monoflop for the duration of the pulse sequence.

In addition to the absolute angle position, the SEW absolute encoders generate the incremental
encoder signals A (K1), A (K1), B (K2)und B (K2) and make them available as 1 VSS sine signals.

2.1.4 Resolver
The resolver determines the absolute position of the motor shaft. It consists of a rotor coil and two
stator windings offset by 90 in relation to each other. It operates according to the principle of the
rotary transformer. Furthermore, the resolver has one auxiliary winding each in the stator and on
the rotor in order to transfer the supply voltage to the rotor without brushes. Both rotor windings
are electrically connected.

Signal outputs:
Voltages of varying magnitudes are induced in the stator windings depending on the rotor position.
Voltages V1 and V2 on the two stator windings are modulated by the supply voltage through induc-
tion. They possess sinusoidal envelopes. The two envelopes are electrically offset by 90 from one
another and are evaluated in the inverter for zero passage and amplitude. This enables the rotor
position, speed and direction of rotation to be established.

mines the number of pulses per revolution.
