And you also as a programmer can detect how fast the user is turning the know, so your system can respond correspondingly. You can see rotary encoders are being used in a variety of test equipment and consumer electronics.
For example, the knobs in a typical DSO like mine in the picture are encoders and one of them can sense the speed of me turning it so that the cursor on the screen accelerates in response. There exist different types of encoders like absolute and incremental types. An absolute Encoder maintains position information when power is removed from the encoder. The position of the encoder is available immediately on applying power.
The relationship between the encoder value and the physical position of the controlled machinery is set at assembly. An incremental Encoder will immediately report changes in position, which is an essential capability in some applications. However, it does not report or keeps track of the absolute position. As a result, the mechanical system monitored by an incremental encoder may have to be moved to a fixed reference point to initialize absolute position measurements. Each channel provides a specific number of equally spaced pulses per revolution PPR and the direction of motion is detected by the phase relationship of one channel leading or trailing the other channel.
Counting both leading and trailing edges of both channels A and B channels of a quadrature encoder will quadruple x4 the number of pulses per revolution. The hardware of the STM32 timer in encoder mode provides a complete hardware solution for detecting signals and deciding the direction of counting up or down which significantly ease the process of firmware development for interfacing this kind of sensors.
The two inputs TI1 and TI2 are used to interface to an incremental encoder. The sequence of transitions of the two inputs is evaluated and generates count pulses as well as the direction signal.
Encoder interface mode acts simply as an external clock with direction selection. The block uses the current encoder counter value and encoder counter value at the previous index pulse to calculate the angular position of the quadrature encoder and the rotor in either degrees, radians, or per-unit.
When you clear the External index count parameter, the Idx pulse resets Cnt to zero, therefore:. P o s i t i o n c o u n t is the angular position of the quadrature encoder in counts.
C o u n t s p e r r e v o l u t i o n is the number of counts in one rotation cycle of the quadrature encoder. Value that the quadrature encoder counter generates with respect to the slit-position. The port only accepts a scalar unsigned integer based on the Counter size parameter. For example, if you select 8 bits for Counter size , the input data type must be uint8.
Data Types: uint8 uint16 uint Value that the quadrature encoder counter generated with respect to the slit-position at the time of the last index pulse. To enable this port, select the External index count parameter. The input data types for both Cnt and Idx must be identical. Angular position that the block computes based on the Cnt and Idx inputs. Data Types: single double fixed point. The number of counts that the quadrature encoder generates for every slit. A count indicates a slit position.
For example, select 4 if you want the encoder to generate four counts corresponding to 00, 10, 11, and 01 slit positions or values. The block enables the Idx input port only if you select this parameter. So, there is a Z channel that displays the start zero position. Depending on whether the light hits a transparent mark or an opaque surface, the receiver captures or does not capture the signal.
This can be graphically represented as two diagrams with a rectangular form also called square waves. Rotary quadrature encoder is digital IC integrated circuit so it uses a binary code. Square waves show digital signals at a high 1 and a low 0 state. Binary code is needed to transfer data through interfaces USB for example and protocols to control systems.
We have already described the main types of data transfer here: Parallel vs Serial interface. The picture shows a diagram with the operation of the encoder with 5V power supply.
As you can see the lines are shown a low 0V grounding and high 5V status. The number of pulses per one full disk revolution depends on the number of marks on its surface. This principle is a basic definition of encoder resolution. Thus, two output signals characterize the number of pulses for a certain time.
Using these values, a control system can determine the angular velocity, distance and acceleration. Let's explain the basic concepts in the diagram. First, we have the concept of a cycle, which consists of electrical degrees marked C. The letter P is denoted by the pulse width. This is the number of electric degrees when the pulse reaches its highest point during one cycle.
Finally, the phase in our case is the difference between the centers of the pulse widths of both lines. Sometimes you may meet graphs with channels U, V, W.
These integrated switching signals simulate hall sensors. Such feature is common for quadrature encoders that are used in feedback of brushless DC motors. Nevertheless, the wheel can rotate in both directions. How to determine what is spinning now?
