Problem description - speed variations

As digital frequency, rectangular encoder signals are processed. The speed can be determined by

counting edges and a defined time interval (1 ms). This defined time interval of 1 ms and a finite

number of encoder increments per revolution cause the calculated speed signal to only accept

discrete values. This gives the impression of a very disturbed and incorrect signal. This effect

increases with a lower number of increments.
Example: An encoder with 2048 increments at a speed of 60 rpm is to be simulated via the digital

frequency output.

• Setpoint speed nOut_v = 60 rpm = 1 Hz

mech.

• Simulated encoder: 2048 increments

(by 4-fold evaluation, 4 * 2048 = 8192 edges are counted per revolution)

• Output frequency = nOut_v * number of increments (

C00030/1

) = 1 Hz

mech.

* 2048 = 2048 Hz

At a measurement time of 1 ms, 8,192 edges per ms are achieved. As only integer counting

processes can occur, sometimes 8 and sometimes 9 increments are counted. Hence, the speed is

calculated as follows:

The perceived speed variation amounts to:
