Publication 4100-UM052B-EN-P - October 2001
8 Overview
AEC Features The AEC has the following features:
•
Two fully independent axes capable of absolute to incremental
quadrature conversion.
•
Each channel can support independent absolute transducer
input.
•
User selectable resolution.
•
Fixed transducer acquisition speed of 400 kHz.
•
Each axis provides one differential quadrature output.
•
Fixed quadrature output frequency of 800 kHz.
•
Independent +5 V DC, + 15 V DC, and +24 V DC transducer
voltages.
•
Selectable for incremental strobes or internal 1ms timebase.
•
Interfaces directly to Allen-Bradley 1394 GMC System and S
Class Compact motion controllers.
•
Normally open and normally closed status outputs for each axis.
•
Bicolor LED status indication for each axis.
•
An on-board reset switch that resets both axes.
•
Absolute Home request remotely clears corrected faults and
resets system on a per axis basis.
•
Single 18-36 V DC input voltage power requirement.
•
A rugged steel case for greater protection. The case has
pre-drilled mounting tabs.
