US Digital

Vancouver, WA - US Digital is proud to announce the release of our newest encoder accessory, the ETACH2.

The ETACH2 is a high performance analog tachometer that converts incremental encoder signals into a stable analog voltage. The ETACH2 is fast enough to be used in a velocity or servo control loop typically requiring a tachometer generator. The ETACH2 has a wide programmable full scale frequency range and does not suffer from the low speed droop and ripple typically found with traditional analog tachometer generators.

 Incremental quadrature encoder signals are digitally converted to provide either positive or negative voltages; positive output voltages are provided when the signals are rotated in a positive direction, and negative voltages are provided when the direction is reversed. The output can also be selected to provide zero to maximum positive voltage output. A TTL digital direction bit is provided.

 

Additional details and pricing information is available here.
