Product Description

The EDAC2 converts the A and B quadrature output of an incremental encoder into a voltage that is proportional to the encoder position. The output from the encoder causes an internal 12-bit counter to count up or down. The output of the counter is fed into a 12-bit DAC that converts the 12-bit position count value to an analog voltage.

Eight DIP switches are provided to select various options. The user can choose unipolar output mode with 0 to 4.095V or 0 to 10V output, bipolar output mode with ±4.095V or ±10V output, 1X or 4X counting, reset on index, reverse rotation, midrange reset and range limit counting. Full scale output in 10V mode is actually 9.962V.

The EDAC2 has an internal counter that may be reset in one of three ways: by pressing the reset button, power cycling the unit or enabling the reset on encoder index. The reset may be configured to either mid-range or zero volts.

The EDAC2 also provides a TTL logic level output bit, which changes state to indicate the polarity of the analog voltage output.

Power for the EDAC2 is provided by an external power supply which also provides +5VDC to an external encoder through the encoder input connector. A three position screw terminal block provides the analog output connections and logic level direction bit output.
