EM2 Product Description
The EM2 is a transmissive optical encoder module designed to measure rotary or linear movement when paired with an encoder disk or linear strip. The EM2 consists of a lensed LED source and a monolithic detector IC enclosed in a small polymer package. The EM2 uses phased array detector technology, allowing for a wider gap tolerance and reliable performance even with some disk contamination.
The EM2 encoder module provides digital A & B quadrature outputs with an index channel. Each EM2 module is resolution-specific and is matched to the resolution of an encoder disk or linear strip. The EM2 module supports 12 different resolutions. The EM2 operates with a single 5V supply and provides single-ended outputs capable of sinking and sourcing 5mA. An internal 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor provides enhanced noise immunity.
For open collector and higher voltage applications, add the PC3 cable driver, or for differential cable driver outputs, add the PC4 cable driver.
Accessories such as encoder disks, linear strips, mating connectors, and cables are also available.
