Elec­tron­ic units

ROTEC elec­tron­ics guar­an­tee reli­able and accu­rate ampli­fi­ca­tion and pro­cess­ing of all sig­nals and mea­sured vari­ables. The sen­sor sig­nals are con­vert­ed into a TTL sig­nal as an input into the speed board.

Dif­fer­en­tial sen­sor adapter (DSA)

The Dif­fer­en­tial Sen­sor Adapter (DSA) con­verts the sinu­soidal sig­nal of the ROTEC mag­net­ic sen­sors into a pulse sequence with TTL lev­el which is processed by the speed board of the ROTEC mea­sur­ing sys­tem. At the scope out­put of the elec­tron­ics, both the ana­log sen­sor sig­nal and the dig­i­tal pulse train can be tapped sep­a­rate­ly. The trig­ger point, i.e. the trig­ger­ing of the dig­i­tal pulse, is adjustable. The pow­er sup­ply for the elec­tron­ics is pro­vid­ed by the speed board while the elec­tron­ics in turn sup­plies the mag­net­ic sen­sor with pow­er.

Rotary encoder adapter

The Rotary Encoder Adapter is an adap­ta­tion elec­tron­ics for rotary encoder sig­nals and incre­men­tal lin­ear scales with TTL or with SIN/COS lev­el. The elec­tron­ics gen­er­ates a dig­i­tal pulse train from the sig­nals of the sen­sor, also with TTL lev­el, which rep­re­sents the actu­al mea­sur­ing sig­nal for the speed board of the ROTEC mea­sur­ing sys­tem. The Rotary Encoder Adapter is able to detect the sig­nals of the encoder both for­ward and back­ward and to derive direc­tion infor­ma­tion from them. The sig­nals for the speed, the direc­tion of rota­tion and the ref­er­ence pulse (if avail­able) are acquired and processed by the speed mea­sure­ment board. The ref­er­ence pulse can also be tapped from a sep­a­rate sock­et so that it can be used as a start trig­ger for the mea­sure­ments. The pow­er sup­ply for the elec­tron­ics is pro­vid­ed by the speed board while the elec­tron­ics in turn sup­plies the sen­sor with pow­er.

Rota­tion­al direc­tion adapter

The ROTEC 4‑fold sen­sor elec­tron­ics is used in con­junc­tion with the ROTEC 4 fold speed sen­sors for mea­sur­ing speeds with addi­tion­al direc­tion detec­tion. The elec­tron­ics con­verts the ana­log sinu­soidal sig­nal gen­er­at­ed by the sen­sor into a dig­i­tal pulse train with TTL lev­el, which rep­re­sents the actu­al mea­sure­ment sig­nal. Togeth­er with the ana­log cosine sig­nal gen­er­at­ed by the sen­sor, addi­tion­al direc­tion infor­ma­tion is derived. The mea­sur­ing sig­nals and direc­tion infor­ma­tion are acquired and processed by the speed board of the ROTEC mea­sur­ing sys­tem. The elec­tron­ics has a scope out­put via which the ana­log sen­sor sig­nal and the dig­i­tal TTL pulse train are trans­mit­ted. The pow­er sup­ply for the elec­tron­ics is pro­vid­ed by the speed board while the elec­tron­ics in turn sup­plies the sen­sor with pow­er.

Laser Tachome­ter

The ROTEC Laser Tachome­ter is used for opti­cal mea­sure­ment of the rota­tion­al fre­quen­cy or rota­tion­al speed of rotat­ing machine parts. The elec­tron­ics gen­er­ates a pow­er-con­trolled laser light which is trans­mit­ted via the con­nect­ed ROTEC laser sen­sor and is direct­ed onto a ret­i­cle or ret­i­cle tape attached to the mea­sur­ing object. The wave­length of the laser is in the vis­i­ble range, so that the posi­tion of the mea­sur­ing spot appears as a red dot on the tar­get. The light-dark tran­si­tions of the tar­get are scanned using the reflex method and the received opti­cal sig­nal is first con­vert­ed into an ana­log-sig­nal and then into a dig­i­tal sig­nal. The result­ing pulse sequence with TTL lev­el and speed-pro­por­tion­al fre­quen­cy is detect­ed ans processed by the speed board of the ROTEC mea­sur­ing sys­tem. The pow­er sup­ply for the elec­tron­ics is pro­vid­ed by the speed board.

Phase Shifter

The ROTEC Phase Shifter is used in con­juc­tion with the ROTEC adap­tion elec­tron­ics Rotary Encoder Adapter, Inline DGDAP TTL and Inline DGDAP HTL. The Phase Shifter delays the ref­er­ence sig­nal out­put by the adap­tion elec­tron­ics by an adjustable num­ber with respect to the speed puls­es out­put on the sen­sor line. The speed puls­es them­selves as well as the bit for direc­tion detec­tion remain unchanged and are looped through from the input of the Phase Shifter to the out­put. Only the orig­i­nal ref­er­ence mark is removed and replaced by a syn­thet­i­cal­ly gen­er­at­ed mark. This syn­thet­ic ref­er­ence pulse can be tapped at a sep­a­rete “Ref.” sock­et and used as a start trig­ger for the mea­sure­ments. The pow­er sup­ply for the elec­tron­ics is pro­vid­ed by the speed board.

Inline TTL Dig­i­tiz­er

The Inline TTL Dig­i­tiz­er con­verts the sinu­soidal sig­nal of the ROTEC mag­net­ic sen­sors into a pulse sequence of puls­es with TTL lev­el which is processed by the speed board of the ROTEC mea­sur­ing sys­tem. The elec­tron­ics is much more com­pact than the Dif­fer­en­tial Sen­sor Adapter (DSA) and is there­fore par­tic­u­lar­ly well suit­ed for mobile appli­ca­tions. The pow­er sup­ply for the elec­tron­ics is pro­vid­ed by the speed board while the elec­tron­ics in turn sup­plies the mag­net­ic sen­sor with pow­er.

Inline DGDAP TTL

The Inline DGDAP TTL is a mobile ver­sion of our incre­men­tal encoder adapter. Its com­pact design makes it par­tic­u­lar­ly suit­able for use in vehi­cles or on motor­cy­cles. Puls­es can be mea­sured in for­ward and reverse direc­tion. The pulse fol­low­ing the ref­er­ence mark (once per rev­o­lu­tion) is always avail­able. The Inline encoder adapter (DGADP) is also pro­tect­ed against reverse polar­i­ty.
