39 Bits Battery Backup Multi-Turn Absolute Encoder with RS-485 Half-Duplex Output

Data Sheet

AS37-H39B series encoder is a high-resolution optical absolute encoder produced by Avago Technologies, which offers 23-bits single-turn and 16-bits multi-turn counts, hence a combined 39 bits high resolution. The AS37- H39B series encoder is a house encoder consisting of a patterned disk, a light source, and photosensitive elements to translate the mechanical motion into electrical signal. The Kxxx option of encoders is preloaded with the Avago developed protocol with RS-485 standard compliance with provided CRC and alarm status bits. The RS-485 half-duplex protocol is supported by a half-duplex line transmissions drive RS-485 , offering good noise immunity for more robust transmission of data at Mbps in harsh industrial application.

The key advantage of AS37-H39B series is multi-turn tracking that employs battery backup technologies. It is the gearless multi-turn counting that eliminates the gear worn out or acoustics noise issue that is encountered in conventional geared multi-turn encoders. Because the product is intended for industrial application, ESD protection circuitry has been designed by achieving the following ESD compliance IEC-61000-4-2 class

Operating Theory

Structure-wise, the encoder contains two main functional blocks the single-turn optical engine block and the battery backup multi-turn counter block. The single-turn engine comprises the Avago developed high-performance optical detector ASIC, which is accompanied by high-precision amplifier circuitry, coupled with a special multi-track code disk that rotates between the LED emitter and detector IC.

On multi-turn side, the multi-turn counting is enabled utilizing battery backup counter technology. During battery mode encoder operates in main power OFF state , the battery backup circuitry periodically powers up the LED emitter, enabling the photo sensor to scan the code disk multi-turn tracks for detection of shaft rotation. In order to prolong the
battery life, extra effort has been put into the design of the ASIC to ensure minimum current consumption during battery mode operation. Therefore, no miscounts occur even in the absence of external power supply.
