Mechanical design types - linear scales
General information
Linear encoders from AMO are amongst

others designed for use in applications
with harsh environmental conditions. All
modular linear encoders are free from wear
because of the non-contact scanning.
The mechanical design of absolute and in-
cremental scales is quite similar.
The absolute position information on an ab-

solute grating is formed with an serial ab-
solute code track and a separate incremen-
tal track.
An incremental scale contain an incremen-

tal track and an additional track with single
or distance coded reference marks.

Interfaces
Position values
The EnDat-Interface is a digital, Order code Instruction set Incremental signals

bi-directional Interface for measuring sys-
tems. With this interface you can reat out EnDat2.2 EnDat 2.2 Without
position values and in the measuring sys-
tem saved informations. This value can also
be updated or new values can be saved.
Due to the serial dada transfer four sig-
nal wires are enought. The data DATA gets
transferred synchroniously to the form
the subsequent electronics given clock fre-
quency CLOCK. The selection from the
mode of transmission (position values, pa-
rameter, diagnostics,...) is done with mode-
commands which are sent from the subse-
quent electronics to the measuring
system.
The clock frequency is variable - depending

on the cable lenght (max. 100m). With pro-
pagation electronics, either clock frequenci-
es up to 16MHz are possible or cable
lenght up to 100m. For EnDat encoders the
Cable length [m]
maximum clock frequency is sored in the

encoder memory. Propagation-delay com-
pensation is provided for EnDat22.
Transmission frequencies up to 16MHz in

combination with large cable lenght place
hight technological demands in the cable.
Greater cable lenghts can be realized with
an adapter cable no longer than 6m and an
extension cable. As a rule, the entire trans-
mission path must be designed for the re-
spective clock frequency.
