Signal conditioner for position sensor
<10 MHz, A-B-Z signals | Terminator line Cognito Quam

The Terminator multimode encoder signal filters complement, safeguard, maintain and extend the encoder (or pulse generator) capabilities and performance by removing all types of electrical noise (common and differential mode, dV/dt transients, ground loop generated etc.) in the encoder signal lines as well as the corrupting effects of mechanical noise and vibration (phantom movement, dither etc.). They reconstruct the encoder signals to reflect the correct encoder position and speed signaling. Performance is safeguarded and problems such as:

* Motion system position drift,
* Home reference loss,
* False triggering of the receiving inputs, and
* Receiving input saturation, latch-up or failure

are eliminated.

The Terminator line of multimode filters are standard, all-in-one, comprehensive products, each device addressing all and any combination of known encoder application issues. The filters process digital quadrature encoder signals with the following features:

* Dual voltage 115/230 VAC twin isolated supply,
* Galvanically isolated input and output stages,
* Four selectable modes of digital processing,
* Test mode to simulate the function of a 1024 ppr encoder,
* Supply, signal and worn/faulty encoder indication,
* DIP switch selectable options,
* Selectable sampling frequency,
* Three types of EIA(RS)422 input termination,
* Cast aluminum enclosure of IP65 protection and high noise immunity, and
* Readily recyclable and made with lead-free materials.

Model options are characterized by input/output type and speed capability.
