DS Encoders Introduction Designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding applications The DS series of Electric EncodersTM are a line of encoders designed for harsh environment applications. These encoders are based on capacitive technology which have been developed and improved for over 20 years by Netzer Precision Position Sensors. The DS encoders are characterized by the following features that sets them apart from other similar encoders: Low profile Hollow shaft (Stator / Rotor) No bearings or other contact elements High resolution and excellent precision Immunity to magnetic fields High tolerance to shock, moisture, EMI, RFI Very low weight Holistic signal generation and sensing Digital interfaces for absolute position The holistic structure of the DS Electric EncoderTM makes it unique. Its output reading is the averaged outcome of the entire circumference area of the sensor. This inherent design characteristic provides the DS encoder with outstanding precision and accuracy. The absence of components such as ball bearings, flexible couplers, glass discs, light sources & detectors, along with very low power consumption, enables the DS encoders to deliver virtually failure-free performance. 4 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE 2.

Electric Encoder Software Installation The Electric Encoder Explorer (EEE) software: Verifies correct mounting for an adequate signal amplitude Calibration of offsets General set up and signal analysis This section describes the steps associated with installing the EEE software application. 9.1 Minimum requirements Operating system: MS windows 7/ 10, (32 / 64 bit) Memory: 4MB minimum Communication ports: USB 2 Windows .NET Framework, V4 minimum 9.2 Installing the software Run the Electric EncoderTM Explorer file found on Netzer website: Encoder Explorer Software Tools After the installation you will see Electric Encoder Explorer software icon on the computer desktop. Click on the Electric Encoder Explorer software icon to start. 10. Mechanical Mounting 10.1 Encoder mounting 2 1 a b c The encoder rotor (2) is attached to the host shaft by pressing it against a dedicated shoulder (b), while using screw and a washer, or a circular spring and a washer, at the top of the rotor shoulder to maintain downward pressure. Recommended force of 0.3 Nm with M2 screw. The encoder stator (1) is centered by circumferential step (a) and is mounted to the host stator (c) by using three M2 screws, recommended force of 0.3 Nm. Netzer Precision Position Sensors DS-130-PG-V01 13 Stator / rotor relative position The rotor is floating, therefore, for proper relative axial position of both housing (1) and rotor (2), bottom shaft and host-stator shoulders (b and a) should be coplanar with tolerance 1.6-0.10mm towards down for the shaft. b a H 1.6mm - 0.10 In an optimal mounting, the signal amplitude values generated by the encoder, would be in the middle of the range of the signal plot shown in the Encoder Explorer software (see plot below). This may vary according to the encoder type. The DS-130 amplitudes compensation If as part of the signal validation process (section 12.2) the signal amplitudes are not optimal, it is possible to improve/correct the mounting, by using 50 um shims below the rotor (available as DS-130-R-00 kit). Each will increase the amplitude level by ~ 50mV. Verify that the rotor mounting provides a good signal amplitude, by using the "Signal analyzer" or "Signal verification process", of the Encoder Explorer tool, as part of the procedure the described in section 12. 14 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE 11. Electrical Connection This chapter reviews the steps required to electrically connect the encoder with digital interface (SSi or BiSS-C).

The cable shield electrically floating (unconnected) by default. 2. Make sure the chassis is grounded. 3. It's highly recommended to keep the motor PWM wires electrically shielded and/or kept away from the encoder. Note: 4.75 to 5.25 VDC power supply required 18 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE 12. Signal Verification 12.1 Starting the Encoder Explorer Make sure to complete the following tasks successfully: Mechanical Mounting Electrical Connection to the encoder Encoder Explore Software Installation Run the Encoder Explorer tool (EE) Ensure proper communication with the encoder: (Setup mode by default). The Encoder position-dial is colored blue when in Setup Mode, either through the NanoMic or the BlueBox (a). Note that the operational mode is not available through the BlueBox (b). The Signal amplitude bar indicates whether the signal is within the acceptable tolerance (c) . Note that prior to performing the Signal Verification process the bar could indicate an out of tolerance signal (d). Encoder data is displayed in the encoder data area (CAT No., Serial No.) (e). The position dial display responds to shaft rotation (f ). a f b e c d It is important to perform the Signal Verification process prior to the calibration of the encoder to ensure optimal performance. Netzer Precision Position Sensors DS-130-PG-V01 19 12.2 Signal verification process The Signal Verification process ensures that the encoder is mounted correctly and provides good signal amplitudes. This is performed by collecting raw data of the fine and coarse channels during rotation. Select <Signal Verification> on the main screen (a). a Select <Start> to initiate the process (b). b Rotate the shaft in order to collect the fine and coarse channels data (c). c 20 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE If the process is successful, the status "Signal verification successful" would appear (d). The `amplitude circle' would be centered between the two green circles, preferably in the middle of the tolerance (e). d e Note however, that mounting the encoder towards the extreme mechanical tolerances might cause the amplitude circle to be offset from the exact middle of the nominal position. If the signal is out of tolerance the Error notification "Amplitude is lower/higher than the min/max limit of XXX" would appear (g). In Addition, the status "Signal verification failed perform calibration amplitude" would appear at the top (h). h g Stop the process and re-mount the encoder, making sure that the mechanical installation tolerances are not exceeded, removing or adding shims as required. Repeat the Signal Verification process after the remount. Once the signal verification process is successfully completed, proceed to the encoder calibration phase, Section 13 Netzer Precision Position Sensors DS-130-PG-V01 21 13. Calibration It is important that upon every installation of the encoder, the Signal Verification process is completed prior to attempting calibration of the encoder. For encoders with FW 4 version 4.1.3 or higher, it is possible to select either a fully automated calibration process, or a manual phase-by-phase calibration process. 13.1 Auto-calibration Auto Calibration is supported by encoders with FW 4 version 4.1.3 or higher. For these encoders an additional "Auto-calibration" button is displayed. 13.1.1 Auto-calibration process The Auto-calibration process consists of three stages: 1. Jitter test - evaluates the electric noise for the Fine, Medium, and Coarse encoder channels. During the jitter test, the shaft must be stationary. Attention! The Pass/Fail criteria of the Jitter test is according to very strict factory criteria and failing it would abort the Auto Calibration process. However, the manual Jitter test as part of the Manual Calibration process in section 13.4, would enable the user to decide whether the jitter is acceptable to its needs. 2. Offset calibration - performs the offset calibration, the shaft must rotate continuously. 3. Absolute Position (AP) calibration - performs Coarse Amplitude Alignment (CAA) and Medium Amplitude Alignment (MAA) are calculated. During Auto-Calibration process the encoder's Zero-Position remain in the factory default zero position for new encoders. It is possible to set the Zero Point through the top menu bar, by selecting "Calibration" tab, and clicking "Set UZP" as defined in section 13.3. 22 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE 13.1.2 Performing Auto-calibration Press the <Auto-calibration> button. The main auto-calibration window opens. Select the appropriate measurement range applicable to your application (a). a Make sure to keep the shaft still and press the <Start> The Noise test would be performed and upon successful completion the "Noise test"label will be marked with a green check mark. The Offset calibration would automatically start upon completion of the Noise test. This calibration requires that the shaft be rotated continuously. The AP calibration would automatically start upon completion of the Accuracy Calibration. Continue rotating the shaft in this phase until the AP calibration is completed, and the encoder is reset. Once the reset is over, the Auto-calibration process is successfully finished. c b The user can review the calibration results by clicking the <View data> button (b). Netzer Precision Position Sensors DS-130-PG-V01 23 It is always possible to abort the Auto Calibration process by clicking the <Abort> button (c). 13.1.3 Auto-calibration failures If a test fails (for example the Noise test) the result will be marked with in red X. If the calibration process failed, corrective recommendations will be displayed, corresponding to the element which had failed the test. 24 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE d It is possible to review detailed information regarding the failure, by clicking the <Detailed data> button (d). 13.2 Manual calibration The Manual calibration process consists of the following stages: 1. Offset calibration - performs the offset calibration, the shaft must rotate continuously. 2. CAA / MAA Calibration - performs Coarse Amplitude Alignment (CAA) and Medium Amplitude Alignment (MAA) are calculated 3. Zero Position Set - Used to determine a Zero Position other than the factory default. 4. Jitter Test - Used to determine the amount of jitter and allow the user to decide if acceptable. Netzer Precision Position Sensors DS-130-PG-V01 25 Select <Manual Calibration> on the main screen (a). a 13.2.1 Offset calibration In this process, the DC offset of the sine and cosine signals are compensated over the operational sector (offset calibration). Click <Start data acquisition> (b). Rotate the shaft continuously during data collection, covering the whole working sector of the application from end to end. The progress bar (c) indicates the progress of the data collection. Rotation speed is not a parameter during data collection. By default, the procedure collects 500 points. The collected data for the fine / coarse channels, should be a clear "thin" circle which appears in the center of the plots (d) (e) with a possible slight offset. c b d e f When offset calibration is completed, click on <Continue to CAA/MAA Calibration> button (f ). 26 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE 13.2.2 Calibration of Coarse Amplitude Alignment (CAA) & Medium Amplitude Alignment (MAA) The following calibration aligns the coarse channel, and medium channel in certain encoders, with the fine channel by collecting data from each point in both channels. This is performed to make sure that every time the encoder is turned on, it would provide an accurate absolute position. Select the relevant option from the Measurement Range options (a): Full mechanical rotation - shaft movement is over a full 360 degrees rotation (that is the recommended calibration). Limited section - shaft has a limited rotation angle which is less than 360 degrees. In this mode you need to input the rotation range by degrees. Free sampling mode - sets the number of calibration points in accordance with the total number of points in the text box. The system displays the recommended number of points by default. The minimum points over the working sector is nine. Note that the Total number of points would change to the optimal default according to the selected measurement range above. Click the <Start Calibration> button (b). a b Netzer Precision Position Sensors DS-130-PG-V01 27 The Calibration process control (c) indicates the current position, and the next target position to which the shaft should be rotated. Rotate the shaft to the next position, stop and click the <Continue> button to sample the position (d). The shaft should be at STAND STILL when clicking the button. e d c f The Shaft movement status (e) indicates the shaft movement status. Complete the sampling process using the following routine: positioning the shaft --> stand still --> clicking <Continue> (d) to sample the position. When the process is completed click the <Apply and Continue to UZP> button (f ). 28 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE 13.3 Setting the zero-position of the encoder Select one of the options for setting the zero point and click <Apply and close>. It is possible to set either current position or rotate the shaft to any other position to be set as the zero point. It is also possible to set the Zero Point through the top menu bar, by selecting "Calibration" tab, and clicking "Set UZP". Netzer Precision Position Sensors DS-130-PG-V01 29 13.4 Jitter test The jitter test is used evaluate the level of electric noise. Common jitter should be up +/- 3 counts; higher jitter may indicate system noise and would require better grounding or shielding of the electric noise source. Select "Calibration" tab, and click "Jitter Test" Select the Jitter test mode (a). Set the Timing and Sampling parameters (b). Click <Start> button (c) and check if the results (d) are within acceptable tolerances for the intended application. b a c d 30 DS-130-PG-V01 Product Guide Absolute Rotary Encoder Hollow Shaft Three-plate DS-130 PRODUCT GUIDE Another indication of excessive jitter/noise when the blue dots in signal amplitude circle are not evenly distributed on a thin circle as appears below.
