Intelligent Absolute Encoder with Promising Market Potential

 

Considering application requirements, usage environment, and costs, Geehy provides two absolute encoder solutions:

 

1. Used in Photoelectric and Magnetoelectric Absolute Encoders

In this solution, APM32F103 industrial grade MCU is mainly used to read single-turn position, monitor voltage, calculate the number of turns and implement encoder protocol, which needs to be used with an encoder single-turn chip.

Option 1: MCU doesn’t support position calculation

 

2. Used in Photoelectric Absolute Encoder

In this solution, the APM32F103 industrial-grade MCU is mainly responsible for collecting the sine and cosine analog signals from the optical and magnetic sensors, monitoring the voltage, calculating the number of turns, and implementing the encoder protocol.
