MU-132, MU-133
The MU-132 and MU-133 modules are especially designed for the processing of quadrature signals from incremental rotary sensors (abbreviation IRC). However, the input signals encoder supports variety of other generally applicable counter modes.
The input circuits are designed for signals with RS-422 or TTL levels, and are equipped with digital low-pass filters to suppress "ringing" on input signals.
The encoder can be configured in-to following modes.
- quadrature X1, X2 and X4 (two signals for phases, one signal for reset)
- "up/down" (three signals for incrementation, decrementation and reset)
- "count/dir" (three signals pulse for counting, count direction and reset)
- "count/gate" (three signals for incrementation, counter blocking and the reset)
The output of the encoder is connected to the 32-bit counter (basic counting range 0÷4294967295) capable to unidirectional and bidirectional counting with configurable length (counting range from 0÷1 up to 0÷32767).
In case of a power-off, the counter value is backed up in EEPROM (does not require a backup battery limiting temperature range). After power-on the counter can optionally continue from either a backed up value or a zero value. Modules can therefore extend the IRC sensor function to the absolute encoder function.
Additionally, the MU-133 module is equipped with real-time clock circuit (abbreviation RTC) allowing e.g. to back up the power supply failure time. RTC circuit requires a battery and MU-133 can not be supplied for extended temperature range.
