PC15 Panelcoders™
•
Provides digital control inputs
from operator’s panel
•
Bidirectional squarewave
signal outputs
•
Continuous and reversible
rotation
Series PC15 Panelcoders directly convert an
operator's manual rotary inputs into digital
signals. These signals can be used by
microprocessors and electronic counters with
no A/D conversion required. Eliminating A/D
conversion and input de-bounce circuitry
associated with potentiometers and other types
of controls helps reduce memory overhead and
wiring inter-connects. Since Panelcoders are
non-contacting, there are no wipers or contacts
to wear or create electrical noise.
Panelcoders are designed for use as panelmounted operator-interface devices where
extended service, high resolution and precise
linearity are required. They deliver a digital
signal virtually free of distortion, and can be
operated at higher speeds without diminished
output integrity.
Panelcoders give the operator a simple
"analog-feel," while giving designers digital
outputs and greater flexibility.
Panelcoders are designed specifically for
applications where a higher resolution panel
encoder is required (up to 256 PPR). The
standard configuration corresponds to a typical
1.5" panel-mounted potentiometer. Termination
can be made with user's choice of a mating
connector or soldered wires. Panelcoders are
also available with a higher manual starting
torque (drag) option for operator preference or
higher vibration applications.
