Quadrature

 

This code module provides Quadrature

  • Encoder, and
  • Decoder support.

Encoder support:

Incremental encoders can be simulated with this code module.

Decoding support:

By analyzing two 90 degrees shifted signal inputs from incremental encoder sensors, rotation direction and position can be determined.

The two signals A and B in the below graph represent typical waveforms of such inputs. Signal C/Index represents the end of each complete cycle:



Depending on your required data, the QAD code module allows you to set the following parameters:

Quadrature modes:

  • 1x: Counter increments at each rising edge event of signal A
  • 2x: Counter increments at each rising or falling edge event of signal A
  • 4x: Counter increments at each rising or falling edge event of signal A and B

Actions on Index (C)

You can define the following counter settings whenever C/Index is High (end of cycle):

  • Reset on index: Counter is cleared
  • Reload on index: Counter is reset with your selected init value
  • Latch on index: Stores the counter value into the output register
  • Index reference mode: Resets the counter to zero when the C/Index signal of the encoder is high for the first time. After this initial high C/Index signal, the QAD code module will ignore the C/Index signal and switch to "ignore index input" mode.
  • Ignore index input: no action

Counting modes

  • Cycling counter: defines a counter range of -2^31 to 2^31 - 1
  • Divide-by-N: defines a counter range of - Steps per revolution to + Steps per revolution - 1. Each time the counter reaches the selected minimum or maximum Steps per revolution value, the counter is reset.
  • Single Cycle: Counting stops when a defined counting value is met. To start counting again, a reset is required.

Steps per revolution

The number of steps can be freely configured based on your hardware specifications. Typical values are powers of two (1024, 2048, 4096, …).
