The programmable interpolation unit IPE201 is intended for connection to incremental position and angle measuring systems with sinusoidal input signals that are phase-shifted by 90 °. It can be operated on a large number of encoder systems that work according to the most varied of measuring principles. The IPE201 divides the signal periods up to 256 times. The interpolation unit works with both single-ended and differential input signals. The configuration takes place either via USB, the SSI / BiSS interface or the internal EEPROM of the GC-IP201B. It is also possible to equip the unit with an SPI interface (3.3V or 5V system).
An AMAC-specific gain and offset control as well as the possibility of phase correction of the internal GC-IP201B ensure a high measurement accuracy under industrial conditions.
The unit can be connected to a standard meter or a control (delivery status) via the RS422 interface. Alternatively, it is possible to reconfigure the IPE201 via USB and connect it to an SSI / BiSS master. The operating voltage is 5 VDC.
The functions of the interpolation circuit GC-IP201B, such as switchable analog filters or digital hysteresis, make the unit ideal for use in control systems.
