Encoder Conditioning Unit

1.1. Interface Features

1.1.1. Self-Tuning Active Correction
The ECU interface actively corrects for input signal imperfections to optimize system accuracy. Corrections
are made for the following:
Automatic Offset Control (AOC)
Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
Automatic Balance Control (ABC)
These correction mechanisms operate over the full working speed range of the readhead. The user can
disable/enable the AGC by pressing the calibrate button for greater than 3 seconds.
1.1.2. LED Indicators
The tri-colored SETUP LED provides visual feedback of signal strength and error condition for setup and
diagnostic use. It flashes Off momentarily to indicate a reference mark, up to 100 mm/s only
