Figure 10.6 - Mathematical model of the motor and amplifier in three operational modes
Encoder
The encoder generates N pulses per revolution. It outputs two signals, Channel A and B, which are in quadrature.
Due to the quadrature relationship between the encoder channels, the position resolution is increased to 4N
quadrature counts/rev.
The model of the encoder can be represented by a gain of
K
f
= 4N/2π [count/rad]
For example, a 1000 lines/rev encoder is modeled as
K
f
= 638
DAC
The DAC or D-to-A converter converts a 16-bit number to an analog voltage. The input range of the numbers is
65536 and the output voltage range is +/-10V or 20V. Therefore, the effective gain of the DAC is
K= 20/65536 = 0.0003 [V/count]
