Fig. 3-27 Angle unit block diagram
To make the absolute encoder robust and less sensitive to eccentric mounting errors, two CMOS
sensors are positioned with 180 separation at the disk to read the tracks (coarse and fine code). The
final angle value is calculated as the mean value of these two readings and first order errors with same
size but different signs will be eliminated.
