1.5.2.2.3.2.4 Tilt angle
Tilting Circulo around the rotation axis of the motor and gearbox does not create any additional error (other
than affecting the zero position offset).
1.5.2.2.3.2.5 Mounting eccentricity (rotation axis offset)
This is the most crucial error source and hence should be as minimal as possible. The best way to cope with it
is to perform a calibration with a high accuracy reference encoder. The built-in auto-calibration procedure
usually can’t fully remove this error. If this error is not removed by calibration, a periodic once-a-revolution
distortion will be present in velocity and position data. This is usually known as the wide angle error or the
long wave error.
1.5.2.2.3.3 Battery for Multi-Turn
The battery for Multi-Turn must be placed separately, there is no dedicated space for it in Circulo. The pins
for the battery are incorporated into the
.
1.5.2.2.3.3.1 Suitable batteries
Primary cells with a nominal voltage of 3.3 V - 5,5 V are required as the battery voltage must always stay
above 3.0 V during operation. Such batteries are available for moderate as well as for extended temperature
range (e.g. 125 °C). Suitable cells are mainly based on lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCL2). They feature high
energy density, high output voltage stability and operating life up to 25 years. The self-discharge per year is
typically in the range of 1 %.
