Sensor and encoder interfaces
Various solutions for different cable lengths are described in chap. 4.2.2, p. 24. The objec
-
tive here should be to increase the signal quality to a reliably usable minimum.
The sensor systems used at FAULHABER for angle determination should be divided accord
-
ing to their useful frequency range. Depending on the frequency range, various filter meas
-
ures are suitable.
Analog Hall sensors (very low frequency)
Digital Hall sensors and quadrature interfaces
Absolute encoder

To evaluate the interference on the signal (transmission quality), measure the signals.
Make certain that no parasitic effects are measured. Select the reference potential cor
-
rectly and measure directly on the controller if possible.
The following statement applies to all mentioned sensor systems: Differential signal trans
-
mission with line driver is an effective measure for increasing the interference immunity for
longer cable lengths.
Additional measures for the various sensor systems can be found in the following sections.
