6.8 "Dead Zone"
The so-called "Dead Zone" occurs when:
Number of revolutions is not a power of 2.
Device operates in "Dead Zone" for the remaining positions needful to complete
the difference between “Total hardware resolution” and
the result of the difference is lower than
Example
“XAC77
16/16384
PX-xx”:
•
“Hardware counts per revolution”
= 65.536 (2
16
)
•
“Hardware number of revolutions”
= 16.384 (2
14
)
•
“Total hardware resolution”
= 1.073.741.824 (2
30
)
Set parameters values:
•
= 400.000.000
•
= 50.000
•
= 8.000
It follows that, for 384 revolutions (16.384 - 2 * 8.000 = 384), the encoder will
work within the "Dead Zone" limits.
It can be explained graphically:
NOTE
•
In “Dead Zone”, the transmitted position is coherent with setting resolution:
it is calculated so that the last position transmitted before zero position is
-1.
•
Make attention using the values sent by the encoder while working in “Dead
Zone”. When the encoder changes from normal status to “Dead Zone” status
(and vice versa) a jump of position occurs.
