DESCRIPTION
The SB-36210IX is a PCI bus card that contains six channels of fully
independent Synchro-, Resolver- or LVDT/RVDT- (Linear/Rotary
Variable Differential Transformer) to-digital conversion. For each
channel the conversion process is implemented using a DDC RD-
19230 16-bit monolithic converter and a thin-film resistor network or
Scott-T transformer. The power oscillator can support 2 Vrms, 26
Vrms or 115 Vrms inputs from 57 to 7 kHz.
Each channel has an independent signal and reference input, and the
standard input is solid state. Transformer isolation is available for
60 Hz or 400 Hz applications. Signal connections are provided through
a 68-pin mini D-type connector (P1). The RD-19230 converter has an
incremental encoder output, also known as “A quad B” or quadrature
output which consists of the A, B, and Zero Index (ZI) outputs. Other
features include a self-test mode that places predetermined angular
values on the input to the RD-19230, a turns counter to keep track of
the number of rotations the synchro or resolver has made, and direc-
tion information to determine if the converter is counting up or down.
APPLICATIONS
Applications include modern, high performance industrial and military
position feedback and control systems.
Typical motion feedback
applications include motor control, machine tool control, antenna con-
trol, robotics and process control systems. The SB-36210IX is sup-
plied with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to analyze position infor-
mation, turns count, direction and BIT.
