AEAT-86AD
14/12 Bit Multi-turn Encoder Module with Built-in Controller
Data Sheet
Description
The AEAT-86AD provides all functions as an optoelec-
tronic mechanical unit in order to implement, with single
turn absolute encoder, an absolute multi-turn encoder
with a combined capacity of up to 30 bits at extended
temperature.
The unit consists of an LED circuit board, a phototransis-
tor (PT) circuit board, and gear train arranged in between
the PCBs.
The built-in controller combined positional information
from single turn absolute encoder and multiturn absolute
encoder. It provides control inputs and signal outputs to
application end. The integrated RS-422 differential line
driver output and line receiver are for noise immunity in
transmission line.

GENERAL
AEAT-86AD Multiturn Encoder Module is integrated with
a controller. The controller provides data synchronization
between Single Turn Absolute Encoder Module (i.e. AEAS-
7X00) and basic multiturn encoder module. Its combines
the serial data from both modules into combined (n
MT
+
n
ST
) bit resolution to application end.
The most significant bit (MSB) will always be sent first to
DATA+.
With integrated RS422 line driver and receiver, the differ-
ential data transmission is compatible with EIA standard
RS-422.
MSBINV
The MSB can be inverted (counting direction) by using
MSBINV.
STROBE
STROBE output pin can be used to determine whether
the data is locked or changing. It is high when date is
locked, but low when data is changing.
CONNECTION TO AEAS-7X00
Besides VDDA, VDD and GND of AEAS-7x00 need to be
connected to the Multiturn Encoder Module, data and
control i/o pins also need to be connected and soldered,
i.e. NSDOUT, N2SCL, N2NSL and N2DIN
NOTE:
n
MT
= resolution of multiturn module
n
ST
= resolution of single turn module
SRCLK+ and SRCLK -
SRCLK input pins are used to clocked out the serial out-
puts data through the DATA pins. Lapse time between
words or subsequent data frame must be 40
µs
or longer
for proper data transmission.
DATA+ and DATA -
DATA output pins provides positional information via
synchronous serial interface, which consists of
n
MT
bit
of serial data from multiturn module and
n
ST
bit of serial
data from single turn module.

Notes:
1. Internal hardware clock that is built into the module
2. As unique coded gear-wheels techniques are implemented to generate unambiguous positional information, the interactions between these
high wear resistant gear wheels are subjected to mechanical wear and tear.
