Agilent AEDB-9140 Series
Three Channel Optical Incremental
Encoder Modules with Codewheel,
100 CPR to 500 CPR
Data Sheet
Description
The AEDB-9140 series are
three channel optical
incremental encoder modules
offered with a codewheel.
When used with a codewheel,
these low cost modules detect
rotary position. Each module
consists of a lensed LED
source and a detector IC
enclosed in a small plastic
package. Due to a highly
collimated light source and a
unique photodetector array,
these modules are extremely
tolerant to mounting
misalignment.
The AEDB-9140 has two
channel quadrature outputs
plus a third channel index
output. This index output is a
90 electrical degree high true
index pulse which is generated
once for each full rotation of
the codewheel.
The AEDB-9140 is designed
for use with a codewheel
which has an optical radius of
11.00 mm (0.433 inch).
Features
•
Two Channel Quadrature Output
with Index Pulse
•
Resolution from 100 CPR to 500
CPR (Counts Per Revolution)
•
Low Cost
The quadrature signals and the
index pulse are accessed
through five 0.46 mm square
pins located on 1.27 mm(pitch)
centers.
Applications
The AEDB-9140 provide
sophisticated motion control
detection at a low cost, making
them ideal for high volume
applications. Typical
applications include printers,
plotters, tape drives, and
industrial and factory
automation equipment.
Note: Agilent Technologies encoders are not
recommended for use in safety critical
applications. Eg. ABS braking systems, power
steering, life support systems and critical care
medical equipment. Please contact sales
representative if more clarification is needed.

Theory of Operation
The AEDB-9140 are emitter/
detector modules. Coupled
with a codewheel, these
modules translate the rotary
motion of a shaft into a three-
channel digital output.
As seen in Figure 1, the
modules contain a single Light
Emitting Diode (LED) as its
light source. The light is
collimated into a parallel beam
by means of a single
polycarbonate lens located
directly over the LED.
Opposite the emitter is the
integrated detector circuit. This
IC consists of multiple sets of
photodetectors and the signal
processing circuitry necessary
to produce the digital
waveforms.

The codewheel rotates between
the emitter and detector,
causing the light beam to be
interrupted by the pattern of
spaces and bars on the
codewheel.
The photodiodes which detect
these interruptions are
arranged in a pattern that
corresponds to the radius and
design of the code-wheel.
These detectors are also
spaced such that a light period
on one pair of detectors
corresponds to a dark period
on the adjacent pair of
detectors.
The photodiode outputs are
then fed through the signal
processing circuitry resulting
in A, Abar, B, Bbar, I and
Ibar. Comparators receive
these signals and produce the
final outputs for channels A
and B. Due to this integrated
phasing technique, the digital
output of channel A is in
quadrature with that of
channel B (90 degrees out of
phase).

Output Waveforms

Definitions
Note: Refer to Figure 2
Count (N): The number of bar
and window pairs or counts
per revolution (CPR) of the
codewheel.
One Cycle (C): 360 electrical
degrees (°e), 1 bar and
window pair.
One Shaft Rotation: 360
mechanical degrees, N cycles.
Position Error (∆Θ): The
normalized angular difference
between the actual shaft
position and the position
indicated by the encoder cycle
count.
Cycle Error (∆C): An
indication of cycle uniformity.
The difference between an
observed shaft angle which
gives rise to one electrical
cycle, and the nominal angular
increment of 1/N of a
revolution.
Pulse Width (P): The number
of electrical degrees that an
output is high during 1 cycle.
This value is nominally 180°e
or 1/2 cycle.
Pulse Width Error (∆P): The
deviation, in electrical degrees,
of the pulse width from its
ideal value of 180°e.
State Width (S): The number
of electrical degrees between a
transition in the output of
channel A and the neighboring
transition in the output of
channel B. There are 4 states
per cycle, each nominally 90°e.
State Width Error (∆S): The
deviation, in electrical degrees,
of each state width from its
ideal value of 90°e.
Phase (f): The number of
electrical degrees between the
center of the high state of
channel A and the center of
the high state of channel B.
This value is nominally 90°e
for quadrature output.
Phase Error (∆φ): The
deviation of the phase from its
ideal value of 90°e.
Direction of Rotation: When
the codewheel rotates in the
clockwise direction viewing
from top of the module
(direction from V to G),
channel A will lead channel B.
If the codewheel rotates in the
opposite direction, channel B
will lead channel A.
Optical Radius (Rop): The
distance from the codewheel’s
center of rotation to the
optical center (O.C) of the
encoder module.
Index Pulse Width (Po): The
number of electrical degrees
that an index is high during
one full shaft rotation. This
value is nominally 90°e or 1/4
cycle.

Notes
Electrical Interface
To insure reliable encoding
performance, the AEDB-9140
three channel encoder modules
require 2.7 kΩ (± 10%) pull-up
resistors on output pins 2, 3,
and 5 (Channels A, I and B)
as shown in Figure 3. These
pull-up resistors should be
located as close to the encoder
module as possible (within 4
feet). Each of the three
encoder module outputs can
drive a single TTL load in this
configuration.
