수치제어(NC : numerical control) 기술은 공장자동화를 위한 중요 기술이다. 우리 산업현장에 공장 자동화가 확장되면서 NC 공작기계, 산업용 로봇, 삼차원 좌표측정기 등의 사용이 매우 증 가되고 있다. 이러한 수치제어용 기계에서는 자동 위치제어를 위하여 길이변위와 회전각도 감 지용 센서인 NC 엔코더가 매우 중요한 부품이다. NC 엔코더에는 선형 엔코더(NC-스케일)와 회전 엔코더가 있으며, 각각 직선운동과 회전운동을 제어하기 위해서 필요한 자동화 부품이다. 그림 1에서는 CNC 위치제어 시스템에서 정확한 위치로 이동을 목표로하여 서보 제어할 때 기 계축의 위치를 감지하는 센서가 NC 엔코더임을 보여주고 있다. 선형 엔코더는 직선운동의 변 위를 감지하며 NC-스케일 이라고도 말한다. 우리나라에서는 아직 엔코더 제작기술을 개발하지 못하여 전량수입에 의존하고 있다. 이러한 NC 엔코더의 수요는 해외 시장뿐만 아니라 국내시 장에서도 급격히 증가되고 있으며 국산화 개발이 시급하다. 이 글에서는 엔코더의 종류별 작동 원리를 설명하고 또한 NC-스케일 제조기술을 개발하기 위하여 실험하였던 결과를 정리하고자 한다.

Recently, with the adoption of modern computing and communication technologies, manufacturing systems have become more autonomous and intelligent. Thus, as the number of field devices with smart sensors also increase, the need for an integrated management of such devices becomes essential. This paper proposes a smart encoder architecture that integrates the position sensing function with CANopen connectivity. In addition, an integrated system is proposed to simultaneously control and monitor multiple encoders over the Controller Area Network (CAN) fieldbus network. We evaluated the performance and functionalities of the proposed system by comparative experiments with commercial CANopen smart encoders using a CANopen conformance test.

This paper is presented to study the error minimization of angular velocity for AGV(autonomous ground vehicle). The error minimization of angular velocity is related to localization technique which is the most important technique for autonomous vehicle. Accelerometer, yaw gyro and electronic compass have been used to measure angular velocity. And methods for error minimization of angular velocity have been actively studied through probabilistic methods and sensor fusion for AGVs. However, those sensors still occure accumulated error by mathematical error, system characters of each sensor, and computational cost are increased greatly when several sensor are used to correct accumulated error. Therefore, this paper studies about error minimization of angular velocity that just uses encoder and gyro. To experiment, we use autonomous vehicle which is made by ourselves. In experimental result, we verified that the localization error of proposed method has even less than the localization errors which we just used encoder and gyro respectively.

The incremental encoder has been mostly used to measure the speed and position of the motor. As the output signals of encoder are high frequency digital signals, they have much influence on radiation noises due to switching of the power semiconductor circuits. It is so difficult to suppress the noises with the conventional LPF. In this paper, the hardware digital filter for suppressing noises in the output signals of the encoder signals is developed. As both the clock frequency and counter in the digital filter for encoder are easily adjusted according to the kinds of noises, any noises in the encoder can be entirely eliminated. The performance of the digital filter has been verified by simulation and experimental results.

증분형 엔코더는 디지털 시스템과 인터페이스가 용이성하고 비교적 정밀한 정보를 얻을 수 있다는 장점 때문에 많이 사용되고 있다. 증분형 엔코더를 이용하여 운동 방향이 자주 변화하는 모터의 위치를 검출하는 경우 일반적인 방법으로는 계속하여 오차가 누적될 가능성이 매우 크다. 본 논문에서는 모터의 운동 방향이 아무리 많이 변하더라도 전혀 오차 없이 모터의 위치를 검출하는 방법을 제시하고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.

Recently, fieldbus communication technologies have been widely deployed for industrial automation because they are profitable in providing easy system integration and management for multiple devices, as well as high-speed communication. It is essential for smart encoders to support fieldbus connectivity, where the device configuration and various types of information related to position are exchanged between an external controller and multiple encoders over the communication link. In this study, we implemented the CiA 406 device profile for smart encoders from the CANopen standards by extending an open-source CANopen standard-compliant framework, called CanFestival. The CiA 406 functionalities implemented in this study were validated on a test-bed consisting of a CANopen master and virtual CANopen encoders with our CiA 406 extension module.

A fast multiplier and ADC are essential to process the analog signals in real time. The double-base number system(DBNS) is known as an efficient method for this purpose. The DBNS uses the numbers 2 and 3 as the base numbers simultaneously. The system has an advantage of fast multiplication, less chip area, and low power consumption compared to the binary multiplier. However, the inherent errors of the log number's intrinsic tolerance in DBNS are accumulated in a FIR digital filter, so the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) has a tendency to be degraded. In this paper, the nonlinear encoder of ADC is designed to compensate the accumulated errors of DBNS by analysing the error distributions of various filter coefficients. The new ADC does not sacrifice its own advantages because the encoder circuits are modified only. The experiments were done with an FIR filters those were designed to have -70dB of SNR in stop band. The proposed nonlinear ADC encoder could drop the SNR to -45dB in stop band, in contrast to -35dB with the linear encoder.

In a switched reluctance motor drive, it is important to synchronize the stator phase excitation with the rotor position, Therefore the position of rotor is an essential information. Although high resolution optical encoder/resolvers we used to provide a precise position information, these sensors are expensive. And switching angles synchronizing using sensorless technique has some problems like a reliability and fluctuating of the preset value in the high-speed region, which is caused by the sampling period of the microprocessor. In this paper, a low cost analog encoder suitable for practical applications is proposed. And the control algorithm to generate switching signals using a simple digital logic is presented. The validity of the proposed analog encoder with a proper logic controller is verified from the experiments.
