This paper proposes an efficient detection of absolute position of a robot joint using two incremental encoders. We considers a robot joint comprising a motor, a reducer, two encoders, and a motor drive. An incremental(first) encoder provides motor's rotor position or input position of reducer while another incremental(second) encoder does output position of the reducer. A table is made where the relationship between the first and the second encoder counts is recorded. The key point is placed where the table is constructed: when a pulse occurs in the second encoder, there exists a corresponding unique count value of the first encoder. The absolute position is detected using the table by searching the second encoder position corresponding to the first encoder count value when a pulse occurs in the second encoder. The proposed method needs a small rotation, as just one second encoder's pulse angle, for the initial absolute position detection.

Shaft encoder which encodes the rotational angle of a shaft becomes more important recently due to factory automation and office automation. Although an absolute type encoder is more dsirable due to its convenience an incremental encoder is commonly used because of its cost and technical difficulties Fabricating a high resolution absolute encoder is very diff-cult because the physical size is limited by currently available technology. In order to overcome this difficulty Moire fringe can be used incorporated with gray code. In order to measure the position of fringes which move as the code disk rotates a neural network was developed in this paper. Formerly fringe position is usually measured by a sophisticated software which needs a little long calculation time. However using nerual network method can eliminate such calculation time even though it needs learning job The pro-posed method is verified through several experiments.

This paper presents a new type of absolute rotary encoder system based on the affine n-digit N-ary gray code. A brief comparison of the existing encoder systems is carried out in terms of resolution, encoding and decoding principles and number of sensor heads needed. Using the proposed method, two different types of encoder disks are designed, namely, color-coded disk and grayscale coded disk. The designed coded disk pattern is used to manufacture 3 digit 3 ary and 2 digit 5 ary grayscale coded disks respectively. The manufactured disk is used with the light emitter and photodetector assembly to design the entire encode system. Experimental analysis is done on the designed prototype with LabVIEW platform for data acquisition. A comparison of the designed system is done with the traditional binary gray code encoder system in terms of resolution, disk diameter, number of tracks and data acquisition system. The resolution of the manufactured system is 3 times higher than the conventional system. Also, for a 5 digit 5 ary coded encoder system, a resolution approximately 100 times better than the conventional binary system can be achieved. In general, the proposed encoder system gives $(N/2)^n$ times better resolution compared with the traditional gray coded disk. The miniaturization in diameter of the coded disk can be achieved compared to the conventional binary systems.

An absolute type shaft encoder which utilized moire fringe will be presented in this paper. Linear moire fringe is commonly used to measure the displacement of the linear motion. However, an absolute encoder which measure the rotation angle of a shaft is operated usually with a code disk which the gray code pattern is printed on. Such encoder has inherently resolution limit because of the patterning mechanism and sensing mechanism. In order to measure the position of fringes which move as the code disk rotates, neural network was developed in this paper. Formerly fringe position is usually measured by a sophisticated software, which needs a little long calculation time. However, using neural network method can eliminate such calculation time, even though it needs learning job. The proposed method is verified through several experiments.

This paper presents the development of a magneto-optical encoder for higher precision and smaller size. In general, optical encoders can have very high precision based on the position information of the slate, while their sizes tend to be larger due to the presence of complex and large components, such as an optical module. In contrast, magnetic encoders have exactly the opposite characteristics, i.e., small size and low precision. In order to achieve encoder features encompassing the advantages of both optical and magnetic encoders, i.e., high precision and small size, we designed a magneto-optical encoder and developed a method to detect absolute position, by compensating for the error of the hall sensor using the linear table compensation method. The performance of the magneto-optical encoder was evaluated through an experimental testbed.

SRM(Switched Reluctance Motor) uses reluctance torque by pulse excitation control. SRM drives are much studied in electrical vehicles and industrial application due to the simple, robust mechanical structure and high speed characteristics. For the high performance control of SRM, it is necessary to synchronize the stator phase excitation with the rotor position. This paper proposes a new encoder for high performance excitation control of SRM. The proposed encoder has complex structures of incremental and absolute encoder. An each phase inductance profile can be synchronized with 4-bit absolute position signal and incremental pulses are used for speed detection. Low cost and simple manufacturing of SRM encoder is possible.

최대 토크를 발휘하도록 정현파형 영구자석형 동기전동기를 구동하기 위해서는 회전자 절대위치에 동기화된 120도 위상차를 갖는 3상 정현파 전류 입력이 고정자 코일에 요구된다. 그러므로 회전자 절대위치 검출이 필연적이다. 그리고 고정자 자계와 회전자 자계 사이의 90도 위상 관계가 정류 동작에 의해 유지되어야 한다. 정류를 위한 절대 위치 검출은 일반적으로 모터 축에 부착된 엔코더 출력 신호의 분석에 의해 이루어진다. 본 연구는 현대의 엔코더 시스템을 부착한 모터의 절대위치를 검출 할 수 있는 신호처리 논리회로 설계를 목적으로 하며, 고정자 코일에 정현파 전류 입력을 만들어주기 위한 삼상 기준파형을 발생시킨다.

In switched reluctance motor(SRM) drive, it is necessary to synchronize the stator phase excitation with the rotor position. Therefore, the rotor position information is essential. Usually, optical encoders or resolvers are used to provide the rotor position information. These sensors are expensive and are not suitable for high speed operation. This paper proposes a new encoder for high performance excitation control of SRM. The proposed encoder has complex structures of incremental and absolute encoder. An each phase inductance profile can be synchronized with 4-bit absolute position signal and incremental pulses are used for speed detection. Low cost and simple structure are possible.
