Abstract:
A resolver interface (10) includes separate anti-aliasing filters (20, 22) for sine and cosine signals. The separately filtered signals are then time share multiplexed (26) to a single analog to digital (A/D) converter (28). Because all of the inputs are fed through the same A/D converter, any error, difference or shift caused by the A/D converter is shared across all of the inputs. A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) (30) and processor (38) are used to digitally filter (34), demodulate (36) and compute position (46).

Abstract:
A deviation angle detector (1) enlarges its application range by enlarging the detectable deviation angle range. The deviation angle detector (1) has two resolvers (VR1 and VR2), which have rotors (10 and 20), stators (11 and 21), and single excitation windings and multiple output windings (12, 13 and 22, 23) that are coiled around stators (11 and 21). The difference in rotation angles of the resolvers (VR1 and VR2) is detected as a deviation angle (Δθ) by calculating the output signal that corresponds to the rotation angles of both resolvers digitally or in analog. The corresponding output windings (12, 13 and 22, 23) of the resolvers (VR1 and VR2) are connected in series and the output signals (Es and Ec) are extracted from the serially connected output windings and calculated digitally or in analog.
Abstract:
There is provided an R/D converter capable of realizing a high speed response. When a sine wave for excitation of a resolver is a positive (or negative) maximum value, an AD converter makes AD conversion of a sine-wave output and a cosine-wave output of the resolver and makes input to a DSP. The DSP calculates on the basis of the input data, and outputs an obtained digital value to a DA converter and the like. Since the DSP calculates a rotor shaft angle, as compared with prior art (R/D converter of a tracking system) which includes a close loop made up of a demodulator circuit, a voltage controlled oscillator, and the like, and carries out a kind of PLL control, it becomes possible to carry out rotor shaft angle calculation at higher speed, and the high speed response can be realized by this. Since the rotor shaft angle is obtained through a digital operation, a compensation circuit of temperature drift, which has been required in the prior art, becomes unnecessary, and by that, the whole structure becomes simple, and the cost can be reduced.
Abstract:
A resolver to digital converter wherein the data from the resolver (10) is processed according to octants which provide the most significant 3-bits indicating shaft position. The sine and cosine values from the resolver (10) are further processed according to the octant with the smaller value being divided by the larger value to derive a tangent value in the range of zero to one. A look-up table can then be used to provide a linear position indication from the tangent values which are then added to the octant value to obtain the shaft position in-dication.
Abstract:
An absolute decoder comprises a measuring scale (1) with at least one track and a plurality of analog sensors (47, 48) for such track. The output of each sensor is modulated by the track to generate a plurality of cyclic non-sinusoidal multiphase analog signals from the sensors indicative of the relative position of the sensors and the measuring scale. The multiphase signals are converted to digital form (50, 51) and conditionally added or subtracted (58) to obtain an output that increases linearly in proportion to the position of the sensors relative to the measuring scale.
