    Abstract: An encoder includes a light source. A booster circuit boosts a power supply voltage output by a battery, and outputs the boosted voltage. The voltage is applied to one end of a light-emitting diode. A driver circuit is inserted between another end of the light-emitting diode and a ground, the driver circuit controlling current flowing through the light-emitting diode. A voltage detector circuit detects a voltage between the light-emitting diode and the driver circuit. A control circuit causes the booster circuit to boost the power supply voltage when the voltage is lower than the power supply voltage; stops the boosting performed by the booster circuit when the voltage is equal to the power supply voltage; and controls the driver circuit such that, after the voltage reaches a predetermined value, current flows to the light-emitting diode.

    Abstract: There is provided a photoelectric encoder that can deconcentrate a calculation load in a photoelectric ABS encoder, and reduce power consumption.A photoelectric encoder includes light receiving units 6 configured to output a plurality of photocurrent signals obtained by receiving light emitted from a light emission unit 5, via a scale SC, a signal conversion unit 10 configured to output a conversion signal by converting the plurality of photocurrent signals, a position calculation unit 20 configured to calculate an absolute position based on the conversion signal, and a microcomputer 3 configured to perform drive control of the light emission unit 5, the signal conversion unit 10, and the position calculation unit 20. The microcomputer 3 intermittently drives at least either one of the light emission unit 5 and the signal conversion unit 10, and causes the position calculation unit 20 to execute calculation according to a timing of intermit driving.

    Abstract: In a photoelectric absolute encoder including a scale having a plurality of tracks with different pitch patterns, and a detector having a light source and light receiving elements including a plurality of light receiving element arrays corresponding to the plurality of tracks, a light receiving element array is additionally arranged at a position in the detector corresponding to a boundary between the track having a pattern with a wide pitch and the track having a pattern with a narrow pitch adjacent to each other in the scale, and displacement of the detector relative to the scale in a lateral direction is detected from a signal amplitude of the added light receiving element array. In this manner, displacement of the detector relative to the scale in the lateral direction can be detected.
