In an embodiment, the memory includes a non-volatile memory. The encoder system may also include a controller, such as a microcontroller, operable to read from the memory the partition map and to adjust the partition map according to a misalignment measurement before configuring the configurable detector array. The encoder system may also include an emitter operable to generate a flux modulated by a motion object, wherein the configurable detector array is operable to receive the flux and generate respective current outputs for each of the detectors in response to the flux.

    摘要: An encoder includes a scale, a detector array that includes a plurality of detectors, and a signal processor configured to process and convert into positional information, an output signal from the detector array. The signal processor includes a first phase acquirer configured to acquire a first phase of a first modulation period from an output signal of the detector array. The encoder further includes a weighting unit configured to weight an output signal from each of a plurality of detectors using a weight in accordance with a position of the detector array. The weight is set so that in a predetermined range that contains a spatial frequency corresponding to the second modulation period in a spatial frequency response of the first phase acquirer, a value weighted by the weighting unit is equal to or smaller than a non-weighted value.

    摘要: A photoelectric encoder has a scale in which a main track for detecting an amount of movement is formed in a measuring direction. The photoelectric encoder includes an origin signal generating portion provided at a part of the main track in a direction orthogonal to the measuring direction. Thereby, change in a light receiving signal due to passage of the origin signal generating portion is detected to generate an origin signal. Thus, the origin signal which is in agreement with a main signal in phase is obtained and improve the reproducibility of an origin position.
