Description:
The
USB1
is a data acquisition device designed to track up to 4 incremental
encoders and 8 digital inputs. Each of the 4 external encoders has a dedicated
24-bit real-time hardware up/down counter. The internal microcontroller then
reads and stores the value of all four counters, the 8 digital inputs, and a 32-
bit time stamp at a rate configured by the user. This historical buffer can be
downloaded to the PC using the USB interface at any convenient time, even
while continuing to store more samples in the internal circular buffer. The
USB1
also includes the capability to use either encoder position changes or
combinations of digital inputs as triggering and/or storage qualification events.
Eight relay driver type digital outputs are provided along with an
SEI
port that
can read up to 15 US Digital absolute encoders per device. The
USB1
takes
advantage of the robustness, speed, and easy configurability of the Universal
Serial Bus architecture while providing a simple and consistent software
interface for the encoders and inputs that it is tracking. The
USB1
is intended
for use with computers that have at least one free USB port and are running
the Windows 98 or Windows 2000 operating systems. The
USB1
is fully
compatible with USB expansion hubs, allowing multiple
USB1
units to be used
on a single computer.
The
USB1
is powered by a standard US Digital unregulated DC power supply
(PS-9V). The
USB1
provides 5VDC power to the encoders and digital I/O
connectors. The
USB1
may be instructed to retain configuration settings (but
not count values) when power is removed. If power is lost, the incremental
counters reset to zero.
The
USB1
supports both indexed and non-indexed encoders in QUAD1,
QUAD2 or QUAD4. It provides independent, bi-directional counts on each of
its four incremental encoder channels, with counts from -8,388,608 to
8,388,607 at rates of up 230 KHz in quadrature mode. The
USB1
command
protocol provides access to a control register for each channel, allowing
individually programmable count modes of Normal Count, Modulo-N, Non-
recycle, and Range Limit for each channel. The
USB1
may be configured in
software to zero a channels counter when an encoder index signal is
asserted.
The
SEI
port on the
USB1
is designed for US Digitals
SEI-based
products, such
as our
A2
absolute encoders. The baud rate of the
SEI
port is fully program-
mable, and supports baud rates from 2400 to 57,600.
