Control Techniques 095U3B400BACAA Rotary Encoder Unit

Module Feature

095U3B400BACAA (part number 100190) is a 400 PPR high resolution optical rotary encoder manufactured by Control Techniques,designed for closed-loop position feedback of servo motors. It adopts non-contact optical grating sensing technology to convert mechanical rotary motion into digital quadrature pulse signals. RS-422 differential A/B/Z phase output provides strong anti-EMI performance and stable signal transmission over long cables inside servo cabinets. The metal shielding housing isolates interference generated by high-power drive circuits. Built-in BIT diagnostic circuit continuously monitors the power rail and optical signal path integrity; fault codes can be retrieved via Control Techniques Unidrive Tools software. Reinforced bearing assembly offers excellent shock and vibration resistance,widely applied in industrial servo axis control,automation test bench and hardware-in-loop real-time simulation chassis.

Working principle

When the servo motor shaft rotates, the optical grating disc rotates synchronously. Infrared LED light passes through grating slits and is captured by photodiode array,producing A/B quadrature pulses for speed and rotation direction calculation and Z index pulse for origin homing. RS-422 differential line driver transmits feedback signals to the Control Techniques servo drive feedback port. BIT circuit detects LED luminous intensity and supply voltage to identify hardware faults. Metal shield housing blocks electromagnetic noise coupling from high-current power wiring.
