Closed-loop monitoring via USB port
Renishaw’s groundbreaking encoder range offers a
level of performance more commonly associated with finer pitch
encoder systems, yet it is extremely rugged and easy to use.
The software is PC based and provides comprehensive
calibration, set-up optimisation and real-time diagnostics to
simplify installation and system maintenance. The Si interface is
connected to the PC via a mini USB connector.
Key features and benefits of software:
• Real time signal monitoring – allows the signal level and system
performance to be monitored in several different ways, including
signal strength meter, lissajous plot and IRED feedback meter
(AGC drive), to assist system optimisation.
• Pitch adjustment – this innovative indicator enables fine
adjustment of the readhead pitch - particularly useful for readhead
set-up on small diameter rings.
• System calibration – allows quick and simple remote calibration of
the reference mark and incremental signals with the press of a
button. The calibration data is then saved to disk for fault-finding
and to provide system performance history.
• Remote system monitoring – allows you to monitor the signal
strength and performance of your system remotely during real-time
closed-loop operation.
• Advanced error logging – logs any alarms or warnings that have
occurred since switch-on or last reset. The warning function alerts
the user to conditions that are less than optimum, whilst the alarm
indicates when an error has occurred.
• Technical ‘info’ guide – provides basic contextual help and a
comprehensive technical guide. The 'Info' guide provides a more
detailed explanation of system functions and fault-finding.
• System configuration – allows you to view the configuration of the
Si interface detailing resolution, clock frequency, error & warning
outputs and options.
• Multilingual user interface - allows you to select from English,
German, Italian and Japanese.
