Abstract

Encoder system is widely used in rotational measurements in embedded systems. These encoder systems use a bicolor encoder disc/wheel and at least two channel sensors connected to a microcontroller for rotational measurements. The novel theoretical concept in this article discloses a system to measure the speed of rotation, position of rotation, direction of rotation and fault detection using a multi-colour / multi-material encoder disc and a single-channel sensor in embedded systems. The system is used to measure the shaft rotation, a measure which finds applications in various fields like automotive, power tools, medical devices, manufacturing, etc. The system is useful due to its compactness.

Keywords

Encoder disc, Multi color encoder disc, Multi material encoder disc, Optical encoder, Rotary encoder.
