TPMC150

The TPMC150 is a standard single-width 32 bit PMC module from our TECHNOLOGIES GmbH providing four (TPMC150-10), three (TPMC150-11), two (TPMC150-12) or one channel (TPMC150-13) of a Tracking Synchro/Resolver-To-Digital Converter (RDC) with a converter accuracy of 2 arcmin + 1LSB.

The TPMC150 is designed for use in high performance commercial, industrial and military systems. It can by used for many applications like motor control, robot axis control, process control, radar antenna position information, and CNC machine tooling.

Each of the up to four RDC channels on the TPMC150 utilizes DDC's versatile state-of-the-art Tracking Synchro/Resolver-To-Digital Converter RDC19230 with programmable resolution. Resolution programming allows selection of 10, 12, 14 or 16 bit conversion. This combines the high tracking rate of a 10 bit converter with the precision of a 16 bit converter. The RDC19230 provides incremental encoder emulation. Encoder phase signals A, B and Index I are fed to an on board 32 bit up-/down encoder counter with preload and output register. Additionally the synthesized encoder signals are available for external use via RS485/422 output drivers. The RDC19230 provides a 4V velocity output with a linearity of 0.75%, which can be used to replace a tachometer. A 24V isolated digital input per channel can be used as general purpose input or as reference input.
