The measurement solution includes a GMR, an amplifier and a processing unit, which can be controlled by a PC (via USB interface). The head GLM711AVx is intended for the use with passive scales with a pitch of 1 mm. A bias magnet for the necessary magnetic field and the element is combined in a very small housing. The integration supports an optimal adjustment between and magnet which helps to generate a very high quality of signals. Together with a ferromagnetic tooth structure, the delivers two 90 degree phase shifted analog signals (sine and cosine). To allow a larger distance between measuring point and processing unit an amplifier EPV7702AAA is available. A metal housing protects the electronics. The amplification is optimized for the solution. The processing unit EPP7703AAA adapts the signals and generates an analog ratiometric output signal which is proportional to the position of the valve. The max refresh rate is 80 khz. The measuring mode is indicated by a LED.

Functions of the processing unit EPP7703AAA-UA Communication Interface The processing unit is connected to a virtual RS-232 COM-Port of your PC. Communication with the processing unit is possible via this concept. Gain A programmable amplifier is available. It is possible to adjust the gain to suit the installation situation of the or to adapt the signal to the signal chain. Programmable Resolution The total resolution of the processing unit is 12 bit (4096). The table shows the relationship between the number of measurable tooth pitches and tooth measurement resolution per division. An increase in length measurement is therefore possible by increasing the number of the sampled teeth. The measurement resolution is reduced by this. Number of teeth Resolution (bit) Resolution 1) 16 8 3.92 µm 2) 32 7 7.87 µm 64 6 15.87 µm 128 5 31.25 µm 1) Resulting resolution with a tooth pitch of 1 mm. 2) Default setup. Level adjust The level adjust is used to remove the offset voltage (V off ) from the output signal (see Fig. 6). With the level adjust functions the zero point can be set. The zero point can be adjusted manually or automatically (default). Level shifted Over flow Fig. 18: Using the automatic mode the level is changed until no overflow occurs. Determination of the exact value of V out and ΔV out To calculate the position with the highest precision you have to determine the value of Vout manually by apply the following steps: 1. Set the output voltage to maximum output and measure the voltage V out(max) 2. Set the output voltage to minimum output and measure the voltage V out(min) 3. V out = V out(max) - V out(min), ΔV out = V out / 4096. Page 9 of 12
Tooth structures The modules can be used at most different toothed shapes. To get an optimal signal from the module the toothed profiles should correspond to certain relations. In the following table you will find an overview of often used toothed profiles and their relations. Recommended tooth pitches h tooth height w tooth top and width g tooth gap d air gap Pitch = p p 4 ~ p 3 ~ 2p 3 ~ p 5 Pitch = p p 4 ~ p 3 ~ 2p 3 ~ p 5 Pitch = p p 4 ~ p 3 ~ 2p 3 ~ p 5 Pitch = p p 3 ~ p 5 Fig. 19: Table with typical parameters for the design of the tooth structure.
