The resolver-to-digital converter MSX-RDC-17 is a device for supplying and acquiring a resolver. It converts the position value given by the resolver into a digital incremental output signal. The resolution of the incremental encoder output can be defined using the switch on the front side of the MSX-RDC-17.

Features

Power supply

Nominal voltage: 5 V

Resolver output/input

Frequency: 10 kHz

Incremental encoder output

Output signals: incremental A+, A-, B+, B-, Index+, Index-
Output type: differential, RS422
Resolution: 10-/12-/14-/16-bit

Power supply connector

For the power supply of the MSX-RDC-17, a 4-pin screw terminal is fixed on the bottom side of the housing. The Ground and the supply pins are connected internally with each other. For less current flow over the terminals, please connect all four pins externally with each other!

Resolver connector

The resolver has to be connected to the 9-pin D-Sub female connector on the front side of the MSX-RDC-17.

Switch

On the front side of the MSX-RDC-17, a switch panel with three switches is installed. Switches 1 and 2 are used for setting the resolution of the incremental encoder output. Switch 3 allows you to reset the MSX-RDC-17. To do a reset, you have to switch on switch 3 for a short time and then switch it off again.
