Description
The Series E are high performance, cost effective, three-channel optical incremental encoders. Series E encoders emphasize high reliability, high resolution and easy assembly, using transmissive encoder technology to sense rotary position. Outputs of the Series E encoders are two channel quadrature outputs and a third channel gated index output. These encoder modules can be easily mounted to customer-specific applications using a choice of shaft and mounting face options.
The Series E encoder translates rotary motion of a shaft into a three-channel digital output. The Series E encoder has five key parts: a single light emitting diode (LED) light source, a photodetector IC with a set of uniquely configured photodiodes, an interpolator IC, a line driver IC and a pair of lenses. This light is used to produce internal signals A and A-, and B and B-.
As part of the "push-pull" detector system, these signals are fed through comparators and line driver that are part of the signal processing circuitry to produce the final outputs for channels A.

Definitions
Count (N): N refers to the cycles per revolution (cpr) of the encoder output.
One Cycle (C): 360 electrical degrees (°e).
One Shaft Rotation: 360 mechanical degrees, N cycles (rotary motion only).
Phase (.): The number of electrical degrees between the center of the high state on the channel A and the center of the high state of channel B. This value is nominally 90°e.
Pulse Width (P): The number of the electrical degrees that an output is a high-level during one cycle, nominally 180°e or 1/2 a cycle.
Pulse Width Error (.P): The deviation in electrical degrees of the pulse width from its ideal value of 180°e.
Index Pulse Width (Po): The number of electrical degrees that an index is high during one full shaft rotation. This value is nominally 90°e or 1/4 cycle.
State Width (S): The number of the electrical degrees between a transition in the output of the channel B. There are 4 states per cycle, each nominally 90°e.
State Width Error (.S): The deviation in electrical degrees of each state width from its ideal value of 90°e.

Mating Connector
The Series E encoder requires a 5 x 2 (1.27mm x 1.27mm) female IDC Connector. The cable used is 0.635mm pitch flat ribbon cable.
Electrical Interface
A compatible line receiver is the National Semiconductor DS26C32AM Quad Differential Line Receiver. Unused pin should be grounded for noise reduction.

Output Waveforms
Direction of Encoder Rotation: When the shaft rotates in a clockwise direction (when viewed from the shaft end), channel A will lead channel B. When the shaft rotates in a counter-clockwise direction (when viewed from the shaft end), channel B will lead channel A.
