Analog incremental measuring
system
The sensor sends the measured
variable to the controller as an ana-
log sine-cosine differential signal
with an amplitude of approx. 1 Vpp
(peak-to-peak value) in the nominal
range. The period is 1 mm. The
signals remain low-frequency even
during rapid movement. To ensure
noise-free transmission, the
permissible maximum cable length
is 20 m.
Signal period 360° el.

Digital incremental system
The sensor transmits the measured
variable to the controller as a digital
differential voltage signal (RS422).
The edge separation A/B
corresponds to the resolution of the
sensing head.

Circuit for reference position
Depending on the model, the
sensor sends either no reference
signal, a pole-periodic reference
signal, a single reference signal, a
fixed periodic or a distance coded
reference signal. The width of
the reference signal for the digital
BML-S1A_-Q is always one
increment. With the analog
BML-S1A_-A the width of the
reference signal is approx. 1/2 a
period, i.e. 0.5 mm.
For periodic reference points an
external reference switch must be
installed at the selected reference
point position.. The controller must
link both signals as shown in
Fig. 5-7. The accuracy requirements
of this switch are not especially
high.
Note: The reference signals from the
limit switch area are not allowed to
be processed.

Circuit for limit switches front and
back
The opposite poled permanent
magnets at the ends of the
measuring range are each sensed
by a limit switch sensor.
The sensors have a normally closed
function to GND, so that cable
break can be detected.
