Orange 600 PPR ABZ 3-Phase Incremental Optical Rotary Encoder

This is Orange 600 PPR ABZ 3-Phase Incremental Optical Rotary Encoder.

A rotary encoder is a type of position sensor which is used for determining the angular position of a rotating shaft. It generates an electrical signal, either analog or digital, according to the rotational movement.

Orange 600 PPR Incremental Optical Rotary Encoder is hi-resolution optical encoder with quadrature outputs for increment counting. It will give 2400 transitions per rotation between outputs A and B. whereas Z phase will produce one  transitions per rotation. A quadrature decoder is required to convert the pulses to an up count. The Encoder is build to Industrial grade.

The Encoder comes with Standard 2 meter long cable which can be extended with extra cable if needed.

Note:

1. Consider Adding Pull up resistor to All A-B-Z phase of the encoder output to avoid the effect of interference in output and get the precise logical output value from encoder
2. Also adding pull up resistor to all phase output line protects the open collector output-triode from damage due to direct Vcc supply short circuit.

Power and Input Terminal Assignments:

Terminal Name
Wire Color
Description

Phase A
White
Quadrature encoded output A

Phase B
Green
Quadrature encoded output B

Phase Z
Yellow
Quadrature encoded output Z

VCC
Red
VCC should be connected to +ve 5V of supply

GND
Black
Ground should be connected to negative of supply

Shield
Golden
Shield should be connected to GND

Shielding is important. At minimum, the cable should be protected either by a foil jacket with a drain wire or by a braided-wire shield that is grounded. For very sensitive applications or high-EMI environments, foil jacketed wires in combination with an overall braided-wire shield around the cable should be used to avoid the interference and precise encoder output.

How to connect optical rotary encoder with Arduino

Tutorial Code:

//these pins can not be changed 2/3 are special pins
int encoderPin1 = 2;
int encoderPin2 = 3;

volatile int lastEncoded = 0;
volatile long encoderValue = 0;

long lastencoderValue = 0;

int lastMSB = 0;
int lastLSB = 0;

void setup() {
Serial.begin (9600);

pinMode(encoderPin1, INPUT);
pinMode(encoderPin2, INPUT);

digitalWrite(encoderPin1, HIGH); //turn pullup resistor on
digitalWrite(encoderPin2, HIGH); //turn pullup resistor on

//call updateEncoder() when any high/low changed seen
//on interrupt 0 (pin 2), or interrupt 1 (pin 3)
attachInterrupt(0, updateEncoder, CHANGE);
attachInterrupt(1, updateEncoder, CHANGE);

}

void loop(){
//Do stuff here

Serial.println(encoderValue);
delay(1000); //just here to slow down the output, and show it will work even during a delay
}

void updateEncoder(){
int MSB = digitalRead(encoderPin1); //MSB = most significant bit
int LSB = digitalRead(encoderPin2); //LSB = least significant bit

int encoded = (MSB << 1) |LSB; //converting the 2 pin value to single number
int sum = (lastEncoded << 2) | encoded; //adding it to the previous encoded value

if(sum == 0b1101 || sum == 0b0100 || sum == 0b0010 || sum == 0b1011) encoderValue ++;
if(sum == 0b1110 || sum == 0b0111 || sum == 0b0001 || sum == 0b1000) encoderValue –;

lastEncoded = encoded; //store this value for next time
}
