The ENC-LAB02 is a fully featured incremental rotary or linear encoder tester and simulator.  It tests all channels simultaneously for RS422, HTL and Open Collector encoders, displaying the results on a 4 line display screen.  It uses standard AC power and can be easily taken to a machine site.  The unit provides power to the encoders, 5V, 12V, 24V.

The ENC-LAB02 also has an Automatic Testing feature where the parameters of the encoders can be entered into the tester.  Parameters for up to 8 encoders can be stored.  After completion of the test, the display will show if the Encoder Passes or Fails, and the cause of failure is displayed.

The ENC-LAB02 can be connected to a PC using a USB cable or Ethernet.  Software on the PC will display wave forms, detailed analysis and store data.  It checks for:

• Number of pulses on each channel
• Compares the number of pulses with the ppr setting of the encoder to see if a channel is dropping pulses
• Mark / Space ratio (High and Low Level ratio), should be 50% with a minor tolerance
• Phase angle between A and B (should be 90 degrees)
• Current limits of the encoder

The ENC-LAB02 also functions as an encoder simulator for incremental encoders in a one cycle or continuous mode.  The encoder mode and PPR can be programmed, and it can operate in continuous or burst modes.
