FlexWedge Interfaces for Quadrature Devices

The FlexWedge FW-QUAD1 and FW-QUAD3 accept both squarewave and sinewave (sinusoidal) signals with 90° phase-sifted signals. The FW-Quad interfaces will automatically calibrate to 1Vpp or 2Vpp and can connect up to 9 devices (using splitter cables) to USB serial port. 

Quadrature Signal: 

• Devices are connected to interface directly or with cable adapters.
• Input connectors designed for most linear scales with DB15 (AT116 standard)
• Device/cable adapters available to convert to standard input from non-standard devices

Single or Differential device input types:

• Squarewave and Sinewave devices mixed port to port
• Devices with A/B Output signal
• Devices with Differential output signals: A/-A and B/-B

Processing data from devices:

• Processing speed up to 40 Mhz
• Self-calibration to 1Vpp or 2Vpp signal is done automatically once device beginning to send signal
• Analog resolution 16, 24,or 48 bit for each input (depending on input configuration)

Input options:

• Linear Scales
• Linear Gages
• Any device with quadrature output
• Each DB15 can connect up to 3 devices with splitter cables (not included)

Output options:

• Streaming data to output port
• Host data request
• Data switch trigger
