Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the field of motion control, various types of motors are used, and various encoders are required to locate the motor's operating status and position to obtain real-time position. The encoder data is usually transmitted to the controller through a differential signal acquisition module.

[0003] To prevent encoder overvoltage or other unexpected operations from burning out the controller and causing the entire control system to fail, isolation circuits are typically incorporated into the differential signal acquisition module. However, existing isolation circuits require multiple isolation chips, occupying a significant amount of board space and hindering module miniaturization. Figure 1 The acquisition module shown acquires the encoder's data signal and clock signal through two differential lines. The two differential lines are connected to two first-level isolation chips, which then transmit the signals to a second-level isolation chip. The second-level isolation chip then transmits the signals to the controller. For the data acquisition of one encoder, three isolation chips are required. Utility Model Content
