The H25X series single turn encoder is

designed for those applications that
require 14 or 15 bits of resolution
in a compact, easy-to-integrate
package. Gray Code and Natural
Binary outputs are available for
installations using a parallel input
with the controller. For simplicity of data transmission, ease of
cabling and better noise immunity, an SSI (Serial Synchronous
Interface) is also offered. This
encoder works with the BEI Serial-toParallel converter, allowing for system
upgrades from parallel output to SSI.

Electrical Specifications

The H25X is built to the exacting mechanical standards used with the H25 design,
including: dual preloaded ABEC 7 bearings; matched thermal coefficients on critical
components and electronically centered code disks for high accuracy and stability over
a range of environments. Specify the H25X when you need high pointing accuracy and
ruggedness in a 14 or 15 bit absolute encoder for your telescope, antenna, robotics,
material handling or general industrial automation.

SSI output provides effective synchronization in a closed-loop control7system. A clock

pulse train from a controller is used to shift out sensor data: one bit of position data is
transmitted to the controller per clock pulse received by the sensor. The use of a

Interfacing Long Data Lines

Cable impedance can create a transmission

delay, in effect, shifting the phase relationship
between the clock pulse and the data. If this
phase shift exceeds 180, then the wrong bit
position will be sampled by the receiver. As a
result, the maximum allowable clock frequency
is a function of the cable length. For 24 AWG,
stranded, 3 pair cable (BEI part number 37048003 or equivalent) the group delay is 1.36ns/ft.
The table below shows the maximum transmission rate allowable as a function of cable length
to ensure a phase shift of less than 90.

3. Complementary outputs are recommended for use
with line driver type (source/sink) outputs. When used
with differential receivers, this combination provides a
high degree of noise immunity.
4. Output ICs: Output ICs are available as either Line
Driver (LD) or NPN Open Collector (OC) types. Open
Collectors require pull-up resistors, resulting in higher
output source impedance (sink impedance is similar to
that of line drivers). In general, use of a Line Driver style
output is recommended. Line Drivers source or sink current and their lower impedance mean better noise immunity and faster switching times. Warning: Do not connect
any line driver outputs directly to circuit common/OV,
which may damage the driver. Unused outputs should
be isolated and left floating. Our applications specialists
would be pleased to discuss your system requirements
