ams OSRAM has increased the number of steps per revolution in the device’s incremental ABI outputs. The 47 series’ ABI outputs are equivalent to the outputs of a standard optical encoder, therefore motor control system designers can easily replace an optical encoder with an ams OSRAM magnetic position sensor measurement system, without any change to their control software or interface. The maximum resolution of the AS5047P’s ABI output is raised to 4,000 steps/1,000 pulses per revolution in decimal mode, and 4,096 steps/1,024 pulses per revolution in binary mode, which means that a wider range of optical encoders can now be replaced by a like-for-like magnetic position sensor.
