with detectors and output
circuitry, and a codewheel which
rotates between the emitter and
detector IC. The outputs of the
HEDS-5500/5600 and HEDM-
5500/ 5600 are two square waves
in quadrature. The HEDS-5540
and 5640 also have a third chan-
nel index output in addition to the
two channel quadrature. This
index output is a 90 electrical
degree, high true index pulse
which is generated once for each
full rotation of the codewheel.
The HEDS series utilizes metal
codewheels, while the HEDM
series utilizes a film codewheel
allowing for resolutions to 1024
CPR. The HEDM series is nont
available with a third channel
index.
These encoders may be quickly
and easily mounted to a motor.
For larger diameter motors, the
HEDM-5600, and HEDS-5600/
5640 feature external mounting
ears.
The quadrature signals and the
index pulse are accessed through
five 0.025 inch square pins
located on 0.1 inch centers.
Standard resolutions between 96
and 1024 counts per revolution
are presently available. Consult
local Hewlett-Packard sales repre-
sentatives for other resolutions.
Description
The HEDS-5500/5540, HEDS-
5600/5640, and HEDM-5500/
5600 are high performance, low
cost, two and three channel
optical incremental encoders.
These encoders emphasize high
reliability, high resolution, and
easy assembly.
Each encoder contains a lensed
LED source, an integrated circuit
Applications
The HEDS-5500, 5540, 5600,
5640, and the HEDM-5500, 5600
provide motion detection at a low
cost, making them ideal for high
volume applications. Typical
applications include printers,
plotters, tape drives, positioning
tables, and automatic handlers.
ESD WARNING: NORMAL HANDLING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID STATIC DISCHARGE.

Theory of Operation
The HEDS-5500, 5540, 5600,
5640, and HEDM-5500, 5600
translate the rotary motion of a
shaft into either a two- or a three-
channel digital output.
As seen in the block diagram,
these encoders contain a single
Light Emitting Diode (LED) as its
light source. The light is
collimated into a parallel beam by
means of a single polycarbonate
lens located directly over the
LED. Opposite the emitter is the
integrated detector circuit. This
IC consists of multiple sets of
photodetectors and the signal
processing circuitry necessary to
produce the digital waveforms.
The codewheel rotates between
the emitter and detector, causing
the light beam to be interrupted
by the pattern of spaces and bars
on the codewheel. The
photodiodes which detect these
interruptions are arranged in a
pattern that corresponds to the
radius and design of the
codewheel. These detectors are
also spaced such that a light
period on one pair of detectors
corresponds to a dark period on
the adjacent pair of detectors. The
photodiode outputs are then fed
through the signal processing
circuitry resulting in A, A, B and B
(also I and I in the HEDS-5540
and 5640). Comparators receive
these signals and produce the
final outputs for channels A and
B. Due to this integrated phasing
technique, the digital output of
channel A is in quadrature with
that of channel B (90 degrees out
of phase).
In the HEDS-5540 and 5640, the
output of the comparator for I
and I is sent to the index
processing circuitry along with
the outputs of channels A and B.

index pulse P

codewheel. This output P

Pulse Width (P):

Direction of Rotation:
When the
codewheel rotates in the counter-
clockwise direction (as viewed
from the encoder end of the
motor), channel A will lead
channel B. If the codewheel
rotates in the clockwise direction,
channel B will lead channel A.
Index Pulse Width (P

):
The
number of electrical degrees that
an index output is high during
one full shaft rotation. This value
is nominally 90°e or 1/4 cycle.
