MPA-179THTU0 Application Field and Working Principle

Introduction

The MPA-179THTU0 is a miniature, digital absolute angular position encoder designed for use in a wide variety of applications. The encoder can be mounted easily and typically operates from a supply of only 4 volts, making it ideal for many portable or mobile applications. The encoder is highly configurable and provides precision absolute position information.

Application Field

The MPA-179THTU0 is a position sensor suitable for use in automation systems, robotics, power steering, and materials handling. It is ideal for applications where there is a need for high accuracy, reliability, and speed. In addition, its compact size makes it suitable for applications where the space available for installation is limited.

The encoder is suitable for use in applications where there is a need to measure absolute position in a range of applications. It is capable of measuring angular position over a range of 0 to 360 degrees. The encoder is also commonly used in laboratory and testing equipment.

Working Principle

The working principle of the distance measurement system based on optical sensors is that light generated from two LEDs is sent to two optical receivers. The output signals from the receiver are compared and amplified by a comparator. The position signal from the encoder can be fed directly to a PLC or control system and used as part of its input/output system.

The encoder is a self-powered device that uses electromagnetic radiation for its operation. A rotating disk with teeth is used as the source of radiated energy. The disk is mounted on the encoder\'s shaft, and the disk\'s teeth pass between the two LEDs, producing a pulsed signal. The position data is then determined by the angular position of the rotating disk.

The encoder is also capable of providing digital data output in several formats, including analog, pulse width modulation (PWM), serial, and parallel. The output format can be configured to suit the application\'s requirements.

The encoder is also designed to be tolerant of environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature, and vibration. It is also resistant to dust, oil, and other contaminants, making it suitable for many industrial settings.

Conclusion

The MPA-179THTU0 is a miniature digital absolute angular position encoder that is designed for use in a wide variety of applications. The encoder offers the advantages of high accuracy, speed, and reliability, and is suitable for use in automation systems, robotics, power steering, and materials handling. It is also tolerant of environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature, and vibration and is resistant to dust, oil, and other contaminants. Its small size makes it suitable for applications where space is at a premium.
