    The document summarizes an optical encoder project by a group of ME students. The encoder converts rotary motion into an electrical signal using a light source, slotted disk, and phototransistors. It operates on optical principles, with light passing through the disk and triggering the phototransistors to output a sine wave that is converted into a square wave. The number of lines on the disk determines the pulses per revolution, with each pulse equaling a full 360 degree electrical signal. LabVIEW is used to measure rpm by collecting samples, measuring the period, and converting it to revolutions per minute.

    Introduction

    An optical encoder is a complex system


    which converts a mechanical rotary
    motion (angular position or speed) into
    a usable electrical signal.
    An encoder is a photoelectric emitter
    receiver pair looking through a slotted disk.
    The encoder operates on the principal of
    optics. Light from the LED passes through
    the disc, the mask, and into the photo
    transistors.
    The photo transistor outputs a sine wave
    which corresponds to the flashing light
    pulses from the LED. The sine wave is
    then converted to a square wave into
    DAQ/NI ELVIS II.
    Pulse rate or Pulses per Revolution is
    defined as the number of physical lines and
    corresponding spaces on the code disc.

    A pulse is equal to one


    complete 360 degree
    Electrical(not mechanical)
    square wave
    from an encoder.
    A LabVIEW Measurement of RPM
    We can use the Pulse Measurements.vi
    to measure the period, pulse duration, or
    duty cycle from a waveform array.
    We can convert the period measurement to
    revolutions per minute by inverting the
    period to get frequency and multiplying by
    60 to get rpm. For scaling, divide by 1000 to
    get krpm.
    Use the DAQ Assistant to collect 1000 V
    samples for the tachometer graph and
    provide an input signal array for the Pulse
    Measurements.vi.
    Run this VI and take your motor for a spin.
    See and hear how responsive the motor is
    to a rapid change in the rpm setpoint.
