Heidenhain MT2500 TTL - Swag - 02-02-2018
Hi,
I’m looking for an inexpensive interface for a few MT1271 length gages. These have an RS-422 TTL 5v Output (not the sinusoidal output) as far as I’m able to tell, and a resolution of 0.2μ.
Here on page 7 is an interface description: https://www.heidenhain.de/fileadmin/pdb/media/img/1078628-21_Interfaces_en.pdf
I was looking at a MAX14890, but like the idea of Yuriy’s already finished design (less work for me
)Would the Quadrature Board be capable of reading these?
Kind regards,
Sam

Yuriy says he uses 5 micron scales and implies that he's tested 1 micron scales. He'll probably answer you shortly, but I think the only potential issue with a 0.2um scale would be whether the MSP430 could keep up. If you're moving at Heidenhain's 500mm/sec maximum traversing speed for the MT1271 then you're looking at a 2.5Mhz signal. I think that would be your limiting factor.
