Abstract
The rotation type absolute encoder of the present invention is constituted by a magnetic type one-pulse encoder for detecting one or more rotations, and an optical type absolute encoder comprising a plural number of aspheric LED lens as a light source, a group of detecting elements corresponding to the area of the light source, a slit disc beginning from the track of two slits, and a differential input type current-to-voltage convertor. This absolute encoder is also so constructed as to back up the circuit voltage by an external battery and an internal large capacitance capacitor when a current is cut, and has a circuit for serially transmitting a signal indicating the number of rotations and the absolute angle to an external controller, and a circuit for synthesizing and outputting one reference pulse per rotation from the signals of the magnetic type one-pulse encoder and the optical type absolute encoder.
