Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus for measuring an absolute rotation angle and a method thereof. In particular, the apparatus is available for a measurement and servo system in which high precision is required in rotation drive and absolute rotation angle measurement. The apparatus comprises a rotation mechanism having a driver rotating unit connected to a resolver, a driver fixing unit coupled to the driver rotating unit and a sensor for detecting a rotating state of the driver rotating unit; an actuator unit for driving the rotation mechanism in response to a rotation control; a resolver interface for converting a rotation detection signal from the resolver to a digital resolve data; and a controller for providing the rotation control signal to the actuator unit, receives the digital resolver data and the rotation detection signal to set the initial rotation reference position of the rotation mechanism, and compensates a rotation angle when the digital resolver data changes abruptly in respect to the initial rotation reference position to calculate an absolute rotation angle.
