Laser Head Height Sensor – Looking for a Beta Tester

This one says height sensor is Ethercat or +- 10v

Some of their  controller packages refer to a TTA interface but don't describe it anywhere

Having a more open spec rather than closed source will be much better anyway.

I would say a couple hundred KHz so pretty much any encoder interface could work.
Also better if its a square wave so it asks the least of the frequency/period counter.
An offset frequency is good also so you don't lose bandwidth near 0 frequency.

Hi PCW

   If in your opinion square signal 20kHz = 70kHz for 0-10mm distance ( 0.05kHz / 0.01mm resolution ) is good idea ?
And 10kHz for colision.

Yes, 20 to 70 KHz should be fine as it will work with general encoder/counter inputs
and always high enough frequency so the control bandwidth is not affected.
 

That did not take long! ?
This makes it usable with Mesa boards and even parallel ports as they can easily count encoder signals

looking good!

I think it's a good time to send it to you for testing. You'll receive the package next week.

I wonder if it will work as you expect.

Criticism is welcome because it drives me to work properly

Tou must be psychic! I just sent you an email! I havea Beckhoff EL5151 encoder on its way and hope to put a Mesa order together soon too so we can test both environments.

I have completed the preliminary version of the documentation.

Very well prepared
