The simulator provides test and simulation functions for Pressure Specialty and Supply encoders and encoder boards. Needed for development engineers and testing functions for the field service tech. Useful for training classes.

Features:

• Visual verification of encoder's Quadrature signal.
• Up button simulates block moving up one layer.
• Down button simulates block moving down one layer.
• Test button simulates block moving up 4 layers and then down 4 layers then repeats.
• Rate allows for speed control of the Quadrature output signal from 3.4hz to 340hz.
• Power - 9vdc battery.
• Microprocessor Design

Testing the Encoder Board:

The simulator allows you to calibrate the board and then move up and down while verifying the correct foot output. By doing a full calibration and counting the feet output pulse for each layer, you can verify the board as good. If you connect a counter to the foot output and run test, you can verify the board's performance at different rates.

Testing the Encoder:

To test the encoder, connect the cable from the simulator to the encoder. If the encoder is still on the draw works, the signal LEDs should light up evenly and steady in both directions. If either LED stays on, you have a prox problem. Or if only one blinks you have a prox problem. It's a visual indication of the condition of the prox sensors. If you have a good eye you can tell if the sensors are out of calibration. One of the two LEDs will stay on longer than the other one. Both LEDs should be on and off at equal times. This may also be an indication of metal trash inside the encoder.

Either way the Encoder Simulator / Tester is a valuable tool for the service tech and bench tech as well.
