Abstract

The SCVMS provides a new hardware-based approach to velocity measurement for optical shaft encoders. The design incorporates features which give accurate velocity readings over a large range of velocities (200,000 to 0.5 transitions per second). The design is implemented in a single chip Field-Programmable-Gate Array (FPGA), resulting in low cost, low chip-count, and user reconfigurability. Since this design is implemented in hardware, a significant reduction in computing requirements is realized as compared to traditional software-based velocity measurement methods. The design is well suited for use in motion control systems and robots for industrial and biomedical applications.
