Customer requirements
Usage of angle encoder at the test cell is a
standard application. Today customer expectation
is “plug and play”: Easy installation
of the encoder and precise and save measurement
of many different values in parallel,
highly resolved and reliable data acquisition.
Application
But expectations rise. Engine tests expand
to even in vehicle testing on the road (RDE).
AVL has developed a new optical encoder
366C that is very small and light with little
inertia. It can be installed and operated in
the vehicle.
Beyond this the new encoder provides the
information of rotation direction – either left
or right. For this reason the absolute position
of the crank shaft is known at any time and
in combination with X-ion™ the shaft can be
positioned at any desired crank angle when
the engine is shut down, useful e.g. for startstop
application.
