Electronic commutation with position encoders
Commutation in permanent-magnet
three-phase motors
Before start-up, permanent-magnet three-
phase motors must have an absolute
position value available for electrical
commutation. HEIDENHAIN rotary
encoders are available with different types
of rotor position recognition:
• Absolute rotary encoders in singleturn
and multiturn versions provide the abso-
lute position information immediately af-
ter switch-on. This makes it immediately
possible to derive the exact position of
the rotor and use it for electronic com-
mutation.
• Incremental rotary encoders with a
second track—the Z1 track—provide
one sine and one cosine signal (C and D)
for each motor shaft revolution in
addition to the incremental signals. For
sine commutation, rotary encoders with
a Z1 track need only a subdivision unit
and a signal multiplexer to provide both
the absolute rotor position from the Z1
track with an accuracy of ± 5° and the
position information for speed and
position control from the incremental
track (see also Interfaces—Commutation
signals).
• Incremental rotary encoders with
block commutation tracks also output
three commutation signals U, V and W.
which are used to drive the power
electronics directly. These encoders are
available with various commutation
tracks. Typical versions provide 3 signal
periods (120° mech.) or 4 signal periods
(90° mech.) per commutation and
revolution. Independently of these
signals, the incremental square-wave
signals serve for position and speed
control. (See also Interfaces—
Commutation signals.)
Commutation of synchronous linear
motors
Like absolute rotary and angular encoders,
absolute linear encoders of the LIC and LC
series provide the exact position of the
moving motor part immediately after
switch-on. This makes it possible to start
with maximum holding load on vertical
axes even at a standstill.

Keep in mind the switch-on behavior of
the encoders (see Interfaces catalog,
